Glossary / Product Service
Glossary
DecoderA decoder restores the coded audio signals on DVDs to normal. This is 
called decoding.
Dolby DigitalThis is a method of coding digital signals developed by Dolby 
Laboratories. Apart from stereo (2-channel) audio, these signals can also 
be 5.1-channel sound. 
DTS (Digital Theater Systems)This surround system is used in many movie theaters around the world. 
There is good separation between the channels, so realistic sound effects 
are possible.
Dynamic rangeDynamic 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.
Frame still and field stillFrames are the still pictures that go together to make a moving picture. 
There are about 30 frames shown each second.
One frame is made up of two fields. A regular television shows these 
fields one after the other to create frames.
A still is shown when you pause a moving picture. A frame still is made up 
of two alternating fields, so the picture may appear blurred, but overall 
quality is high.
A field still is not blurred, but it has only half the information of a frame still 
so picture quality is lower.
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, 1080p) from the 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. The 
benefit of JPEG is less deterioration in picture quality considering the 
degree of compression.
Linear PCM (pulse code modulation)These are uncompressed digital signals, similar to those found on CDs. 
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.
Playback control (PBC)If a Video CD has playback control, you can select scenes and 
information with menus.
Progressive/InterlacedNTSC, 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.
Sampling frequencySampling 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.
WMA (Windows MediaTM Audio)WMA is a compression format developed by Microsoft Corporation. It 
achieves the same sound quality as MP3 with a file size that is smaller 
than that of MP3.
1. Damage requiring service— The unit should be serviced by qualified service personnel if:
(a) The AC power supply cord or AC adaptor has been damaged; or
(b) Objects or liquids have gotten into the unit; or
(c) The unit has been exposed to rain; or
(d) The unit does not operate normally or exhibits a marked change in performance; or
(e) The unit has been dropped or the cabinet damaged.
2. Servicing— Do not attempt to service the unit beyond that described in these operating instructions. Refer all other servicing to authorized servicing 
personnel.
3. Replacement parts— When parts need replacing ensure the servicer uses parts specified by the manufacturer or parts that have the same 
characteristics as the original parts. Unauthorized substitutes may result in fire, electric shock, or other hazards.
4. Safety check— After repairs or service, ask the servicer to perform safety checks to confirm that the unit is in proper working condition.
The servicer will require all components to service your system.
Therefore, should service ever be necessary, be sure to bring the entire system.
For product information or assistance with product operation:
In the U.S.A., refer to “Customer Services Directory” on page 38.
In Canada, contact the Panasonic Canada Inc. Customer Care Centre at 1-800-561-5505, or visit the website (www.panasonic.ca), or an authorized
