– When outputting 1080p signal, we recommend using High Speed HDMI Cables
that have the HDMI logo (as shown on the cover) and are less than 5.0 meters to
prevent video distortion etc.
– When the unit is connected to an amplifier/receiver that does not support the
resolution set on the unit, the video cannot be output properly. In this case, use
the HDMI cable to connect the unit to the TV and then connect the unit to the
amplifier/receiver using a cable other than HDMI.
– To enjoy high definition video up-converted to 1080p, you need to connect the unit directly
to 1080p compatible HDTV (High Definition Television). If this unit is connected to an
HDTV through other equipment, it must also be 1080p compatible.

The unit will automatically set appropriate output to suit the connected TV.]
Hub
Used for connecting more than one device to the network.
IP address
DivX [BD80]
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)
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.
DNS Server
JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group)
A server which acts like a telephone directory and translates Internet
domain names into IP addresses.
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.
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.
LAN (Local Area Network)
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.
A group of linked devices in a company, school or home.
Indicates the boundaries of a particular network.
Local storage
Dolby TrueHD
This storage area is used as a destination for sub contents for
playing BD-Live on BD-Video.
Dolby TrueHD is a very high quality audio format that reproduces the
studio master audio. BD-Video supports up to 7.1 channel output.
LPCM (Linear PCM)
Down-mixing
These are a kind of PCM format.
This is the process of remixing the multi-channel audio found on
some discs into fewer channels.
These are uncompressed digital signals, similar to those found on CDs.
MPEG2 (Moving Picture Experts Group)
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.
A standard for efficiently compressing and expanding colour video.
MPEG2 is a compression standard used for DVD and satellite based
digital broadcasting.
DTS-HD
MP3 (MPEG Audio Layer 3)
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.
An audio compression method that compresses audio to approximately
one tenth of its size without any significant loss of audio quality.
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.
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.
Consequently, this unit is able to provide video of optimal resolution
to the connected TV.
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.
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.
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.
Pan&Scan:The sides are cut off so the picture fills
the screen.
Letterbox: Black bands appear at the top and
bottom of the picture so the picture itself
appears in an aspect ratio of 16:9.
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.
PCM (Pulse Code Modulation)
This is one format for converting analog audio into digital audio,
enabling you to enjoy digital audio with no hassle.
Film:
Recorded at 25 frames per second (PAL discs) or 24
frames per second (NTSC discs). (NTSC discs recorded
at 30 frames per second as well.)
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.
Generally appropriate for motion picture films.
Recorded at 25 frames/50 fields per second (PAL discs) or
30 frames/60 fields per second (NTSC discs). Generally
appropriate for TV drama programs or animation.

Progressive/Interlace
VIERA CAST
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 televisions with 625 (576)/50i · 50p, 525 (480)/60i · 60p
input terminals are progressive compatible.
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.ColourTM
x.v.ColourTM is a name for devices that are compatible with the
xvYCC format, an international standard for expanded colour in
motion pictures, and that follow the rules for signal transmission.
You can enjoy vivid colours of wider colour ranges for a more
realistic picture when connected to a TV that supports the
x.v.ColourTM with HDMI cable.
Router
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.
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.
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.
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.
24p
This is a progressive image recorded at a rate of 24 frames per second.
720p (750p)
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.
USB (Universal Serial Bus)
An interface specification to connect peripherals. Playback of MP3,
JPEG, or DivX ([BD80]) recorded to a USB memory by PC or other
equipment, or JPEG in the Panasonic digital camera or similar
connected via USB connection cable is possible with this unit.
