Are the headphones and speakers directly connected to the unit? The television has both S-VIDEO IN terminal and COMPONENT VIDEO IN terminals. Which terminal should I connect with?

9

�We recommend the COMPONENT VIDEO IN terminal. Component signal outputs the color difference signals (PB/PR) and luminance signal (Y) separately in order to achieve high fidelity in reproducing colors. If the television is compatible with progressive output, a high quality picture can be output because this unit�s component video output terminal outputs a progressive output signal. �All Panasonic televisions that have 480P input terminals are compatible. Consult the manufacturer if you have another brand of television.
