Positioning

Wireless system*

≥Place the wireless system within

approximately 15 m from the main unit, and in a horizontal position with the top panel faced upward.

≥To allow for proper ventilation and to

maintain good airflow around the wireless system, position it with at least 5 cm of space on all sides.

To avoid interference, maintain the following distances between the wireless system and other electronic devices that use the same radio frequency (2.4 GHz band).

The wireless system will automatically seek a clear channel if any of these other devices interfere with its communication. When this happens, the wireless link indicator (“ [W1] ”) flashes on the main unit, and there is a brief interruption in audio coming from the surround speakers.

This is the normal operation of the product working to assure the best possible performance of your home theater system.

If the interference persists, try moving the other devices to another location outside the range of the wireless system or move the wireless system nearer to the main unit.

Wireless LAN: approx. 2 m

Cordless phone and other electronic devices: approx. 2 m

Wireless system

* Do not use the wireless system or

the digital transmitter in a metal cabinet or bookshelf.

How you set up your speakers can affect the bass and the sound field.

≥This system is a 5.1ch sound system. ≥Place speakers on flat secure bases. ≥Placing speakers too close to floors, walls, and corners can result in excessive bass. Cover walls and windows with thick curtains.

NOTE

≥For optional wall mount, refer to page 43.

Getting started

Setup example

Place the front, center, surround speakers at approximately the same distance from the seating position. Using “SMART SETUP” (>15) is a convenient way to get the ideal surround sound from your speakers when you are unable to place them. The angles in the diagram are approximate.

≥Keep your speakers at least 10 mm away from the system for proper ventilation.

Center speaker

Put on a rack or shelf. Vibration caused by the speaker can disrupt the picture if it is placed directly on the TV.

Main unit

To allow for proper ventilation and to maintain good airflow around the main unit, position it with at least 5 cm of space on all sides.

Front speakers

Subwoofer

45º to 60º

Place to the right or left of the TV, on the floor or a sturdy shelf so that it will not cause vibration. Leave about 30 cm from the TV.

Surround speakers

Position the speakers as illustrated and place them at the same height or higher than ear level.

NOTE

≥Use only supplied speakers

Using other speakers can damage the unit, and sound

quality will be negatively affected.

≥You can damage your speakers and shorten their useful

life if you play sound at high levels over extended periods.

≥Reduce the volume in the following cases to avoid

damage: – When playing distorted sound. – When the speakers are reverberating due to a record

player, noise from FM broadcasts, or continuous signals from an oscillator, test disc, or electronic

instrument. – When adjusting the sound quality. – When turning the unit on or off.

≥Positioning speakers in front

It is possible to locate all the speakers in front of the listening position. However the optimal surround sound effect may not be obtainable.

If irregular colouring occurs on your TV

The center speaker is designed to be used close to a TV, but the picture may be affected with some TVs and setup combinations.

If this occurs, turn the TV off for about 30 minutes.

The demagnetising function of the TV should correct the problem. If it persists, move the speakers further away from the TV.

Caution

≥The main unit and supplied speakers are to be used only as

indicated in this setup. Failure to do so may lead to damage to the amplifier and/or the speakers, and may result in the risk of fire. Consult a qualified service person if damage has occurred or if you experience a sudden change in performance.

≥Do not attempt to attach these speakers to walls using

methods other than those described in this manual.

Caution

Do not touch the front netted area of the speakers. Hold by the sides. e.g. Center speaker

Glossary

AVC HD

AVCHD is a new format (standard) for high definition video cameras that can be used to record and play high-resolution HD images.

BD-J

Some BD-Video discs contain Java applications, and these applications are called BD-J. You can enjoy various interactive features in addition to playing normal video.

BD-Live

This is a BD-Video (BD-ROM Profile 2) that supports the new functions such as Internet connection, etc. in addition to the BONUSVIEW function.

Bitstream

This is the digital form of multi-channel audio data (e.g., 5.1 channel) before it is decoded into its various channels.

BONUSVIEW (Final Standard Profile)

This is a BD-Video (BD-ROM Profile 1 version 1.1) that supports the new functions such as Picture-in-picture and Secondary Audio, etc.

Deep Colour

This unit incorporates HDMI that can reproduce greater colour gradation (4096 steps) when connected to a compatible TV. You can enjoy exceptionally rich, natural-looking colours, with smooth, detailed gradation and minimal colour banding. [A lower colour gradation (256 steps), without Deep Colour, will be reproduced if connected to a TV which does not support Deep Colour. The unit will automatically set appropriate output to suit the connected TV.]

DivX

DivX is a popular media technology created by DivX, Inc. DivX media files contain highly compressed video with high visual quality that maintains a relatively small file size.

DNS Server

A server which acts like a telephone directory and translates Internet domain names into IP addresses.

(V.1.3a with Deep Colour) technology

DTS-HD High Resolution Audio

This is a signal format achieved by improving the previous DTS, DTS-ES and DTS 96/24 formats. It is compatible with sampling frequency 96 kHz/48 kHz. BD-Video supports up to 7.1 channel output.

DTS-HD Master Audio

This is a lossless audio format and compatible with 96 kHz/7.1ch or less. In addition, faithful reproduction of the master audio is enabled using lossless audio encoding technology. BD-Video supports up to

7.1 channel output.

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. Dynamic range compression means reducing the gap between the loudest and softest sounds. This means you can listen at low volumes but still hear dialog clearly.

Film and video

DVD-Video are recorded using either film or video. This unit can determine which type has been used, then uses the most suitable method of progressive output. Film: Recorded at 25 frames per second (PAL discs) or 24

frames per second (NTSC discs). (NTSC discs recorded at 30 frames per second as well.) Generally appropriate for motion picture films.

Video: Recorded at 25 frames/50 fields per second (PAL discs) or

30 frames/60 fields per second (NTSC discs). Generally appropriate for TV drama programs or animation.

Folder

This is a place on the disc, USB device or SD card where groups of data are stored together. Additional folders can be created within folders, and you can make detailed classifications depending on the folder structure. (> 47)

Frames and fields

Frames refer to the single images that constitute the video you see on your television. Each frame consists of two fields.

Dolby Digital

This is a method of coding digital signals developed by Dolby Laboratories. Apart from stereo (2-channel) audio, these signals can also be multi-channel audio.

Dolby Digital Plus

Multi-channel audio and higher audio quality is made possible using Dolby Digital Plus. BD-Video supports up to 7.1 channel output.

Dolby Pro Logic II

Dolby Pro Logic II enables you to play stereo sources on 5.1-channel.

Dolby TrueHD

Dolby TrueHD is a very high quality audio format that reproduces the studio master audio. BD-Video supports up to 7.1 channel output.

Down-mixing

This is the process of remixing the multi-channel audio found on some discs into fewer channels.

DTS (Digital Theater Systems)

This surround system is used in many movie theaters. There is good separation between the channels, so realistic sound effects are possible.

DTS-HD

DTS-HD is a high-quality, sophisticated audio format used in movie theaters. Previous DTS Digital Surround-compatible equipment can play DTS-HD as DTS Digital Surround audio. BD-Video supports up to

7.1 channel output.



Frame Field Field

≥A frame still shows two fields, so there may be some blurring, but

picture quality is generally better.

≥A field still shows less picture information so it may be rougher, but

there is no blurring.

Gateway

IP address of the electronic device providing Internet access. Usually called a router IP address. (e.g., 192.168.0.1)

HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface)

HDMI is a digital interface for consumer electronic products. Unlike conventional connections, it transmits uncompressed digital video and audio signals on a single cable.

Hub

Used for connecting more than one device to the network.

IP address

A set of numbers which distinguish each device on the network when, for example, connected to the Internet. When using a PC in a LAN to access a PC or device that is not included in the LAN, the IP address is called the local IP address. (e.g., 192.168.0.10)

Glossary

JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group)

This is a system used for compressing/decoding colour still pictures. If you select JPEG as the storage system on digital cameras, etc., the data will be compressed to 1/10–1/100 of its original size. The benefit of JPEG is less deterioration in picture quality considering the degree of compression.

LAN (Local Area Network)

A group of linked devices in a company, school or home. Indicates the boundaries of a particular network.

Local storage

This storage area is used as a destination for sub contents for playing BD-Live on BD-Video.

LPCM (Linear PCM)

These are a kind of PCM format. These are uncompressed digital signals, similar to those found on CDs.

P4HD (Pixel Precision Progressive Processing for HD)

This is a processor which makes use of an exclusive Panasonic algorithm. Various processing is supported, including a high-level conversion of the TV scanning format from interlace to progressive and a high-level conversion of standard resolution (480i or 576i) video signal to a 1080 High Definition video signal. Consequently, this unit is able to provide video of optimal resolution to the connected TV.

Router

Distinguishes the IP address assigned to each device, such as the PC, and relays the flow of data within the network.

Sampling frequency

Sampling is the process of converting the heights of sound wave (analogue 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.

MPEG2 (Moving Picture Experts Group)

A standard for efficiently compressing and expanding colour video. MPEG2 is a compression standard used for DVD and satellite based digital broadcasting.

MPEG-4 AVC/H.264

A standard for efficiently compressing and expanding colour video. MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 is an encoding method used for recording of the high definition videos.

MP3 (MPEG Audio Layer 3)

An audio compression method that compresses audio to approximately one tenth of its size without any significant loss of audio quality.

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.

PCM (Pulse Code Modulation)

This is one format for converting analogue audio into digital audio, enabling you to enjoy digital audio with no hassle.

Picture-in-picture

This is a function of BD-Video that plays the primary video and secondary video simultaneously. For instance, the function is capable of playing the original movie as the primary video while playing video commentary from the film director on a small screen as a secondary video.

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.

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.

USB (Universal Serial Bus)

An interface specification to connect peripherals. Playback of MP3, JPEG, or DivX recorded to a USB memory by PC or other equipment, or JPEG in the Panasonic digital camera or similar connected via USB connection cable is possible with this unit.

VIERA CAST

An information service unique with Panasonic where specific Web sites can be viewed on this unit by connecting to the Internet without using a PC.

x.v.Colour

x.v.ColourTM is a name for devices that are compatible with the xvYCC format, an international standard for expanded colour in motion pictures, and that follow the rules for signal transmission. You can enjoy vivid colours of wider colour ranges for a more realistic picture when connected to a TV that supports the x.v.Colour HDMI cable.

1080i (1125i)

In one high definition image, 1080 (1125) alternating scan lines pass to create an interlaced image. Because 1080i (1125i) more than doubles current television broadcasts of 480i, the detail is much clearer and creates a more realistic and rich image.

1080p (1125p)

In one high definition image, 1080 (1125) scan lines pass at the same time to create a progressive image. Since progressive video does not alternate scan lines like interlace, there is a minimal amount of screen flicker.

24p

This is a progressive image recorded at a rate of 24 frames per second.

720p (750p)

In one high definition image, 720 (750) scan lines pass at the same time to create a progressive image. Since progressive video does not alternate scan lines like interlace, there is a minimal amount of screen flicker.
