≥For televisions which do not allow the aspect of progressive images
to be adjusted, please set “Progressive” to “OFF”. (l 41)
Note
≥When connected to a regular television (CRT: Cathode ray tube),
even if it is progressive compatible, progressive output can cause
some flickering. Turn off “Progressive” if this occurs (l 45).
≥Video will not be displayed correctly if connected to an incompatible
television.
≥There is no output from the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT terminals if

Audio format logos
Dolby Digital (l 44)
This unit can play Dolby Digital in stereo
(2 channels). Connect an amplifier with a
built-in Dolby Digital decoder to enjoy
surround sound.
This is a method of coding digital signals
developed by Dolby Laboratories. Not only
stereo (2 channel) audio, these signals can
also be 5.1-channel audio. A large amount of
audio information can be recorded on one
disc by this method.
DTS Digital Surround (l 44)
Connect this unit to equipment that has a
DTS decoder to enjoy DVDs with this mark.
This surround system is used in many movie
theatres around the world. The separation
between channels is good and the
compression ratio is low, so realistic sound
effects are possible.
DTS sound tracks are produced with the
assumption that all channels will be used.

Glossary
Bitstream

Linear PCM (LPCM)

This is the compressed form of digital signals. A decoder decodes
these signals into 5.1 surround and multi-channel signals.

These are uncompressed digital signals. CDs are recorded with 44.1
kHz/16 bit PCM, while DVDs use PCM between 48 kHz/16 bit and 96
kHz/24 bit, allowing playback with greater quality sound.
The linear PCM signals output from the DIGITAL AUDIO OUT,
OPTICAL terminal are stereo (2 channels).
LPCM sound is available when recording in XP mode.

CPRM (Content Protection for Recordable Media)
CPRM is the copy right protection technology that is used to protect
broadcasts that are allowed to be recorded only once (e.g. some
CATV broadcasts).

MP3 (MPEG Audio Layer 3)

Down-mixing
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.

Dynamic range
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 dialogue clearly.

An audio compression method that compresses audio to
approximately one tenth of its size without any considerable loss of
audio quality.

Pan & Scan/Letterbox
In general, DVD-Video are produced with the intention to be viewed
on a widescreen TV with an aspect ratio of 16:9.
This means you can view most of material with the intended aspect
ratio on a widescreen TV.
Material with this ratio will not fit onto a standard TV with an aspect
ratio of 4:3. 2 styles of picture, “Pan & Scan” and “Letterbox”, deal
with this problem.
Pan & Scan:
The sides are cut off so the picture fills the screen.

Film and video
DVD-Videos are recorded using either film or video. Usually, film is
recorded at 24 frames per second, the rate movies are filmed at,
while video is recorded at 30 frames per second.
Letterbox:

Finalize
This process allows DVD-R to be played on compatible equipment.

Black bands appear at the top and bottom of the
screen so the picture appears in an aspect ratio of
16:9.

Formatting
Formatting is the process of making media such as DVD-RAM
recordable on recording equipment.You can format DVD-RAM on this
unit. Formatting irrevocably erases all recordings on the disc.

Frame and field
Frames are the still pictures that go together to make a moving
picture. A frame consists of 2 fields.
Frame

Field

=

Field

+

≥A frame still consists of 2 alternating fields, so the picture may
appear blurred, but overall quality is high.
≥A field still is not blurred, but it has only half the information of a
frame still so picture quality is lower.

Interlace and progressive output

Playback control (PBC)
This is a method of playing Video CDs. You can select parts to play
by using menus recorded on the disc.

Protection
You can prevent accidental erasure by setting writing protection or
erasure protection.

Sampling frequency
The sampling frequency is the number of times per second an
analog signal is measured and converted to a digital signal. In
general, the larger the number the greater accuracy of original sound
reproduction.

VBR (Variable bitrate)
This is a method of video recording that adjusts the bit rate according
to video signal.

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.
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 television with 625 (576)/50i · 50p, 525 (480)/60i · 60p
input terminals are progressive compatible.

This function does also not work when an audio CD is in the disc
tray.

VPS/PDC (This function is not available in Australia.)
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 1 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. the day after tomorrow.

≥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 programming a programme whose start time has been
subsequently changed. Particular care must be taken in this
respect with G-CODE programming since “VPS/PDC” is
automatically set to “ON” in some countries.
≥If a programme listed in a newspaper or magazine has two G-CODE
numbers, use the G-CODE number for VPS/PDC if you wish to
proceed with VPS/PDC recording using G-CODE programming.
≥The default settings for “VPS/PDC” differ depending on the country
concerned.
≥If the broadcasting station is not transmitting VPS/PDC signals,
“jjj” appears in the menu for timer programming under “VPS/
PDC”.
≥The beginnings of recordings may not be recorded correctly in
some cases.

° The operations marked with asterisk are only available if the unit is
connected to a TV featuring the Q Link function.
Note
≥If “Power Save” is set to “On” (l 43), the Q Link functions do not
work when the unit is switched off (standby mode).
