My panasonic ex75 is not outputting a picture from it's tuner when connected to my lcd tv with component. If I use AV2 on my sony tv where the conection is indirect via scart into AV2 on the ex75 I see a picture. Strangely it is recording and playing back ok, just not showing a picture otherwise. Am I missing a vital setting?

Firstly, double check that you have the correct colour plugs in the correct sockets.

Next, it may be that you display does not support progressive mode , which may be switched on.

Go to Functions/ To others / Setup / Connections / Progressive to turn it off.

Whilst there it is worth noting that the unit cannot output RGB AND component ... It is Either / Or ... and it may simply be that you have not changed this setting over to switch to the component output. Setting is in:
Functions/ To others / Setup / Connections / AV1 output.

Choose one of the 'with component' settings. [ Either 'S video with component ' or 'Video with component.' ]
Video may be safer - in the sense that you want some way of being able to see the menus to change back if you cannot get this issue sorted out.

Good luck.

It must be faulty gavtech as i have gone into connections in the set up menu and checked everything, I am reasonably familiar as I also have an ES20 which was working fine through component. The unit even does not work through scart and I notice that it does not support RF output as my ES20 used to do. I have not tried HDMI yet. Luckily it appears to show a picture via AV2. I used to have a scart input from my Sony PVR into my ES20 so it could record and the EX75 shows a picture this way if I select the PVR input on my sony but only if this unit is in standby. I bought it from work cheap so I guess that is why it was returned by the original owner. I can live with the way it works at the moment.

All works fine using a HDMI lead so I think the scart output must be faulty.

To get component out, the HDMI lead must be removed.

It cannot do both at the same time.

Have you been trying it like that? [ Seeing you mention not having tried HDMI yet , above ... probably not. ]



The lack of AV1 output can be cause by simple corruption causing mute lines to latch... so to eliminate that possibility, do a power rest by disconnecting from the mains for 10 minutes.

this one seems odd as Gavtech is trying to sort the AV1 settings yet the OP is describing a picture using scart via AV1.

Are we saying that connection from AV2 to TV works over scart but AV1 to TV will not give a picture via scart or component?

This machine if connected to the tv via AV1 scart will not show a picture, however when connected to my Sony hard drive recorder via scart it shows a picture via the sony device on av2 on the tv. The component connection also does not work but via hdmi it works fine. I have checked the settings carefully and all is set correctly. I did buy this machine very cheaply, so perhaps it had this fault with the original owner. Luckly my lcd has hdmi.
