Batteries
1 Battery pack (Lithium ion battery pack)
≥ Use the specified unit to recharge the battery pack.
≥ Do not use the battery pack with equipment other than the
specified unit.
≥ Do not use the player outside if it is snowing or raining. (The
battery pack is not waterproof.)
THE FOLLOWING APPLIES IN THE U.S.A. AND CANADA.
This device complies with Part 15 of FCC Rules and RSS-Gen of IC
Rules.
Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
(1) This device may not cause interference, and (2) this device must
accept any interference, including interference that may cause
undesired operation of this device.
≥ Do not get dirt, sand, liquids, or other foreign matter on the
terminals.
≥ Do not touch the plug terminals (i and j) with metal objects.
≥ Do not disassemble, remodel, heat or throw into fire.
≥ Do not heat or expose to flame.
This transmitter must not be co-located or operated in conjunction with
any other antenna or transmitter.
≥
Do not leave the battery(ies) in an automobile exposed to direct
sunlight for a long period of time with doors and windows closed.
This product is restricted to indoor use due to its operation in the 5.15
to 5.25 GHz frequency range.
2 Batteries (Alkaline or manganese batteries)
Mishandling of batteries can cause electrolyte leakage which can
damage items the fluid contacts and may cause a fire.
≥ Do not mix old and new batteries or different types at the same
time.
FCC and IC require this product to be used indoors for the frequency
range 5.15 to 5.25 GHz to reduce the potential for harmful interference
to co-channel Mobile Satellite systems. High power radars are
allocated as primary users of the 5.25 to 5.35 GHz and 5.65 to 5.85
GHz bands. These radar stations can cause interference with and/or
damage this product.
≥ Do not heat or expose to flame.
≥
Do not leave the battery(ies) in an automobile exposed to direct
sunlight for a long period of time with doors and windows closed.
The available scientific evidence does not show that any health
problems are associated with using low power wireless devices.
There is no proof, however, that these low power wireless devices are
absolutely safe.
Low power Wireless devices emit low levels of radio frequency energy
(RF) in the microwave range while being used.
Whereas high levels of RF can produce health effects (by heating
tissue), exposure to low-level RF that does not produce heating effects
causes no known adverse health effects.
Many studies of low-level RF exposures have not found any biological
effects. Some studies have suggested that some biological effects
might occur, but such findings have not been confirmed by additional
research.
≥ Do not take apart or short circuit.
≥ Do not attempt to recharge alkaline or manganese batteries.
≥ Do not use batteries if the covering has been peeled off.
Remove batteries if the remote control is not going to be used for a
long period of time. Store in a cool, dark place.
If any electrolyte should come into contact with your hands or clothes,
wash it off thoroughly with water.
If any electrolyte should come into contact with your eyes, never rub
the eyes.
Rinse eyes thoroughly with water, and then consult a doctor.
3 Disposing of the batteries
Check and follow your local regulations before disposal.
Wireless LAN adaptor (DY-WL10) has been tested and found to

Do not play your headphones or earphones at a high volume. Hearing
experts advise against continuous extended play.
If you experience a ringing in your ears, reduce volume or discontinue
use.
Do not use while operating a motorized vehicle. It may create a traffic
hazard and is illegal in many areas.
You should use extreme caution or temporarily discontinue use in
potentially hazardous situations.

Changing the unit’s settings .................................36
Even if your headphones or earphones are the open-air type designed
to let you hear outside sounds, don’t turn up the volume so high that
you can’t hear what’s around you.
Reference
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 Master Audio
Glossary
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.
AVCHD
AVCHD is a new format (standard) for high definition video
cameras that can be used to record and play high-resolution
HD images.
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 dialog clearly.
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.
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.
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.
Bitstream
This is the digital form of multi-channel audio data (e.g.,
5.1 channel) before it is decoded into its various channels.
Film: Recorded at 24 frames per second. (Recorded at 30

together. Additional folders can be created within folders, and
you can make detailed classifications depending on the folder
structure. (> 43)
DNS Server
A server which acts like a telephone directory and translates
Internet domain names into IP addresses.
Frames and fields
Frames refer to the single images that constitute the video you
see on your television. Each frame consists of two fields.
Dolby Digital
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.
r
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.
Frame
Field
Field
≥ 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.
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.
HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface)
Down-mixing
HDMI is a digital interface for consumer electronic products.
Unlike conventional connections, it transmits uncompressed
digital video and audio signals on a single cable.
This is the process of remixing the multi-channel audio found
on some discs into fewer channels.
DTS (Digital Theater Systems)
Hub
This surround system is used in many movie theaters. There is
good separation between the channels, so realistic sound
effects are possible.
Used for connecting more than one device to the network.
IP address
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)
DTS-HD
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.
DTS-HD High Resolution Audio
This is a signal format achieved by improving the previous
DTS, DTS-ES and DTS 96/24 formats. It is compatible with
sampling frequency 96 kHz/48 kHz. BD-Video supports up to
7.1 channel output.

JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group)
Progressive/Interlace
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.
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
LAN (Local Area Network)
A group of linked devices in a company, school or home.
Indicates the boundaries of a particular network.
Distinguishes the IP address assigned to each device, such as
the PC, and relays the flow of data within the network.
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.
Local storage
This storage area is used as a destination for sub contents for
playing BD-Live on BD-Video.
LPCM (Linear PCM)
This is a type of PCM format.
These are uncompressed digital signals, similar to those found
on CDs.
USB (Universal Serial Bus)
An interface specification to connect peripherals. Playback of
MP3, JPEG or DivX recorded to a USB device by PC or other
equipment, or JPEG in the Panasonic digital camera or similar
connected via USB connection cable is possible with this unit.
MPEG2 (Moving Picture Experts Group)
A standard for efficiently compressing and expanding color
video.
VIERA CAST™
MPEG2 is a compression standard used for DVD and satellite
based digital broadcasting.
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.
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.
x.v.Color™
x.v.Color™ 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.Color™ with HDMI cable.
P4HD (Pixel Precision Progressive Processing for HD)
This is a processor which makes use of an exclusive
Panasonic algorithm. Various processing is supported,
including a high-level conversion of the TV scanning format
from interlace to progressive and a high-level conversion of
standard resolution (480i or 576i) video signal to a 1080 High
Definition video signal.
1080i
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.
Consequently, this unit is able to provide video of optimal
resolution to the connected TV.
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
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.
24p
This is a progressive image recorded at a rate of 24 frames per
second (motion-picture film). Many BD-Video movie contents
are recorded in 24 frames/second in accordance with the film
materials.
Letterbox: Black bands appear at the top
and bottom of the picture so the
picture itself appears in an
aspect ratio of 16:9.
720p
PCM (Pulse Code Modulation)
This is one format for converting analog audio into digital audio,
enabling you to enjoy digital audio with no hassle.
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.
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.
