Sound can be deceiving. Over time your hearing “comfort
level” adapts to higher volumes of sound. So what sounds
“normal” can actually be loud and harmful to your hearing.
Guard against this by setting your equipment at a safe level
BEFORE your hearing adapts.

DTS-HD
Glossary
DTS-HD is a high-quality, sophisticated audio format used in
movie theaters. Previous DTS Digital Surround-compatible
equipment can play DTS-HD as DTS Digital Surround audio.
BD-Video supports up to 7.1 channel output.
AVCHD
AVCHD is a new format (standard) for high definition video
cameras that can be used to record and play high-resolution
HD images.
DTS-HD High Resolution Audio
This is a signal format achieved by improving the previous
DTS, DTS-ES and DTS96/24 formats. It is compatible with
sampling frequency 96 kHz/48 kHz. BD-Video supports up to
7.1 channel output.
BD-J
Some BD-Video discs contain Java applications, and these
applications are called BD-J. You can enjoy various interactive
features in addition to playing normal video.
DTS-HD Master Audio
This is a lossless audio format and compatible with 96 kHz/
7.1ch or less. In addition, faithful reproduction of the master
audio is enabled using lossless audio encoding technology.
BD-Video supports up to 7.1 channel output.
BD-Live
This is a BD-Video (BD-ROM Profile 2) that supports the new
functions such as Internet connection, etc. in addition to the
BONUSVIEW function.
Dynamic range
Bitstream
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.
This is the digital form of multi-channel audio data (e.g., 5.1
channel) before it is decoded into its various channels.
BONUSVIEW (Final Standard Profile)
This is a BD-Video (BD-ROM Profile 1 version 1.1) that
supports the new functions such as Picture-in-picture and
Secondary Audio, etc.
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.
DivX
DivX is a popular media technology created by DivX, Inc. DivX
media files contain highly compressed video with high visual
quality that maintains a relatively small file size.
Film:
Recorded at 24 frames per second. (Recorded at
30 frames per second as well). Generally
appropriate for motion picture films.
Recorded at 30 frames/60 fields per second.
Generally appropriate for TV drama programs or
animation.
DNS Server
Video:
A server which acts like a telephone directory and translates
Internet domain names into IP addresses.
Dolby Digital
Folder
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.
This is a place on the disc or SD card where groups of data are
stored together. Additional folders can be created within
folders, and you can make detailed classifications depending
on the folder structure. (> 39)
Dolby Digital Plus
Multi-channel audio and higher audio quality is made possible
using Dolby Digital Plus. BD-Video supports up to 7.1 channel
output.
Frames and fields
Frames refer to the single images that constitute the video you
see on your television. Each frame consists of two fields.
* This unit allows audio to be decoded to a maximum of 5.1 ch
of PCM audio and output from the HDMI terminal. Also, audio
can be output with “Bitstream” to an AV amplifier that
supports it.

Dolby TrueHD
Dolby TrueHD is a very high quality audio format that
reproduces the studio master audio. BD-Video supports up to
7.1 channel output.
* This unit allows audio to be decoded to a maximum of 5.1 ch
of PCM audio and output from the HDMI terminal. Also, audio
can be output with “Bitstream” to an AV amplifier that
supports it.
≥A frame still shows two fields, so there may be some blurring,
but picture quality is generally better.
≥A field still shows less picture information so it may be
rougher, but there is no blurring.
Gateway
IP address of the electronic device providing Internet access.
Usually called a router IP address. (e.g., 192.168.0.1)
Down-mixing
This is the process of remixing the multi-channel audio found
on some discs into fewer channels.
HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface)
HDMI is a digital interface for consumer electronic products.
Unlike conventional connections, it transmits uncompressed
digital video and audio signals on a single cable.
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.
Hub
Used for connecting more than one device to the network.
RQT9334
(ENG)
48
IP address
Progressive/Interlace
A set of numbers which distinguish each device on the network
when, for example, connected to the Internet. When using a
PC in a LAN to access a PC or device that is not included in the
LAN, the IP address is called the local IP address. (e.g.,
192.168.0.10)
The video signal standard of NTSC has 480 interlaced (i) scan
lines, whereas progressive (p) scanning uses twice the number
of scan lines, and this is referred to as 480p. Using progressive
output, you can enjoy watching high resolution video.
Router
Distinguishes the IP address assigned to each device, such as
the PC, and relays the flow of data within the network.
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 benefit of JPEG is less deterioration in picture
quality considering the degree of compression.
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.
LAN (Local Area Network)
A group of linked devices in a company, school or home.
Indicates the boundaries of a particular network.
Subnet mask
Enables efficient network use. A set of numbers which identify
which part of the IP address allocated to every device
connected to the router is the network portion.
Local storage
This storage area is used as a destination for sub contents for
playing BD-Live on BD-Video.
VIERA CASTTM
LPCM (Linear PCM)
This is a type of PCM format.
These are uncompressed digital signals, similar to those found
on CDs.
An information service unique to Panasonic where specific
Web sites can be viewed on this unit by connecting to the
Internet without using a PC.
x.v.ColorTM
MPEG2 (Moving Picture Experts Group)
A standard for efficiently compressing and expanding color
video.
MPEG2 is a compression standard used for DVD and satellite
based digital broadcasting.
x.v.ColorTM is a name for devices that are compatible with the
xvYCC format, an international standard for expanded color in
motion pictures, and that follow the rules for signal
transmission.
You can enjoy vivid colors of wider color ranges for a more
realistic picture when connected to a TV that supports the
x.v.ColorTM with HDMI cable.
MP3 (MPEG Audio Layer 3)
An audio compression method that compresses audio to
approximately one tenth of its size without any significant loss
of audio quality.
1080i (1125i)
In one high definition image, 1080 (1125) alternating scan lines
pass to create an interlaced image. Because 1080i (1125i)
more than doubles current television broadcasts of 480i, the
detail is much clearer and creates a more realistic and rich
image.
Pan&Scan/Letterbox
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.
1080p (1125p)
In one high definition image, 1080 (1125) scan lines pass at the
same time to create a progressive image. Since progressive
video does not alternate scan lines like interlace, there is a
minimal amount of screen flicker.
Pan&Scan: The sides are cut off so the
picture fills the screen.
* This unit can only output 1080/24p.
Letterbox: Black bands appear at the top
and bottom of the picture so
the picture itself appears in an
aspect ratio of 16:9.
24p
This is a progressive image recorded at a rate of 24 frames per
second.
720p (750p)
PCM (Pulse Code Modulation)
In one high definition image, 720 (750) scan lines pass at the
same time to create a progressive image. Since progressive
video does not alternate scan lines like interlace, there is a
minimal amount of screen flicker.
This is one format for converting analog audio into digital audio,
enabling you to enjoy digital audio with no hassle.
Picture-in-picture
This is a function of BD-Video that plays the primary video and
secondary video simultaneously. For instance, the function is
capable of playing the original movie as the primary video while
playing video commentary from the film director on a small
screen as a secondary video.
