*1 When the connected equipment is not supported with these audio formats, the audio is output as Dolby Digital bitstream, DTS Digital Surround<br />
bitstream or down-mixed 2ch PCM (e.g., TV).<br />
*2 [BD-V]: When playing BD-Video without secondary audio or clicking sound, the audio is output as the same format as if “BD-Video Secondary<br />
Audio” was set to “Off”.<br />
*3 When the connected equipment is not supported with multi channel surround, the audio is output as down-mixed 2ch PCM.<br />
*4 [BD-V]: When the connected equipment is supported with 7.1 channel surround, the audio output is amplified from 5.1ch or 6.1ch to 7.1ch<br />
depending on the DTS, Inc. specifications.<br />
*5 With PCM output, Dolby Digital EX becomes PCM audio decoded as Dolby Digital, DTS-ES recorded to DVD-Video becomes PCM audio<br />
decoded as DTS Digital Surround, and DTS-ES recorded to BD-Video becomes PCM audio decoded as DTS-ES.<br />
*6 [BD-V]: When “BD-Video Secondary Audio” is set to “On”, Dolby Digital EX is output as Dolby Digital and DTS-ES is output as DTS Digital<br />
Surround, however if playing BD-Video without secondary audio or clicking sound, the audio is output as the original format.<br />

VIERA Link TM is a new name for EZ Sync TM .<br />
VIERA Link “HDAVI Control” is a convenient function that offers linked operations of this unit, and a <strong>Panasonic</strong> TV (VIERA) or<br />
amplifier/receiver under “HDAVI Control”.<br />
You can use this function by connecting the equipment with an HDMI cable. See the operating instructions for connected equipment<br />
for operational details.<br />
≥VIERA Link “HDAVI Control”, based on the control functions provided by HDMI which is an industry standard known as HDMI CEC (Consumer<br />
Electronics Control), is a unique function that we have developed and added. As such, its operation with other manufacturers’ equipment that<br />
supports HDMI CEC cannot be guaranteed.<br />
≥This unit supports “HDAVI Control 3” function.<br />
“HDAVI Control 3” is the newest standard (current as of December, 2007) for <strong>Panasonic</strong>’s HDAVI Control compatible equipment. This standard<br />
is compatible with <strong>Panasonic</strong>’s conventional HDAVI equipment.<br />
≥Please refer to individual manuals for other manufacturers’ equipment supporting VIERA Link function.<br />
Preparation<br />

2) Set “VIERA Link” to “On” (� 32). (The default setting is “On”.)<br />
3) Set the “HDAVI Control” operations on the connected equipment (e.g., TV).<br />
≥When using HDMI2 terminal of VIERA as “HDAVI Control”, set the input channel to HDMI2 on VIERA.<br />
4) Turn on all “HDAVI Control” compatible equipment and select this unit’s input channel on the connected TV so that the “HDAVI Control”<br />
function works properly.<br />

Glossary<br />
AVCHD<br />
AVCHD is a new format (standard) for high definition video cameras<br />
that can be used to record and play high-resolution HD images.<br />
BD-J<br />
Some BD-Video discs contain Java applications, and these<br />
applications are called BD-J. You can enjoy various interactive<br />
features in addition to playing normal video.<br />
BD-Live<br />
This is a BD-Video (BD-ROM version 2 Profile 2) that supports the<br />
new functions such as Internet connection, etc. in addition to the<br />
BONUSVIEW function.<br />
Bitstream<br />
This is the digital form of multi-channel audio data (e.g., 5.1 channel)<br />
before it is decoded into its various channels.<br />
BONUSVIEW (Final Standard Profile)<br />
This is a BD-Video (BD-ROM version 2 Profile 1 version 1.1) that<br />
supports the new functions such as Picture-in-picture, Secondary<br />
Audio, and Virtual Package, etc.<br />
Deep Color<br />
Deep Color is a name for device that can reproduce greater color<br />
gradation (4096 steps) when connected to a TV that supports the<br />
deep color with HDMI cable. You can enjoy exceptionally rich,<br />
natural-looking colors, with smooth, detailed gradation and minimal<br />
color banding. [A lower color gradation (256 steps), without deep<br />
color, will be reproduced if connected to a TV which does not support<br />
deep color. The unit will automatically set appropriate output to suit<br />
the connected TV.]<br />
DivX [BD55]<br />
DivX is a popular media technology created by DivX, Inc. DivX media<br />
files contain highly compressed video with high visual quality that<br />
maintains a relatively small file size.<br />
DNS Server<br />
A server which acts like a telephone directory and translates Internet<br />
domain names into IP addresses.<br />
Dolby Digital<br />
This is a method of coding digital signals developed by Dolby<br />
Laboratories. Apart from stereo (2-channel) audio, these signals can<br />
also be multi-channel audio.<br />
Dolby Digital Plus<br />
Multi-channel audio and higher audio quality is made possible using<br />
Dolby Digital Plus. BD-Video supports up to 7.1 channel output.<br />
Dolby TrueHD<br />
Dolby TrueHD is a very high quality audio format that reproduces the<br />
studio master audio. BD-Video supports up to 7.1 channel output.<br />
Down-mixing<br />
This is the process of remixing the multi-channel audio found on<br />
some discs into fewer channels.<br />
DTS (Digital Theater Systems)<br />
This surround system is used in many movie theaters. There is good<br />
separation between the channels, so realistic sound effects are<br />
possible.<br />
DTS-HD<br />
DTS-HD is a high-quality, sophisticated audio format used in movie<br />
theaters. Previous DTS Digital Surround-compatible equipment can<br />
play DTS-HD as DTS Digital Surround audio. BD-Video supports up<br />
to 7.1 channel output.<br />
DTS-HD High Resolution Audio<br />
This is a signal format achieved by improving the previous DTS,<br />
DTS-ES and DTS96/24 formats. It is compatible with sampling<br />
frequency 96 kHz/48 kHz. BD-Video supports up to 7.1 channel<br />
output.<br />
DTS-HD Master Audio<br />
This is a lossless audio format and compatible with 96 kHz/7.1ch or<br />
less. In addition, faithful reproduction of the master audio is enabled<br />
using lossless audio encoding technology. BD-Video supports up to<br />
7.1 channel output.<br />
Dynamic range<br />
Dynamic range is the difference between the lowest level of sound<br />
that can be heard above the noise of the equipment and the highest<br />
level of sound before distortion occurs.<br />
Dynamic range compression means reducing the gap between the<br />
loudest and softest sounds. This means you can listen at low<br />
volumes but still hear dialog clearly.<br />
Film and video<br />
DVD-Video are recorded using either film or video. This unit can<br />
determine which type has been used, then uses the most suitable<br />
method of progressive output.<br />
Film: Recorded at 24 frames per second. (Recorded at 30<br />
frames per second as well). Generally appropriate for<br />
motion picture films.<br />
Video: Recorded at 30 frames/60 fields per second. Generally<br />
appropriate for TV drama programs or animation.<br />
Frames and fields<br />
Frames refer to the single images that constitute the video you see on<br />
your television. Each frame consists of two fields.<br />
u r<br />
Frame Field Field<br />
≥A frame still shows two fields, so there may be some blurring, but<br />
picture quality is generally better.<br />
≥A field still shows less picture information so it may be rougher, but<br />
there is no blurring.<br />
Gateway<br />
IP address of the electronic device providing Internet access.<br />
Usually called a router IP address. (e.g., 192.168.0.1)<br />
HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface)<br />
HDMI is a digital interface for consumer electronic products. Unlike<br />
conventional connections, it transmits uncompressed digital video<br />
and audio signals on a single cable.<br />
Hub<br />
Used for connecting more than one device to the network.<br />
IP address<br />
A set of numbers which distinguish each device on the network when,<br />
for example, connected to the Internet. When using a PC in a LAN to<br />
access a PC or device that is not included in the LAN, the IP address<br />
is called the local IP address. (e.g., 192.168.0.10)<br />
JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group)<br />
This is a system used for compressing/decoding color still pictures. If<br />
you select JPEG as the storage system on digital cameras, etc., the<br />
data will be compressed to 1/10–1/100 of its original size. The benefit<br />
of JPEG is less deterioration in picture quality considering the degree<br />
of compression.<br />
LAN (Local Area Network)<br />
A group of linked devices in a company, school or home.<br />
Indicates the boundaries of a particular network.<br />
Local storage<br />
This storage area is used as a destination for sub contents for playing<br />
virtual packages on BD-Video.<br />
LPCM (Linear PCM)<br />
These are a kind of PCM format.<br />
These are uncompressed digital signals, similar to those found on<br />
CDs.<br />
MP3 (MPEG Audio Layer 3)<br />
An audio compression method that compresses audio to<br />
approximately one tenth of its size without any significant loss of<br />
audio quality.
P4HD (Pixel Precision Progressive Processing for HD)<br />
This is a processor which makes use of an exclusive <strong>Panasonic</strong><br />
algorithm. Various processing is supported, including a high-level<br />
conversion of the TV scanning format from interlace to progressive<br />
and a high-level conversion of standard resolution (480i or 576i)<br />
video signal to a 1080 High Definition video signal.<br />
Consequently, this unit is able to provide video of optimal resolution<br />
to the connected TV.<br />
Pan&Scan/Letterbox<br />
In general, DVD-Video are produced with the intention that they be<br />
viewed on a widescreen television (16:9 aspect ratio), so images<br />
often don’t fit regular (4:3 aspect ratio) televisions. Two styles of<br />
picture, “Pan & Scan” and “Letterbox”, deal with this problem.<br />
Pan&Scan:The sides are cut off so the picture fills<br />
the screen.<br />
Letterbox: Black bands appear at the top and bottom<br />
of the picture so the picture itself appears<br />
in an aspect ratio of 16:9.<br />
PCM (Pulse Code Modulation)<br />
This is one format for converting analog audio into digital audio,<br />
enabling you to enjoy digital audio with no hassle.<br />
Progressive/Interlace<br />
The video signal standard of NTSC has 480 interlaced (i) scan lines,<br />
whereas progressive (p) scanning uses twice the number of scan<br />
lines, and this is referred to as 480p. Using progressive output, you<br />
can enjoy watching high resolution video.<br />
Router<br />
Distinguishes the IP address assigned to each device, such as the<br />
PC, and relays the flow of data within the network.<br />
Sampling frequency<br />
Sampling is the process of converting the heights of sound wave<br />
(analog signal) samples taken at set periods into digits (digital<br />
encoding). Sampling frequency is the number of samples taken per<br />
second, so larger numbers mean more faithful reproduction of the<br />
original sound.<br />
Subnet mask<br />
Enables efficient network use. A set of numbers which identify which<br />
part of the IP address allocated to every device connected to the<br />
router is the network portion.<br />
x.v.Color<br />
x.v.Color is a name for devices that are compatible with the xvYCC<br />
format, an international standard for expanded color in motion<br />
pictures, and that follow the rules for signal transmission.<br />
You can enjoy vivid colors of wider color ranges for a more realistic<br />
picture when connected to a TV that supports the x.v.Color with<br />
HDMI cable.<br />
1080i (1125i)<br />
In one high definition image, 1080 (1125) alternating scan lines pass<br />
to create an interlaced image. Because 1080i (1125i) more than<br />
doubles current television broadcasts of 480i, the detail is much<br />
clearer and creates a more realistic and rich image.<br />
1080p (1125p)<br />
In one high definition image, 1080 (1125) scan lines pass at the same<br />
time to create a progressive image. Since progressive video does not<br />
alternate scan lines like interlace, there is a minimal amount of<br />
screen flicker.<br />
24p<br />
This is a progressive image recorded at a rate of 24 frames per<br />
second.<br />
720p (750p)<br />
In one high definition image, 720 (750) scan lines pass at the same<br />
time to create a progressive image. Since progressive video does not<br />
alternate scan lines like interlace, there is a minimal amount of<br />
screen flicker.<br />
