Note about using a DualDisc
The digital audio content side of a DualDisc does not meet the technical specifications of the Compact Disc Digital Audio (CD-DA) format so play may not
be possible.
Regarding DVD-Audio
Some multi-channel DVD-Audio will prevent down-mixing (l 62) 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.

Dolby Digital (l 58)
This is a method of coding digital signals developed by
Dolby Laboratories. Not only stereo (2 channel) audio,
these signals can also be multi-channel audio. A large
amount of audio information can be recorded on one
disc by this method.
Use a DVD-R, DVD-R DL or DVD-RW to record in DVD-Video
format.

This is a method for recording moving pictures to +R/+RW discs. You
can play back discs recorded in this method in a similar way as
contents recorded in the DVD-Video format.
≥Digital broadcasts that allow “One time only recording” cannot be
recorded.
DTS Digital Surround (l 58)
This surround system is used in many movie theatres
around the world. The separation between channels is
good and the compression ratio is low, so realistic
sound effects are possible.

Reference
Glossary
Bitstream
Frame and field
A Frame is a single image on the TV. Each frame consists of 2 fields.
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.
Frame
Field
Field
Component video output
Component signal outputs the colour difference signals (PB/PR) and
luminance signal (Y) separately in order to achieve high fidelity in
reproducing colours. If the television is compatible with progressive output,
a high quality picture can be output because this unit’s component video
output terminal outputs a progressive output signal.
+
=
≥A still frame shows 2 fields, so there may be some blurring between
them, but picture quality is generally better.
≥A still field shows less picture information so it may be rougher, but there
is no blurring.
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.
JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group)
Decoder
This is a system used for compressing/decoding colour 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.
A decoder restores the coded audio signals on DVDs to the state they
were before being encoded.
DivX
MP3 (MPEG Audio Layer 3)
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.
A method that compresses audio to approximately a tenth of its size
without any considerable loss to audio quality. You can play MP3s that you
have recorded onto CD-R and CD-RW.
Dolby Digital
Pan & Scan/Letterbox
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.
In general, DVD-Videos are produced with the intention that they will be
viewed on a widescreen TV (16:9 aspect ratio), so images often do not fit
regular TVs (4:3 aspect ratio). 2 styles of picture, “Pan & Scan” and
“Letterbox”, deal with this problem.
Down-mixing
Pan & Scan:
The sides are cut off so the picture fills the screen.
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.
DTS (Digital Theater System)
This surround system is used in many movie theaters. 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. Dynamic range compression means
reducing the gap between the loudest and softest sounds. This means you
can hear the dialogue 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.)
Progressive/Interlace
Film and Video
The PAL video signal standard has 576 (or 625) interlaced (i) scan lines,
whereas progressive scanning, called 576p (or 625p), uses twice the
number of scan lines. For the NTSC standard, these are called 480i (or
525i) and 480p (or 525p) 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 576 (625)/50i · 50p, 480 (525)/60i · 60p input
terminals are progressive compatible.
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.
For PAL
≥Film is 25 frames per second.
≥Video is 50 fields per second (2 fields making up 1 frame).
For NTSC
≥Film is 24 or 30 frames per second, with motion picture film generally
being 24 frames per second.
Protection
≥Video is 60 fields per second (2 fields making up 1 frame).
You can prevent accidental erasure by setting write-protection or erasure
protection.
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-R DL, DVD-RW (DVD-Video format), +R and +R DL 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.
Sampling frequency
Sampling is the process of converting the heights of sound wave
(analogue 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
Thumbnail
on recording equipment.
You can format DVD-RAM, DVD-RW (only as DVD-Video format), +R,
+R DL and +RW on the unit.
This refers to a miniature representation of a picture used to display
multiple pictures in the form of a list.
Formatting irrevocably deletes all contents on the disc.
TIFF (Tag Image File Format)
This is a still picture data standard. A common format for storing high
quality images on digital cameras and other devices.
