Connecting with a HDMI mini cable What is HDMI? HDMI is the next-generation interface for digital devices. When this unit is connected to a HDMI compatible device, the image and audio can be output with a digital signal. If you connect this unit to a HDMI compatible high definition TV and then play back the recorded high definition images, you can enjoy them in high resolution with high quality sound. If you connect this unit to a Panasonic TV compatible with VIERA Link, linked operations (VIERA Link) are possible. (l 83) Select the desired method of HDMI output when using an HDMI mini cable (optional). Select the menu. (l 27) [SETUP] # [HDMI RESOLUTION] # desired setting [AUTO]: The output resolution is automatically set based on the information from the connected TV. Information from the connected TV Output resolution 720p, 1080i 1080i Others 480p [1080i]: [480p]: The interlace method with 1080 available scan lines is used for output. The progressive method with 480 available scan lines is used for output. 1080i This is an interlace scan method which scans 1080 scan lines to display a high definition image. The 1080 available scan lines are divided in half and scanned on the screen alternatively every 1/60th of a second. The number of available scan lines is more than double the 480 scan lines used to display standard images until now so the images have clearer detail and a lot of presence. 480p This is a progressive scan method which scans all 480 available scan lines on the screen at the same time every 1/60th of a second. This method reduces the flickering as the scan lines are not scanned on the screen alternatively like in the interlace method. 480i This is an interlace scan method in which the 480 available scan lines are divided in half and scanned on the screen alternatively every 1/60th of a second. Interlace method/progressive method Video signals until now (NTSC) are referred to as 480i (i is short for interlace) whereas a highdensity video signal that doubles the number of scan lines is called 480p (p is short for progressive). The component terminal and the HDMI mini connector on this unit are also compatible with high definition image output 1080i. It is necessary to have a compatible TV to enjoy progressive and high definition images. ≥ If the images are not output on the TV when the setting is [AUTO], switch to the method [1080i] or [480p] which enables the images to be displayed on your TV. (Please read the operating instructions for the TV.) 81 VQT1N45
