How to Connect the Panasonic TVs to the Panasonic VCR/DVD
Players
Analog VideoThere are four ways to connectthe video from the VCR/DVD playerto the TV. All four use an analogvideo signal.
The first is via the coax cablewhich combines the video and audio over the same cable. It is the poorest quality of the fourmethods of video connection.
Simply connect the VCR output to the TV input.

VCR/DVD player
Analog VideoThe second method of video connection is
the composite connection which only carries
a video signal. The audio is carried over
separate cables. It is higher quality than the
coax connection and can be used on either
the VCR or DVD modes.
TV
Just connect the video output here.To the video input on the TV.
VCR/DVD player
This composite video input is used for VHS tape dubbing and other purposes.
Analog VideoThe third method of video connection is
called S-Video. Like composite it requires
only one cable but does not carry audio over
the cable. It is much higher in quality than
coax or composite but only the DVD player
function can support it.
TV
Connect the DVD player S-video output here with an S-Video cableto the TV S-video input here.
VCR/DVD player
Make sure to put the video select switch to the left for S-Video
The fourth type of video connection is calledcomponent. Unlike the other three types,component video utilizes three different cables tosend the video signal. Once again the audio is sentindependently on separate cables. Component video ishigher in quality than S-Video and is the highest qualityvideo connection that our TVs and VCR/DVDs canhandle.
Analog VideoTo connect the component video you will need to connect three cables…
…one here……one here…
…and one here.
Make sure to put the video select switch to the right for component Video output.

Analog AudioThe audio is much simpler than the video.Both the TV and VCR/DVD use the sameanalog audio connection. The VCR/DVD players send analog audio to the TV in stereo over a separate left and right audio channel.This connection will work for the composite, S-Video and component video connections. Remember that the coax connectiondoes not need separate audio cablesbecause it carries the audio over the samewire.
To connect analog audio when using either the composite or S-Video connections you must connect from either one of these two audio outputs
To these audio inputs.
To connect audio when using component video use these inputs.

VCR/DVD player
These two are left and right audio inputs for VHS tape dubbing and other purposes.
Digital AudioThe other audio connection that the VCR/DVDplayer has is a digital fiber optic cable capable of carrying all the audio channels on a DVD simultaneously. It is only supported in DVD mode. Unfortunately the TV’s we have do not support fiber optic connections so you will probably never use it while you work in the Media Center.
