Safety
1. Power source—Connect the unit to a power source of the type
described in these instructions or as marked on the unit.
2. Polarization—The unit is equipped with a polarized power plug where
one blade is wider than the other. This safety feature
ensures that the plug fits into your household AC outlet only one way. If

contact an electrician to replace the obsolete outlet. Do not attempt to
defeat the safety purpose of the plug.
3. Power cord protection—Route the AC power supply cord so that it
will not be walked on or pinched by items placed on or against it. Never
take hold of the plug or cord with wet hands. Always grasp the plug
body firmly when connecting and disconnecting it.
4. Overloading—When connecting the AC power supply cord, be careful
not to overload the household AC outlet, extension cord, or outlet from
any other device as this can result in fire or electric shock.

Connection to a television
This page explains how to connect the unit to a television and set it up so you hear the audio through the television’s speakers. To get the full benefit from
the powerful multi-channel audio found on DVDs, you should connect an amplifier and speakers (➡page 18).
Before connection
≥Disconnect the AC power supply cord.
≥Refer to the television’s operating instructions.

When making this connection, ensure you connect the
audio cables to the corresponding audio input
terminals on the television.
red white yellow
S video cable
(not included)
To household AC outlet
(AC 120 V, 60 Hz)
S VIDEO OUT terminal
The S-video terminal achieves a more vivid picture
than the VIDEO OUT terminal by separating the
chrominance (C) and luminance (Y) signals. (Actual
results depend on the television.)
Television
COMPONENT VIDEO OUT terminal
These terminals can be used for either interlace or progressive
output and provide a purer picture than the S VIDEO OUT terminal.
Connection using these terminals outputs the color difference
signals (PB/PR) and luminance signal (Y) separately in order to
achieve high fidelity in reproducing colors.
≥The description of the component video input terminals depends
on the television or monitor (e.g. Y/PB/PR, Y/B-Y/R-Y, Y/CB/CR).
Connect to terminals of the same color.
≥After making this connection, change the black level for a better
picture (➡page 16, Video—Black Level Control).
Video cable

When making this connection, ensure you connect the audio
cables to the corresponding audio input terminals on the television.
Conserving power
This unit consumes a small amount of power, even when it is turned off (approx. 2 W). To save power when the unit is not to be used for a long time,
unplug it from the household AC outlet.
Connect your unit directly to your television.
Do not connect the unit through your video cassette recorder when
setting up your home entertainment system, because the picture may
not be played correctly due to the copy guard.
To enjoy progressive video
≥Connect to the component video (480p) input terminals on a
television compatible with this unit’s copy guard system. (Video will
not be displayed correctly if connected to an incompatible television.)
≥In QUICK SETUP, set “Progressive Out”to “Enable”(➡page 8).
For your reference
All televisions manufactured by Panasonic and that have 480p input
connectors are compatible. Consult the manufacturer if you have
another brand of television.
