Defi nition of important terms - DVD

Angle

Recorded onto some DVD discs are scenes, which have
been simultaneously shot from a number of different
angles (the same scene is shot from the front, from
the left side, from the right side, etc.) . With such discs,
the ANGLE button can be used to view the scene from
different angles.

Chapter Number

These numbers are recorded on DVD discs. A title
is subdivided into many sections, each of which are
numbered, and specifi c parts of video presentations
can be searched quickly using these numbers.

DVD disc

This refers to a high-density optical disc on which
high-quality pictures and sound have been recorded
by means of digital signals. Incorporating a new video
compression technology (MPEG II) and high-density
recording technology. DVD discs enables aesthetically
pleasing full-motion video to be recorded over long
periods of time (for instance, a whole movie can be
recorded). DVD discs have a structure consisting of
two 0.6mm thin discs, which are adhered to each other.
Since the thinner the disc, the higher the density at
which the information can be recorded, a DVD disc has
a greater capacity than a single 1.2mm thick disc. Since
the two thin discs are adhered to each other, there is
the potential to achieve double-sided play sometime in
the future for even longer duration play.

Subtitles

These are lines of text appearing at the bottom of the
screen, which translate or transcribe the dialogue. They
are recorded on the DVD discs.

Time Number

This indicates the playtime, which has elapsed from the
start of a disc or a title. It can be used to fi nd a specifi c
scene quickly. (Not all discs permit the time search
feature to be used. Availability is determined by the
disc’s manufacturer.)

Title Number

These numbers are recorded on DVD discs. When a
disc contains two or more movies, these movies are
numbered as title 1, title 2, etc.

Track Number

These numbers are assigned to the tracks, which are
recorded on Audio CDs. They enable specifi c tracks to
be located quickly.

Dolby Digital

Many movie theatres are equipped with 5.1 channel
surround systems. This same type of technology is
available to you in your home. To enjoy full 5.1-channel
surround, your DVD player must be connected to an
external Dolby Digital decoder via the digital outputs
(either coaxial or optical).

Dolby Pro Logic

This is Dolby Laboratories’ technology to decode Dolby
Surround encoded programs actively. Dolby Surround
programs have four channels of audio (Left, Centre,
Right and Surround) encoded into a standard 2-channel
stereo signal. The rear channel is monaural.

LPCM

LPCM stands for Linear Pulse Code Modulation and
is digital audio.

MPEG

Short for Moving Picture Experts Group. This is an
international standard for compression of moving
images. On some DVDs digital audio has been
compressed and recorded in this format.

Software Upgrade

Your TV is capable of fi nding and updating new software
upgrades over broadcast channels.

For broadcast channels search, TV looks the available
channels stored in your settings. So before software
upgrade search, it is advised to auto search and update
all available channels.

1) Software upgrade search via user interface

It is possible manually to check if there is a new software
upgrade for your TV set.

Simply navigate on your main menu. Choose Settings
and select Other Settings menu. In Other Settings menu
navigate on to the Software Upgrade item and press
OK button to open Upgrade Options menu.

In Upgrade Options menu select Scan for upgrade and
press OK button.

If a new upgrade is found, it starts to download the
upgrade. A progress bar indicates the remaining
download progress. When download completes with
success a message is displayed for reboot to activate
new software. Press OK to continue with the reboot
operation.

2) 3.AM search and upgrade mode

If Automatic scanning in Upgrade Options menu is
enabled, TV wakes up at 03:00 and searches broadcast
channels for new software upgrade. If new software is
found and downloaded successfully, with next power
up TV opens with new software version.

Note on reboot operation: Reboot is the last step in
software upgrade operation if download of new software
is fi nished successfully. During reboot TV makes fi nal
initializations. In reboot sequence panel power is closed
and front led indicates the activity with blinking. Around 5
minutes later TV restarts with new software activated.

If your TV fails to restart in 10 minutes, unplug power
for 10 minutes and re-plug again. TV should open with
new software safely. If you still can not get TV working,
please kindly repeat unplug and plug sequence a few
times more. If your set still can not operate, please call
the service personnel to fi x the problem for you.

CAUTION: While led is blinking during reboot do
not unplug your TV’s power. Doing this may cause
your TV not to re-open again and can only be fi xed by
service personnel.

NOTE: A software update is dependent on whether
the TV stations of each country support it.
