Electric Utility Service Company or Video
Products Dealer verify your home power
source.

2 POWER CORD PLUG

For safety, this unit has a polarized type plug

(one wide blade), or a three-wire grounding
type plug. Always hold the plug firmly and
make sure your hands are dry when plugging
in or unplugging the AC power cord. Regularly
remove dust, dirt, etc. on the plug.
POLARIZED PLUG CAUTION:

The plug fits into outlet only one way. If it

cannot be fully inserted, try reversing it. If it still
will not fit, have an electrician install the proper
wall outlet. Do not tamper with the plug.
GROUNDING PLUG CAUTION:

The plug requires a three-hole grounding

outlet. If necessar y, have an electrician install
the proper outlet. Do not tamper with the plug.

against electrical shock, fire or personal injury:

- Keep power cord away from heating
appliances and walking traffic. Do not rest
heavy objects on, or roll such objects over the
power cord.

- Do not tamper with the cord in any way.

- An extension cord should have the same type
plug (polarized or grounding) and must be
securely connected.

- Overloaded wall outlets or extension cords
are fire hazards.

- Frayed cords, damaged plugs, and damaged
or cracked wire insulation are hazardous and
should be replaced by a qualified electrician.

4 DO NOT BLOCK VENTILATION

dusty areas may adversely af fect internal parts.

OUTDOOR ANTENNA INSTALLATION

1 SAFE ANTENNA AND CABLE

CONNECTION

An outside antenna or cable system must be

properly grounded to provide some protection
against built up static charges and voltage.
Section 810 of the National Electrical Code,
ANSI/NFPA 70 (in Canada, part 1 of the
Canadian Electrical Code) provides information
regarding proper grounding of the mast and
supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in
wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of
grounding conductors, location of antenna
discharge unit, con nec tion to grounding
electrodes, and requirements for the grounding
electrode.

2 KEEP ANTENNA CLEAR OF HIGH

VOLTAGE POWER LINES OR
CIRCUITS

Locate an outside antenna system well away

from power lines and electric light or power
circuits so it will never touch these power
sources should it
ever fall. When
installing antenna,
absolutely never
touch power lines,
circuits or other
power sources as
this could be fatal.

For your reference:

• Dolby Digital is a digital sound compression
technique developed by the Dolby Laboratories
Licensing Corporation. Supporting 5.1-channel
surround sound, as well as stereo (2-channel)
sound, this technique enables a large quantity of
sound data to be ef ficiently recorded on a disc.

• Linear PCM is a signal recording format used in
CDs. While CDs are recorded in 44.1 kHz/16 bit,
DVDs are recorded in 48 kHz/16 bit up to
96 kHz/24 bit.

• If you have a Dolby Pro Logic Surround decoder,
you will obtain the full benefit of Pro Logic from
the same DVD movies that provide full 5.1
channel Dolby Digital soundtracks, as well as
from titles with the Dolby Surround mark. For
information on Panasonic Dolby Pro Logic
Surround Sound Decoders please contact your
local dealer.

IMPORTANT NOTE:

Caution for optical digital audio output
connector:

• When connecting an amplifier (with an optical
digital input connector) which does not contain
the Dolby Digital or dts decoder, be sure to
select “PCM” at “Dolby Digital” and “PCM” at “dts”
in the Settings for DVD Operation “Selecting
AUDIO OUTPUT” (see pages 56-57). Otherwise,
any attempt to play DVDs may cause such a high
level of noise that it may be harmful to your ears
and damage your speakers.

• Be sure to refer to pages 56-57 regarding output
settings of Dolby Digital, dts, and PCM.

• CDs can be played as usual.

Note

• Some dts decoders which do not support
DVD-dts Interface may not work properly with
the unit.

Glossary

Angle

Some DVD discs feature scenes simultaneously shot
from dif ferent angles. The ANGLE button can be used to
view the scene from different angles. (ANGLE Indicator
lights up on the unit when a scene recorded from
different angles is detected.)

Bitstream

This is the digital form of multi-channel audio data (e.g.,

5.1 channel) before it is decoded into its var ious
channels.

Chapter Number

Titles are subdivided into numbered sections. You can
quickly search for a favorite scene using these numbers.

Decoder

A decoder restores the coded audio signals on DVDs to
normal. This is called decoding.

Dolby Digital

This is a method of coding digital signals developed by
Dolby Laboratories. Apar t from stereo (2- channel) audio,
these signals can also be multichannel audio. A large
amount of audio information can be recorded on one disc
using this method.

Dolby Pro Logic

A surround system where a 4-channel audio track is
recorded as 2 channels and then is restored to 4
channels for play. The surround channel is monaural and
can reproduce up to 7 kHz.

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 ef fects 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.

DVD

A high- density optical disc on which high- qualit y pictures
and sound have been digit ally recorded. DVD
incorporates new video compression technology (MPEG
II) and high-density recording technology which allow
entire movies to be rec orded with incredible playback
quality.

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 3 0 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 t wo 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 qualit y is lower.

Linear PCM (pulse code modulation)

These are uncompressed digital signals, similar to those
found on CDs.

Regional Code

This is a copyright protection measure unique to
DVD-Video. There are 6 regional codes worldwide. In
order to play a disc encoded with a regional code, the
DVD player must be equipped with the same code.

Sampling bit number

This is the resolution shown in number of bits to
determine how faithfully the sampled analog frequency
was expressed at the time the signal is converted from
analog to digital.

Sampling Frequency

This is the number of times sampling is performed in (1)
second shown in Hz units at the time the signal is
converted from analog to digital using the PCM method.
The greater the number, the higher the sound quality.

Subtitles

Written dialogue which appears at the bottom of the
screen.

Time Number

The elapsed play time from the start of a disc or title. Use
to quickly find scenes. (M ay not work with some discs.)

Title Number

For DVD discs with two or more titles, the title is
numbered as title 1, title 2, etc.

Track Number

Numbers assigned to tracks on CDs to allow specific
tracks to be quickly located.

V.S.S. Feature

Virtual surround sound playback is possible even with
only 2 speakers. For example, using this unit’s built-in
speakers, the 2 speaker s of a connected stereo, etc., you
can enjoy a surround sound effect. If the disc was
recorded in Dolby Digital 5.1 ch, with just the two front
L/R speakers, you will feel as if you are hearing sound
from nonexistent speakers on both sides of you. This
effect also works with Dolby Digital 2- channel discs.
