Glossary
Bitstream
This is the digital form of multi-channel audio data (e.g., 5.1 channel) 
before it is decoded into its various channels.
CPPM (Content Protection for Prerecorded Media)
A copy protection system used for DVD-Audio files. This unit 
supports CPPM.
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.
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. A large amount of audio information can 
be recorded on one disc using this method.
Down-mixing
This is the process of remixing the multi-channel audio found on 
some discs into two channels for stereo output. It is useful when you 
want to listen to the 5.1-channel audio recorded on DVDs through 
your television’s speakers. Some discs prohibit down-mixing and this 
unit can then only output the front two channels.
 Tracks that do not allow down-mixing will not play correctly on 
this unit except when connecting with an HDMI cable to an amplifier 
that meets HDMI Ver. 1.1 standards and is CPPM compatible.
DPOF (Digital Print Order Format)
DPOF is the standard printing format for still picture data taken by a 
digital camera, etc. It is used for automatic printing at a photo 
developing store or on your home printer.
Drive
In the instance of this unit, this refers to the disc (DVD) and SD card 
(SD). These perform the reading and writing of data.
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.
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. 
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.
Film:
Recorded at 24 or 30 frames per second. Generally appropriate for 
motion picture films.
Video:
Recorded at 30 frames/60 fields per second. Generally appropriate 
for TV drama programs or animation.
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 or +R DL on 
this 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.
Folder
This is a place on the disc or memory card where groups of data are 
stored together. In the case of this unit, it refers to the place where 
still pictures (JPEG, TIFF) are stored.
Formatting
Formatting is the process of making media such as DVD-RAM 
recordable on recording equipment. 
You can format DVD-RAM, DVD-RW (only as DVD-Video format), 
+R, +R DL, +RW and SD memory card on this unit.
When you use a new DVD-RW, +R, +R DL or +RW, it must be 
formatted.
Formatting irrevocably deletes all contents.
Frames and fields 
Frames refer to the single images that constitute the video you see 
on your television. Each frame consists of two fields.
• A frame still shows two fields, so there may be some blurring, but 
picture quality is generally better. 
• A field still shows less picture information so it may be rougher, but 
there is no blurring.HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface)
HDMI is a next-generation digital interface for consumer electronic 
products. Unlike conventional connections, it transmits 
uncompressed digital video and audio signals on a single cable. This 
unit supports high-definition video output (720p,1080i) from HDMI 
AV OUT terminal. To enjoy high-definition video a high-definition 
compatible television is required.
JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group)
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 
feature of JPEG is less deterioration in picture quality considering 
the degree of compression.
MP3 (MPEG Audio Layer 3)
An audio compression method that compresses audio to 
approximately one tenth of its size without any considerable loss of 
audio quality. You can play MP3 you have recorded onto CD-R and 
CD-RW.
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. 
Playback control (PBC) 
If a Video CD has playback control, you can select scenes and 
information with menus.
(This unit is compatible with version 2.0 and 1.1.)
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 television must be 
compatible to enjoy progressive video. 
Protection
You can prevent accidental deletion by setting writing protection or 
deletion 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. 
Thumbnail
This refers to a miniature representation of a picture used to display 
multiple pictures in the form of a list.
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.
1080i
In one high definition image, 1080 alternating scan lines pass every 
1/60
th of a second to create an interlace image. Because 1080i more 
than doubles current television broadcasts of 480i, the detail is much 
clearer and creates a more realistic and rich image.
720p
In one high definition image, 720 scan lines pass at the same time 
every 1/60
th of a second to create a progressive image. Since 
progressive video does not alternate scan lines like interlace, there 
is a minimal amount of screen flicker.
DVD-A
=     +
Fra me Fi eld F iel dPan & 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.

Instalación básica
• Visite la página inicial de Panasonic para obtener más información acerca de los métodos de conexión. (Sólo está en inglés.)
http://www.panasonic.com/consumer_electronics/dvd_recorder/dvd_connection.asp
• Antes de hacer la conexión, apague todos los equipos y lea los manuales de instrucciones apropiados.
• El equipo periférico y los cables opcionales se venden por separado a menos que se indique lo contrario.
nTerminal RF OUT de la unidad
La señal de imagen y sonido de esta unidad no pasa por el 
terminal RF OUT hasta el televisor.
Asegúrese de conectar al televisor uno de estos terminales 
de la unidad: el terminal AUDIO/VIDEO OUT, el terminal S 
VIDEO OUT o el terminal COMPONENT VIDEO OUT.
nCuando la unidad no vaya a utilizarse durante 
mucho tiempo
Para ahorrar energía, desenchufe la unidad de la toma de corriente 
CA. Esta unidad consume una pequeña cantidad de energía 
aunque se encuentre apagada (aproximadamente 2,1 W
).
nConecte la unidad directamente al televisor
Las señales de vídeo enviadas a través de videograbadoras 
se verán afectadas por los sistemas de protección del 
copyright, y las imágenes no se mostrarán correctamente en 
el televisor.
Esta conexión permitirá utilizar la videograbadora para reproducir y grabar cuando la unidad esté apagada.
