the manufacturer’s instructions.
8) Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat
registers, stoves, or other apparatus (including amplifiers) that
produce heat.
9) Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or groundingtype plug. A polarized plug has two blades with one wider than

Listening caution

Selecting fine audio equipment such as the unit you’ve just purchased is only the start of your musical enjoyment. Now it’s time to consider
how you can maximize the fun and excitement your equipment offers. This manufacturer and the Electronic Industries Association’s
Consumer Electronics Group want you to get the most out of your equipment by playing it at a safe level. One that lets the sound come
through loud and clear without annoying blaring or distortion—and, most importantly, without affecting your sensitive hearing.

Before

We recommend that you avoid prolonged exposure to excessive noise.
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.
To establish a safe level:
¡ Start your volume control at a low setting.
¡ Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it comfortably and clearly, and without distortion.

Taking a minute to do this now will help to prevent hearing damage or loss in the future. After all, we want you listening for a lifetime.

Before

Before

Once you have established a comfortable sound level:
¡ Set the dial and leave it there.

Simple setup

7 Connecting a television with a VIDEO IN terminal

Connect directly to your television.
Do not connect the unit through a video cassette recorder, because
the picture may not be played correctly due to the copy guard.

7 Connecting a television with an S-VIDEO IN terminal

S-VIDEO
IN

PB

S-VIDEO OUT terminal
The S-VIDEO OUT terminal achieves a more vivid picture than the
VIDEO OUT terminal by separating the chrominance (C) and
luminance (Y) signals. (Actual results depend on the television.)

COMPONENT VIDEO OUT terminals
These terminals can be used for either interlace or progressive
output and provide a purer picture than the S-VIDEO OUT
terminal. Connection using these terminals outputs the color
difference signals (PB/PR) and luminance signal (Y) separately in
order to achieve high fidelity in reproducing colors.
¡ The description of the component video input terminals
depends on the television or monitor (e.g. Y/PB/PR, Y/B-Y/R-Y,
Y/CB/CR). Connect to terminals of the same color.
¡ After making this connection, change the black level for a better
picture (A page 28, Video – Black Level Control).
To enjoy progressive video
¡ Connect to the component video (480P) input terminals on a
television compatible with this unit’s copy guard system.
(Video will not be displayed correctly if connected to an
incompatible television.)
¡ Press [PROGRESSIVE] on the main unit so “PROG.” appears
on the display (A page 12).
¡ All televisions manufactured by Panasonic and that have
480P input connectors are compatible. Consult the
manufacturer if you have another brand of television.

These speakers are designed to be used close to a television,
but the picture may be affected with some televisions and setup
combinations.
If this occurs, turn the television off for about 30 minutes.

Glossary
Decoder

WMA, MP3, JPEG and CD text information

A decoder restores the coded audio signals on DVDs to normal. This
is called decoding.

¡ Discs must conform to ISO9660 level 1 or 2 (except for extended
formats).
¡ This unit is compatible with multi-session but if there are a lot of
sessions it takes more time for play to start. Keep the number of
sessions to a minimum to avoid this.
¡ The order in which tracks appear in the menus may differ from the
order shown on your computer.

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

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.

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.

Frame still and field still
Frames are the still pictures that go together to make a moving
picture. There are about 30 frames shown each second.
One frame is made up of two fields. A regular television shows these
fields one after the other to create frames.
A still is shown when you pause a moving picture. A frame still is
made up of two 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.

¡ Noise may occur when playing WMA files.
¡ You cannot play WMA files that are copy protected.
¡ This unit is not compatible with ID3 tags.
¡ Compatible sampling rate: 8, 11.02, 12, 16, 22.05, 24, 32, 44.1 and
48 kHz.
¡ If you play an MP3 track that includes still picture data, it will take
some time before the music itself starts playing and the elapsed
time will not be displayed during this time. Even after the track
starts, the correct play time will not be displayed.
¡ To view JPEG files on this unit:
— Take them on a digital camera that meets DCF Standard (Design
rule for Camera File System) Version 1.0. Some digital cameras
have functions that are not supported by DCF Standard Version
1.0 like automatic picture rotation which may render a picture
unviewable.
— Do not alter the files in any way or save them under a different
name.
¡ This unit cannot display moving pictures, MOTION JPEG and other
such formats, still pictures other than JPEG (i.e. TIFF) or play
associated sound.

Interlace and progressive output
NTSC, the video signal standard, has 480 interlaced (I) scan lines,
whereas progressive scanning uses twice the number of scan lines.
This is called 480P. The video signals output from this unit’s
COMPONENT VIDEO OUT terminals (Y, PB, PR) allow you to enjoy
higher quality pictures than if the signals were output from the VIDEO
OUT terminal or S-VIDEO OUT terminal.

I/P/B
MPEG 2, the video compression standard adopted for use with DVDVideo, codes frames using these 3 picture types.
I: Intra coded picture
This picture has the best quality and is the best to use when
adjusting the picture.
P: Predictive coded picture
This picture is calculated based on past I or P-pictures.
B: Bidirectionally-predictive coded picture
This picture is calculated by comparing past and future I and Ppictures so it has the lowest volume of information.

Linear PCM (pulse code modulation)
These are uncompressed digital signals, similar to those found on
CDs.

Playback control (PBC)

10HBI

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.
