You cannot directly connect to the unit. Connect through the amplifier, etc. 9
The television has both S-VIDEO IN
terminal and COMPONENT VIDEO
IN terminals. Which terminal should I
connect with?
We recommend the COMPONENT VIDEO IN terminal. Component signal outputs the
color difference signals (P
B/PR) and luminance signal (Y) separately in order to achieve
high fidelity in reproducing colors.
If the television is compatible with progressive output, a high quality picture can be
output because this unit’s component video output terminal outputs a progressive
output signal.

All Panasonic televisions that have 480p input terminals are compatible. Consult the
manufacturer if you have another brand of television.
Can I play DVD-Video, DVD-Audio
and Video CDs bought in another
country?
You can play them if the video standard is NTSC.
