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. 63 75VGN.book 64 ページ 2004年7月21日 水曜日 午前11時54分 Helpful Hints DVD Title/Chapter (DVD-Video) Track DVD-Video are divided into large sections (titles) and smaller sections (chapters). The numbers allocated to these sections are called title numbers and chapter numbers. This is the smallest division on CD, and Video CD. Example (1) Example (3) (1) (2) (3) (4) (5) (2) (3) (4) (5) (2) (1) 64 VHS (4) (5) (3) (4) Title 1 Title 2 Chapter 1 Chapter 2 Chapter 3 (1) (2) (3) (4) (5) Track 1 Track 2 Track 3 Track 4 Track 5 Q Link (This function is not available unless you connect TV and this unit with the 21-pin Scart cable.) This function works only if the unit is connected via a fully-wired 21pin Scart cable to a TV featuring the Q Link or similar function. Q Link offers the following functions: 1) Download from the TV° When you connect the unit to a TV, the station list data is automatically copied from the TV to the unit, and the TV stations are assigned to the programme positions on the unit in the same order as on the TV. 2) Direct TV Recording By simply pressing [¥, DIRECT TV REC], you can at once record the same programme that you are watching. 3) TV/DVD Video Recorder Auto Power On° Even if the TV and the unit are off (standby mode), pressing [1, PLAY], [TOP MENU, DIRECT NAVIGATOR], [G-Code] or [PROG/CHECK] automatically turns on both the TV and the unit. If the TV is off and the unit is on, when you press the [FUNCTIONS] or the [1, PLAY], or insert the disc (except DVD-RAM and DVD-R), the TV automatically is turned on. 4) DVD Video Recorder Auto Power Off° When you turn the TV off, the unit is also turned off. However, this function works in the stop mode. This function does not work during the following operations: Preset Download, Auto Setup, Auto Clock Setting and Manual Tuning. 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.
