Playing HighMAT discs
HighMAT (High performance Media Access
Technology) is a new standard for storing audio,
image, and video data files on CD media. When
you create a HighMAT CD using compliant PC
software, you can make playlist settings and
also record text information such as titles and
artist names. File searching is made easy using
CDs recorded in HighMAT through use of a
versatile navigation system. CDs recorded in
HighMAT can also be played on your PC.
This unit is compatible with HighMAT discs
containing WMA, MP3, or JPEG data. There are
some differences from other WMA/MP3/JPEG
discs.

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.
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.)
Video cable (not included)
S video cable (not included)
When making this connection, ensure you connect the audio cables to the corresponding audio input
terminals on the television.
Note
There is no video output when connected with the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT terminal.
To enjoy progressive video
1. Connect to the component video input terminals on a 480P compatible television. (Video will not
be displayed correctly if connected to an incompatible television.)
2. In SETUP menu, set “Progressive Out (Component)”to “Enable”(➡page 39).
3. Change “Video output mode”to “480P”(➡page 34).
≥All televisions manufactured by Panasonic and that have 480P input connectors are compatible.
Consult the manufacturer if you have another brand of television.
≥If the unit is connected to the television through VIDEO OUT or S VIDEO OUT, output will be
