With PCM output, Dolby Digital EX becomes PCM audio decoded as Dolby Digital, DTS-ES recorded to DVD-Video becomes PCM audio decoded as  
DTS Digital Surround, and DTS-ES recorded to BD-Video becomes PCM audio decoded as DTS-ES.  
When “BD-Video Secondary Audio” is set to “On”, Dolby Digital EX is output as Dolby Digital and DTS-ES is output as DTS Digital Surround, however if  
playing BD-Video without secondary audio or button click sound, the audio is output as the original format.  
When BD-Video is played and “7.1ch Audio Reformatting” is set to “Off”, the audio is output as 5.1ch.

HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface)  
Glossary  
HDMI is a digital interface for consumer electronic products.  
Unlike conventional connections, it transmits uncompressed  
digital video and audio signals on a single cable.  
AVCHD  
AVCHD is a new format (standard) for high-definition video  
cameras that can be used to record and play high-resolution  
HD images.  
Local storage  
This storage area is used as a destination for sub contents  
for playing BD-Live on BD-Video.  
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.  
LPCM (Linear PCM)  
These are a kind of PCM format.  
These are uncompressed digital signals, similar to those  
found on CDs.  
Deep Color  
Deep Color is a name for the device that can reproduce  
greater color gradation (4096 steps) when connected to a  
TV that supports the Deep Color with an HDMI cable. You  
can enjoy exceptionally rich, natural-looking colors, with  
smooth, detailed gradation and minimal color banding. [A  
lower color gradation (256 steps), without Deep Color, will  
be reproduced if connected to a TV which does not support  
Deep Color. The unit will automatically set appropriate  
output to suit the connected TV.]  
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.  
Consequently, this unit is able to provide video of optimal  
resolution to the connected TV.  
Dolby Digital  
PCM (Pulse Code Modulation)  
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.  
This is one format for converting analog audio into digital  
audio, enabling you to enjoy digital audio with no hassle.  
x.v.ColorTM  
x.v.ColorTM 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.  
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.  
You can enjoy vivid colors of wider color ranges for a more  
realistic picture when connected to a TV that supports the  
x.v.ColorTM with HDMI cable.  
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.  
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.  
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.  
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 DTS96/24 formats. It is compatible with  
sampling frequency 96 kHz/48 kHz. BD-Video supports up  
to 7.1 channel output.  
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.
