Cable Connection
Digital TV - Set-Top Box (DTV-STB) or DVD Connection
This TV is capable of displaying 1080i and 480p DTV signals when connected to a DTV Tuner Set-Top-Box (STB). This
TV also utilizes a progressive scan doubler, which de-interlaces the NTSC signal and progressively scans the image.
This allows you to sit close to the TV and not see the thin black horizontal lines (venetian blind effect) associated with
interlaced TV pictures.
• To view DTV programs, connect the STB to the component video input terminals (Y, P
inputs provide luminance and separate color signal.
• Select the output of the STB to either 1080i or 480p.
• A DTV signal must be available in your area.
• Use a Panasonic DTV-STB (Digital TV-Set-Top Box) or DVD Player.
