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)

[1080i]: The interlace method with 1080 available scan lines is used for output.
[480p]: 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 1/60
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 1/60
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 1/60
Interlace method/progressive method
Video signals until now (NTSC) are referred to as 480i (i is short for interlace) whereas a high-
density 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.)
