COMPONENT VIDEO OUT terminal
These terminals can be used for either interlace or progressive output ( page 7) and provide a purer picture than the S VIDEO OUT terminal. Connection using these terminals outputs the color difference signals (PB/PR) and luminance signal (Y) separately in order to achieve high fidelity in reproducing colors.The description of the component video input terminals depends on the television or monitor (e.g. Y/PB/PR, Y/B-Y/R-Y, Y/CB/CR). Connect to terminals of the same color. [Units\for\the\U.S.A.,\Canada\and,\with\PX\printed\on\the\outer\packaging] After making this connection, change the black level for a better picture. ( page 18, VideoBlack Level Control)

S VIDEO OUT terminal

The S video terminal achieves a more vivid picture than the VIDEO OUT terminal by separating the chrominance (C) and luminance (Y) signals. (Actual results depend on the television.)
For units with PX printed on the outer packaging
If the power plug does not fit your AC outlet, use the power plug adaptor (included). If it still doesnt fit, contact an electrical parts distributor for assistance.

Video systems

Units for the Middle East, South Africa, Asia, Russia, Australia and N.Z.: This unit can play PAL and NTSC, but your television must match the system used on the disc. PAL discs cannot be correctly viewed on an NTSC television. This unit can convert NTSC signals to PAL 60 for viewing on a PAL television ( page 18, VideoNTSC Disc Output). Output is interlace (576I), when playing PAL discs. Units for the U.S.A., Canada, and with PX printed on the outer packaging: PAL discs cannot be played.

TV Aspect

Select 4:3 (regular) or 16:9 (widescreen) to suit your television. If you have a regular 4:3 television, you can also select how video on some discs is shown ( page 18, VideoTV Aspect). 4:3 Pan&Scan (Factory preset) Widescreen software is expanded to fill the screen of a 4:3 aspect television (unless prohibited by the producer of the disc). 4:3 Letterbox Widescreen software is shown in the letterbox style on a 4:3 aspect television.

In QUICK SETUP, set Progressive Out to Enable. 3. Change Video output mode to 480P ( page 17). All televisions manufactured by Panasonic and that have 480P input connectors are compatible. Consult the manufacturer if you have another brand of television. If the unit is connected to the television through VIDEO OUT or S VIDEO OUT, output will be interlace, irrespective of the settings.

Handling precautions

Do not write on the label side with a ball-point pen or other writing instrument. Do not use record cleaning sprays, benzine, thinner, static electricity prevention liquids or any other solvent. Do not attach labels or stickers to discs. (Do not use discs with exposed adhesive from tape or left over peeled-off stickers.) Do not use scratch-proof protectors or covers. Do not use discs printed with label printers available on the market.

Glossary
Bitstream The digital form of multi-channel data (e.g. 5.1 channel) before decoding. Decoder A decoder restores coded audio signals on DVDs to normal. 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. 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 effects 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. 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 make moving pictures. About thirty are shown each second. A frame still may appear blurred but overall quality is high. Two fields appear alternately to make up one frame. A field still is not blurred but picture quality is lower. Interlace and progressive output NTSC, the video signal standard, has 480 interlaced (I) scan lines, whereas progressive scanning uses twice the number of scan lines. This is called 480P. I/P/B MPEG 2, the video compression standard adopted for use with DVD-Video, codes frames using these 3 picture types. I: Intra coded picture This picture has the best quality and is the best to use when adjusting the picture. P: Predictive coded picture This picture is calculated based on past I or P-pictures. B: Bidirectionally-predictive coded picture This picture is calculated by comparing past and future I and P-pictures so it has the lowest volume of information. Linear PCM (pulse code modulation) These are uncompressed digital signals, similar to those found on CDs.

Specifications are subject to change without notice. Mass and dimensions are approximate. DVD-S31 is not compatible with WMA or JPEG.

Bitatream The digital form of mutt bchannel data (e.g. 5.1 channel) before decoding. Decoder A decoder restores coded audio signals on DVDs to normal. 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. A large amount of audio information can be recorded on one disc using this method. Dolby Pro Logic A surround system where a 4-channeI 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 effects 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. 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 50 frames per second. Frame still and field still Frames are the still pictures that make moving pictures. About thirty are shown each second. A frame still may appear blurred but overall quality is high. Two fields appear alternately to make up one frame. A fietd still is not blurred but picture quality is lower.

Interlace and progressive output NTSC, the video signal standard, has 480 intedaced (I) scan lines, whereas progressive scanning uses twice the number of scan lines. This is called 480P. I/P/B MPEG 2, the video compression standard adopted for use with DVD-Video, cedes frames using these 3 picture types. I: Infra coded picture This picture has the best quality and is the best to use when adjusting the picture. P: Predictive coded picture This picture is calculated based on past I or P-pictures. B: Bidirectionalty-predictive coded picture This picture is calculated by comparing past and future I and P-pfotures so it has the lowest volume of information. Linear PCM (pulse code modulation) These are uncompressed digital signals, similar to those found on CDs.
