Glossary
Decoder
A  decoder  restores  the  coded  audio  signals  on  DVDs  to  normal.  This  is 
called decoding.
Dolby Digital
T h i s   i s   a   m e t h o d   o f   c o d i n g   d i g i t a l   s i g n a l s   d e v e l o p e d   b y   D o l b y 
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.
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 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.
Film and video
DVD-Videos  are  recorded  using  either  film  or  video.  Usually,  film  is 
recorded  at  24  frames  per  second,  the  rate  movies  are  filmed  at,  while 
video is recorded at 30 frames per second.
Frame still and field still
Frames 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.
Interlace and progressive output
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.  The  video  signals  output  from  this  unit’s  COMPONENT 
VIDEO  OUT  terminals  (Y,  P
B,  PR)  allow  you  to  enjoy  higher  quality 
pictures than if the signals were output from the VIDEO OUT terminal or 
S-VIDEO OUT terminal.
I/P/B
MPEG  2,  the  video  compression  standard  adapted  for  use  with  DVD-
Video, codes frames using these 3 picture types.I:  Intra coded picture
  This picture has the best quality and is the best to use when adjusting 
the picture.P:  Predictive coded picture
  This picture is calculated based on past I or P-pictures.
B:  Bidirectionally-predictive coded picture
  This picture is calculated by comparing past and future I and 
P-pictures so it has the lowest volume of information.
Linear PCM (pulse code modulation)These are uncompressed digital signals, similar to those found on CDs.
Playback control (PBC)

Sound
No sound.Distorted sound.•  Check the connections. (6)
•  Turn the volume up.
•  Turn muting off. (27)
•  Turn Advanced surround off if it causes distortion. (26)
•  Switch off the unit, determine and correct the causes, then switch the unit on.
  Causes include:
–  Shorting (bare wires touching) of positive and negative speaker wires.
–  Using speakers with an impedance lower than that rated for this unit.
–  Straining of the speakers through excessive volume or power.
–  Using the unit in a hot environment without proper ventilation.
Piercing noise comes from the speakers. •  If you have connected this unit to other equipment through the OPTICAL OUT terminal, ensure you have 
selected  the  correct  settings  for  “Dolby  Digital”  and  “DTS  Digital  Surround”  in  the  Setup  menus’  “Audio” tab. (22)
Picture
Picture distorted. •  Some distortion is normal during search.
No picture.•  Check the connection.
•  Make sure the television is on.
•  Ensure the television’s video input setting (e.g., VIDEO 1) is correct.
The picture shown on the television is not normal.(The sides of the picture are cut off, the picture is stretched horizontally, or black bands appear at the top and bottom of the screen.)•  Go to “Video” tab in the Setup menus, and change “TV Aspect” to suit your television. (21)
•  Use the television to change the aspect to the correct one.
 
If  your  television  cannot  change  the  aspect  when  input  is  progressive ,  try  changing  4:3  Aspect  in Display Menu. (19)
•  Ensure that the unit is connected directly to the television, and is not connected through a video cassette 
recorder.
•  Change the size with the zoom function. (19)
•  Connect  to  the  component  video  (480P)  input  terminals  on  a  television  compatible  with  this  unit’s  copy 
guard system. You cannot view progressive video if your television is not compatible. (7)
•  The  images  on  PAL  system  DVD-Audio  are  compressed  for  display.  They  may  also  appear  vertically 
stretched.There is ghosting when progressive output is on. •  Change “Video Output Mode” to “480I” so “PROG.” on the display goes out. This problem is caused by the editing method or material used on DVD-Video, but should be corrected if you use interlace output. (19)
Picture quality is poor.
•  Check the settings in Picture Menu. (19)
The picture on the television disappears or stripes appear on the screen.•  Mobile telephone chargers can cause some disturbance.
•  The location and orientation of the antenna are incorrect. If you are using an indoor antenna, change to an outdoor antenna.
•  The  television  antenna  wire  is  too  close  to  the  unit.  Separate  the  antenna  wire  of  the  television  from  the

Listening caution
Selecting  fine  audio  equipment  such  as  the  unit  you've  just 
purchased  is  only  the  start  of  your  musical  enjoyment.  Now 
it's  time  to  consider  how  you  can  maximize  the  fun  and 
excitement  your  equipment  offers.  This  manufacturer  and 
the  Electronic  Industries  Association's  Consumer  Electronics 
Group  want  you  to  get  the  most  out  of  your  equipment  by 
playing it at a safe level. One that lets the sound come through 
loud and clear without annoying blaring or distortion-and, most 
importantly, without affecting your sensitive hearing. 
W e   r e c o m m e n d   t h a t   y o u   a v o i d   p r o l o n g e d   e x p o s u r e   t o 
excessive noise. 
Sound  can  be  deceiving.  Over  time  your  hearing  “comfort 
level”  adapts  to  higher  volumes  of  sound.  So  what  sounds 
“normal” can actually be loud and harmful to your hearing. 
Guard  against  this  by  setting  your  equipment  at  a  safe  level 
BEFORE your hearing adapts. To establish a safe level: • Start your volume control at a low setting. • Slowly  increase  the  sound  until  you  can  hear  it  comfortably and clearly, and without distortion. 
Once you have established a comfortable sound level: • Set the dial and leave it there. 
Taking  a  minute  to  do  this  now  will  help  to  prevent  hearing 
damage  or  loss  in  the  future.  After  all,  we  want  you  listening 
for a lifetime.
