Regarding DVD-Audio
Some multi-channel DVD-Audio will prevent down-mixing (➔ page 40) of all or part of their contents if this is the manufacturer’s intention. When
playing such discs, or such parts of disc, unless the number of connected speakers is the same as the disc’s channel specification, audio will not
be output properly (e.g. part of the audio is missing, multi-channel audio cannot be selected and audio is played in two channels). Refer to the
disc’s jacket for more information.

the VIDEO OUT terminal. (Actual results depend on the
television.)
Connect to COMPONENT VIDEO IN terminals on the television
through a component video cable. These terminals can be used
for either interlace or progressive output (➔ page 41) and provide
a purer picture than the S VIDEO OUT terminal.
•Connect to terminals of the same colour.
(➔ page 9, Note to owners of progressive compatible PAL
system televisions)
■ Component video output
Component signal outputs the colour difference signals (PB/PR) and luminance signal (Y) separately in order to achieve high fidelity in
reproducing colours. 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 (➔ page 41).

Using progressive output, you can enjoy high-resolution video
recorded on media such as DVD-Video. Connect this unit’s
component video output terminals to your television and turn on the
progressive output setting (➔ page 12).
•If you have a CRT (cathode ray tube) television
Use component output with progressive “Off” (Factory setting,
➔ page 35), even if it is progressive compatible, because
progressive output can cause some flickering. This is the same for
multi system televisions using PAL mode.

Finalize
A process that makes play of a recorded CD-R, CD-RW, DVD-R etc.
possible on equipment that can play such media. You can finalize
DVD-R, DVD-RW (DVD-Video format) or +R on this unit.
After finalizing, the disc becomes play-only and you can no longer
record or edit. You can record after formatting although it becomes
play-only after finalizing, when you use DVD-RW.
This is the digital form of multi-channel audio data (e.g., 5.1 channel)
before it is decoded into its various channels.
CPRM (Content Protection for Recordable Media)
CPRM is technology used to protect broadcasts that are allowed to
be recorded only once. Such broadcasts can be recorded only with
CPRM compatible recorders and discs.
Formatting
Dolby Digital
Formatting is the process of making media such as DVD-RAM
recordable on recording equipment.
You can format DVD-RAM or DVD-RW (only as DVD-Video format)
on this unit.
This is a method of coding digital signals developed by Dolby
Laboratories. Apart from stereo (2-channel) audio, these signals can
also be multi-channel audio. A large amount of audio information can
be recorded on one disc using this method.
Formatting erases irrevocably all contents.
Down-mixing
Frames and fields
This is the process of remixing the multi-channel audio found on
some discs into two channels for stereo output. It is useful when you
want to listen to the 5.1-channel audio recorded on DVDs through
your television’s speakers. Some discs prohibit down-mixing and this
unit can then only output the front two channels.
Frames refer to the single images that constitute the video you see
on your television. Each frame consists of two fields.

DTS (Digital Theater Systems)
This surround system is used in many movie theaters. There is good
separation between the channels, so realistic sound effects are
possible.
Frame

•A frame still shows two fields, so there may be some blurring, but
Dynamic range
picture quality is generally better.
Dynamic range is the difference between the lowest level of sound
that can be heard above the noise of the equipment and the highest
level of sound before distortion occurs. Dynamic range compression
means reducing the gap between the loudest and softest sounds.
This means you can listen at low volumes but still hear dialog clearly.
•A field still shows less picture information so it may be rougher, but
there is no blurring.
JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group)
This is a system used for compressing/decoding color still pictures.
If you select JPEG as the storage system on digital cameras etc.,
the data will be compressed to 1/10–1/100 of its original size. The
feature of JPEG is less deterioration in picture quality considering
the degree of compression.
Film and video
DVD-Video are recorded using either film or video. This unit can
determine which type has been used, then uses the most suitable
method of progressive output.
For PAL
Film is 25 frames per second.
Video is 50 fields per second (two fields making up one frame).
For NTSC
Film is 24 or 30 frames per second, with motion picture film generally
being 24 frames per second.
MP3 (MPEG Audio Layer 3)
An audio compression method that compresses audio to
approximately one tenth of its size without any considerable loss of
audio quality. You can play MP3 you have recorded onto CD-R and
CD-RW.

Video is 60 fields per second (two fields making up one frame).

Glossary
Pan & Scan/Letterbox
Using progressive output, you can enjoy the high-resolution video
recorded on media such as DVD-Video.
Your television must be compatible to enjoy progressive video.
Panasonic televisions with 625 (576)/50i · 50p, 525 (480)/60i · 60p
input terminals are progressive compatible.
In general, DVD-Video are produced with the intention that they be
viewed on a widescreen television (16:9 aspect ratio), so images
often don’t fit regular (4:3 aspect ratio) televisions. Two styles of
picture, “Pan & Scan” and “Letterbox”, deal with this problem.
Protection
Pan& Scan: The sides are cut off so the picture
fills the screen.
You can prevent accidental erasure by setting writing protection or
erasure protection.
Sampling frequency
Sampling is the process of converting the heights of sound wave
(analog signal) samples taken at set periods into digits (digital
encoding). Sampling frequency is the number of samples taken per
second, so larger numbers mean more faithful reproduction of the
original sound.
Letterbox: Black bands appear at the top and
bottom of the picture so the picture
itself appears in an aspect ratio of
16:9.

(This unit is compatible with version 2.0 and 1.1.)
TIFF (Tag Image File Format)
Progressive/Interlace
This is a system used for compressing/decoding color still pictures.
A common format for storing high quality images on digital cameras
and other devices.
The PAL video signal standard has 625 (or 576) interlaced (i) scan
lines, whereas progressive scanning, called 625p (or 576p), uses
twice the number of scan lines. For the NTSC standard, these are
called 525i (or 480i) and 525p (or 480p) respectively.

VPS (Video Programme System)/PDC (Programme Delivery Control)
VPS or PDC is a very convenient system which records exactly from beginning to end of the TV programmes set in timer recording, even if the
actual broadcasting time differs from the scheduled time due to delayed start or extension of the programme duration. Also, if a programme is
interrupted, for example, some special news is inserted, the recording will be paused automatically and resumed when the programme continues.
Depending on the signals sent from the TV stations, the VPS/PDC system may not work properly even when “VPS/PDC” has been set to “ON”.
Please check with the broadcasters in your area for details.
•In the case of VPS/PDC recording, use the correct time (VPS/PDC time) for recording the TV programmes.
Set “VPS/PDC” to “OFF” when the recording time is not the correct time (VPS/PDC time).
VPS/PDC recording is not performed when the time (VPS/PDC time) is incorrect, even if only by one minute. To find out the correct time (VPS/
PDC time), consult Teletext, a newspaper or magazine, or other source.
•If the actual broadcasting times of timer recordings overlap (regardless of whether they are VPS/PDC controlled), the recording that starts first
always has priority, and the recording of the later programme will start only after the first timer recording has finished.
•When the VPS/PDC signal drops out because the broadcast signal is weak, or when a TV station does not transmit a regular VPS/PDC signal,
the timer recording will be performed in the normal mode (without VPS/PDC) even if it was programmed for VPS/PDC.
In this case, even if the timer recording is performed, whatever has been programmed will not be cancelled at that particular time but at 4 a.m.
two days later.
•The start times of scheduled programmes listed in the newspaper or magazine may be changed at a later date. Set “VPS/PDC” to “OFF” when

Safety precautions
Placement
Foreign matter
Set the unit up on an even surface away from direct sunlight, high
temperatures, high humidity, and excessive vibration. These
conditions can damage the cabinet and other components, thereby
shortening the unit’s service life.
Do not let metal objects fall inside the unit. This can cause electric
shock or malfunction.
Do not let liquids get into the unit. This can cause electric shock or
malfunction. If this occurs, immediately disconnect the unit from the
power supply and contact your dealer.
Do not place heavy items on the unit.
Do not spray insecticides onto or into the unit. They contain
flammable gases which can ignite if sprayed into the unit.
Voltage
Do not use high voltage power sources. This can overload the unit
and cause a fire.
Service
Do not use a DC power source. Check the source carefully when
setting the unit up on a ship or other place where DC is used.
Do not attempt to repair this unit by yourself. If sound is
interrupted, indicators fail to light, smoke appears, or any other
problem that is not covered in these instructions occurs, disconnect
the AC mains lead and contact your dealer or an authorized service
center. Electric shock or damage to the unit can occur if the unit is
repaired, disassembled or reconstructed by unqualified persons.
AC mains lead protection
Ensure the AC mains lead is connected correctly and not
damaged. Poor connection and lead damage can cause fire or
electric shock. Do not pull, bend, or place heavy items on the lead.
Grasp the plug firmly when unplugging the lead. Pulling the AC
mains lead can cause electric shock.
Extend operating life by disconnecting the unit from the power
source if it is not to be used for a long time.
Do not handle the plug with wet hands. This can cause electric
shock.
