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.

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.

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

The PAL video signal standard has 625 (or 576) interlaced (i) scan

lines, whereas progressive scanning, called 625p (or 576p), uses

twice the number of scan lines. For the NTSC standard, these are

called 525i (or 480i) and 525p (or 480p) 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 625 (576)/50i · 50p, 525 (480)/60i · 60p

input terminals are progressive compatible.

Protection

You can prevent accidental erasure by setting writing protection or

erasure protection.

Router

Distinguishes the IP address assigned to each device, such as the

computer, and relays the flow of data within the network.

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.

Subnet mask

Enables efficient network use. A set of numbers which identify which

part of the IP address allocated to every device connected to the

router is the network portion.

TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol)

These are the standard protocols for sending and receiving data.

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 colour still pictures.

A common format for storing high quality images on digital cameras

and other devices.

VBR (Variable bitrate)

This is a method of video recording that adjusts the bit rate

according to video signal.

Q Link

This function works only if the unit is connected via a fully wired 21-

pin Scart cable to a TV featuring the Q Link or similar function.

Q Link offers the following functions:

≥Download from the TV

When you connect the unit to a TV, the station list data is

automatically copied from the TV to the unit, and the TV stations

are assigned to the programme positions on the unit in the same

order as on the TV.

≥Direct TV Recording

By simply pressing [¥ DIRECT TV REC], you can at once record

the same programme that you are watching on the TV.

≥TV/DVD Auto On

Even if the TV and the unit are off (standby mode), pressing

[1] (PLAY), [DIRECT NAVIGATOR, TOP MENU], [VIDEO Plus+]

or [PROG/CHECK] automatically turns on both the TV and the unit.

If the TV is off (standby mode) and the unit is on, when you press

[FUNCTIONS] or [1] (PLAY), or insert the disc (except DVD-RAM

and DVD-R), the TV automatically is turned on.

≥DVD Auto Standby

When you turn the TV off, the unit is turned off as well. However,

this function works in the stop mode.

This function does not work during the following operations: Preset

Download, Auto-Setup, Auto Clock Setting and Manual Tuning.

This function does also not work when the DVD drive selected and

an audio CD is in the disc tray.

≥On-Screen Messages

When you are watching a TV programme, the following messages

appear on the TV screen to inform you of the unit’s condition:

Depending on the type of TV used, the above messages may not

appear correctly.

These operations are only available if the unit is connected to a TV

featuring the Q Link function.

PDC (Programme Delivery Control)

Programme Delivery Control adjusts the start and stop time of a timer recording automatically to ensure the recording starts and finishes in line

with the programme broadcast. This is useful when a programme over-runs the published times.

The station must be transmitting PDC and the exact time must be set for PDC to work.

The unit detects whether a station is transmitting PDC only during the tuning process.

If PDC is introduced or discontinued by a station you will need to re-tune the unit before it becomes aware of this.

PDC transmissions are not currently nation-wide so please check with your local broadcaster for more information.

The beginnings of recordings may not be recorded correctly in some cases.

Message Message appears when:

This programme has

already started

A timer recording has just started.

Set DVD to timer

standby mode

The unit is not in the timer standby mode

10 minutes before the programmed

recording start time (message appears

every minute during these 10 minutes).

DVD is in timer

recording mode

[¥ REC] or [VIDEO Plus+] was pressed

while the unit is in the timer recording

mode.
