MPEG2 (Moving Picture Experts Group)
A standard for efficiently compressing and expanding color 
video.
MPEG2 is a compression standard used for DVD and satellite 
based digital broadcasting.
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.
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.
Pan&Scan/Letterbox
In general, DVD-Video are produced wi th 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.
PCM (Pulse Code Modulation)
This is one format for converting analog audio into digital audio, 
enabling you to enjoy digital audio with no hassle.
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.
Progressive/Interlace
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.
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
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
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. 
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/sec
ond in accordance with the film 
materials.
720p
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.
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.
