Some multi-channel DVD-Audio will prevent down-mixing (l 64)
of all or part of their contents if this is the manufacturer’s
intention. Tracks that are prevented from being down-mixed will
not play properly on this unit (e.g. audio is played from the front
two channels only). Refer to the disc’s jacket for more
information.
Region numbers are allocated to DVD players and DVD-Video

become dirty, but will also make the unit malfunction.
∫ Maintenance
Cleaning the video heads

Glossary
Bitstream
MP3 (MPEG Audio Layer 3)
This is a signal compressed and converted into digital form. It is
converted back to a multi-channel audio signal, e.g., 5.1-channel, by
a decoder.
An audio compression method that compresses audio to
approximately one-tenth of its size without any considerable loss of
audio quality. You can play MP3s you have recorded onto CD-R and
CD-RW.
CPRM (Content Protection for Recordable Media)
CPRM is technology used to protect broadcasts that are allowed to
be recorded only once. Such broadcasts can be recorded only with
CPRM compatible recorders and discs.
Pan & Scan/Letterbox
In general, DVD-Video are produced with the intention that they will
be viewed on a widescreen TV (16:9 aspect ratio), so images often
don’t fit regular TVs (4:3 aspect ratio). 2 styles of picture,
“Pan & Scan” and “Letterbox”, deal with this problem.
Decoder
A decoder restores the coded audio signals on DVDs to normal. This
is called decoding.
Pan & Scan:
The sides are cut off so the picture fills the screen.
Down-mixing
This is the process of remixing the multi-channel audio found on
some discs into two channels. It is useful when you want to listen to
the 5.1-channel audio recorded on DVDs through your TV’s
speakers. Some discs prohibit down-mixing. If this is the case, this
unit can only output the front two channels.
Letterbox:
Black bands appear at the top and bottom of the
picture so the picture itself appears in an aspect ratio
of 16:9.
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 hear dialog clearly at low volume.
Playback control (PBC)
If a Video CD has playback control, you can select scenes and
information with menus displayed on the screen.
(The unit is compatible with version 2.0 and 1.1.)
Film and Video
DVD-Videos are recorded using either film or video. The unit can
determine which type has been used, then uses the most suitable
method of progressive output.
≥Film is 24 or 30 frames per second, with motion picture film
generally being 24 frames per second.
Progressive/Interlace
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.
Using progressive output, you can enjoy the high-resolution video
recorded on media such as DVD-Video.
Your TV must be compatible to enjoy progressive video.
≥Video is 60 fields per second (2 fields making up 1 frame).
Finalize
A process that makes play of a recorded CD-R, CD-RW, DVD-R, etc.
possible on equipment that can play such media. You can finalize
DVD-R, DVD-RW (DVD-Video format) and +R on the unit. After
finalizing, the disc becomes play-only and you can no longer record
or edit. However, finalized DVD-RW can be formatted to become
recordable.
Protection
You can prevent accidental erasure by setting writing protection or
erasure protection.
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.
Formatting
Formatting is the process of making media such as DVD-RAM
recordable on recording equipment.
You can format DVD-RAM and DVD-RW (only as DVD-Video format)
on the unit.
Formatting irrevocably erases all contents on the disc.
Thumbnail
This refers to a miniature representation of a picture used to display
multiple pictures in the form of a list.
Frame and field
Frame refers to the single images that constitute the video you see
on your TV. Each frame consists of 2 fields.
TIFF (Tag Image File Format)
This is a system used for compressing/decoding color still pictures, a
common format for storing high quality images on digital cameras
and other devices.
Frame
Field
Field
+
=
≥A frame still shows 2 fields, so there may be some blurring between
them, but picture quality is generally better.
≥A field still shows less picture information so it may be rougher, but
there is no blurring.
JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group)
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.

Frequently asked questions
Set up
Page
What equipment is necessary to
play multi channel surround
sound?
≥DVD-Video:
You can play DVD-Video multi channel surround by digitally connecting an amplifier
equipped with a Dolby Digital and a DTS decoder.
≥DVD-Audio:

–
This unit plays DVD-Audio in 2 channels. You cannot play multi channel surround sound.
Can the headphones and speakers ≥You cannot directly connect to the unit. Connect through the amplifier etc.
be directly connected to the unit?
15
15
The TV has both S-VIDEO IN
terminal and COMPONENT VIDEO
IN terminals. Which terminal should
I connect with?
≥We recommend the COMPONENT VIDEO IN terminal. Component signal outputs the
color difference signals (PB/PR) and luminance signal (Y) separately in order to achieve
high fidelity in reproducing colors. If the TV is compatible with progressive output, a high
quality picture can be output because the unit’s component video output terminal outputs
a progressive output signal.
Is my TV progressive output
compatible?
≥All Panasonic TVs that have 480p input terminals are compatible. Consult the
manufacturer if you have another brand of TV.
–
Disc
Page
Can I play DVD-Video, DVD-Audio
and Video CDs bought in another

≥You can play them if the video standard is NTSC.
≥However, you cannot play DVD-Video if its region number does not include “1” or “ALL”.

Can a DVD-Video that does not
have a region number be played?
≥The DVD-Video region number indicates the disc conforms to a standard. You cannot
play discs that do not have a region number.

Before requesting service, make the following checks. If you are in doubt about some of the check points, or if the remedies indicated in the
chart do not solve the problem, refer to the “Customer Services Directory” on page 73 if you reside in the U.S.A., or refer to “Product
information” on page 72 if you reside in Canada. In other areas, consult your dealer.
The following do not indicate a problem with the unit:
≥Regular disc rotating sound. The sound of the disc rotating may become louder especially when finalizing a DVD-R, DVD-RW (DVD-Video
