STEP 1 Connection
• The equipment connections described are examples.
• Before connection, turn off all equipment and read the appropriate operating instructions.
• Peripheral equipment and optional cables are sold separately unless otherwise indicated.
When there is no 21-pin Scart terminal on the television (➔ page 8)
■ RGB
This refers to the three primary colours of light, red (R), green (G), and blue (B) and also the method of producing video that uses them. By
dividing the video signal into the three colours for transmission, noise is reduced for even higher quality images.
■ Q Link functions
Q Link offers a range of convenient functions (For further details ➔ page 41). Make sure to connect a fully wired 21-pin Scart cable to the
television if using the Q Link function.
The following systems from other manufacturers have similar function to Q Link from Panasonic. For details, refer to your television’s operating
instructions or consult your dealer.
• Q Link (registered trademark of Panasonic)
• DATA LOGIC (registered trademark of Metz)
• Easy Link (registered trademark of Philips)
• Megalogic (registered trademark of Grundig)
• SMARTLINK (registered trademark of Sony)
■ Do not connect the unit through a video cassette recorder
Video signals fed through video cassette recorders will be affected by copyright
protection systems and the picture will not be shown correctly on the television.
• When connecting to a television with a built in VCR, connect to the input terminals on
the television side, not the VCR side.
■ When the unit is not to be used for a long time
To save power, unplug it from the household mains socket. This unit
consumes a small amount of power, even when it is turned off
[approx. 3 W (Power Save mode)].

progressive output can cause some flickering. This is the same for
multi system televisions using PAL mode.
