22 RQT9037 (ENG) When connecting to an amplifier/receiver to enjoy multi-channel surround sound, use the following settings on this unit if they cannot be set on the amplifier/receiver. The settings are not effective when outputting bitstream signals. §Surround back channel is enabled only when the unit is connected to an amplifier/receiver supporting HDMI 7.1 channel audio. Speaker presence and size (A)1Press [3,4,2,1] to select the speaker icon (A) and press [OK]. 2Press [3,4] to select the setting and press [OK]. Icon examples: Surround speaker (LS) ≥Large: Select when the speaker supports low-frequency (under 100 Hz) reproduction. ≥Small: Select when the speaker does not support low-frequency reproduction. In order to make an ideal listening environment, settings of speaker sizes may be automatically adjusted. For example, if the subwoofer is set to “No”, the front speakers will automatically be set to “Large”. (In this case, we recommend connecting a speaker that can reproduce bass below 100 Hz.) Delay time (B)For optimum listening with 7.1/5.1-channel sound, all the speakers, except for the subwoofer, should be the same distance from the seating position. If you have to place the center, surround and surround back speakers closer to the seating position, adjust the delay time to make up for the difference. If either distance D or F is less than E, find the difference in the relevant table and change to the recommended setting. 1Press [3,4,2,1] to select the delay time box (B) and press [OK]. 2Press [3,4] to select the setting and press [OK].

29 RQT9037 (ENG) Glossary AVCHDAVCHD is a new format (standard) for high definition video cameras that can be used to record and play high-resolution HD images. BD-JSome 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. BitstreamThis is the digital form of multi-channel audio data (e.g., 5.1 channel) before it is decoded into its various channels. Dolby DigitalThis 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 PlusMulti-channel audio and higher audio quality is made possible using Dolby Digital Plus. BD-Video supports up to 7.1 channel output. Dolby TrueHDDolby TrueHD is a very high quality audio format that reproduces the studio master audio. BD-Video supports up to 7.1 channel output. Down-mixingThis 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-HDDTS-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. Dynamic rangeDynamic 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 videoDVD-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 24 frames per second. (Recorded at 30 frames per second as well). Generally appropriate for motion picture films. Video: Recorded at 30 frames/60 fields per second. Generally appropriate for TV drama programs or animation. Final Standard Profile (FSP)This is a BD-Video [BD-ROM version 2 (Profile 1 version 1.1)] that supports the new functions such as Picture-in-picture, Secondary Audio, and Virtual Package, etc. Frames and fieldsFrames refer to the single images that constitute the video you see on your television. Each frame consists of two fields. ≥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. 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. JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group)This is a system used for compressing/decoding color 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. Local storageThis storage area is used as a destination for sub contents for playing virtual packages on BD-Video. LPCM (Linear PCM)These are uncompressed digital signals, similar to those found on CDs. 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/LetterboxIn 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. Picture-in-pictureThis is a new 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/InterlaceThe video signal standard of NTSC has 480 interlaced (i) scan lines, whereas progressive (p) scanning uses twice the number of scan lines, and this is referred to as 480p. Using progressive output, you can enjoy watching high resolution video. Sampling frequencySampling is the process of converting the heights of sound wave (analog 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. Virtual packageSome BD-Video discs copy data to other media (local storage) and then play the secondary video, secondary audio, and subtitles (sub contents) simultaneously. These functions are called virtual packages. Sub contents are automatically recorded to other media from the disc prior to playing the virtual package. The playback methods vary depending on discs. 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. 24pThis 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.
