Confused about Component Out on HPX170

[OJCamero]

The component out cable for our HPX170 has come up missing and we need to find a replacement. After hours of research and phone calls to Panasonic I am still at a stand still. I have read threads saying that the cable is the same as the one that comes on the Cannon XLR-1 a DCR-1000. Even the brochure for the HPX170 says that it has a D-4 component out. The only problem is that the DCR-1000 (D4) cable is different from the port on the back of the HPX170. Check out the following pic and let me know if you guys have any ideas.

The HVX200 had a D4 output. The 170 doesn't. If that's what the manual says, that's a typo.

So if it's not a D4, does anyone know what the name of the connector is?

The manual calls it just a "component video cable". I am thinking it is proprietary to Panasonic, I have never seen one like it. It is gold and appears to have two rows of five spades (not pins) but it does not look like the D4 in the picture. I can upload a pic if you want.

Looks like it is a proprietary cable. One of the techs finally called from Panasonic today. Only problem, they don't have any in stock and it will be a few weeks before they can get one. Great!
