What is Freeview built-in?
Freeview built-in is a function that enables timer recordings to be controlled by the signal
sent from the broadcaster. Guide Link is available.
Guide Link If you set a timer recording from the TV Guide, recording start and stop
times can be controlled by the broadcaster, e.g., delayed recording start time.
This is indicated by Guide Link in the Timer Recording screen in step @ ( below).
If you set a timer recording from the TV Guide, the recordings start and stop times are
controlled by the signal sent from the broadcaster. If the signal is not sent correctly,
the recording may lack the beginning or the ending part of the programmes.
In order to make the timer recording work successfully, we recommend you set the
start time earlier and the end time later by some minutes, up to a maximum of 10
minutes for Guide Link to function.
e.g. When you set the timer recording for a programme that will start at 10:00 and
end at 11:00, set 9:58 and 11:05 in step @ ( below).
Guide Link will not be displayed and will not function under the following conditions.
Timer programmes set manually ( 30).
Timer programmes set from the TV Guide are modified or start/stop time changed by
more than 10 minutes from original time.

RQT9126
Bitstream
This is a signal compressed and converted into digital form. It is
converted back to a multi-channel audio signal, e.g., 5.1-channel, by a
decoder.
CPRM (Content Protection for Recordable Media)
CPRM is technology used to protect broadcasts that are allowed to
be recorded only once. Such broadcasts can be recorded only with
CPRM-compatible recorders and discs.
Decoder
A decoder restores the coded audio signals on DVDs to normal. This is
called decoding.
Deep Colour
TM
(V.1.3 with Deep Colour) technology 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.]
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.
When recording on this unit Dolby Digital (2 channel) is the default
audio.
Down-mixing
This is the process of remixing the multi-channel audio found on some
discs into two channels. It is useful when you want to listen to the 5.1-
channel audio recorded on DVDs through your TVs speakers. Some
discs prohibit down-mixing. If this is the case, this unit can only output
the front two channels.
Drive
In the instance of this unit, this refers to disc (DVD) and video cassette
(VHS). These perform the reading and writing of data.
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.
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 hear dialogue clearly at low volume.
Film and Video
DVD-Videos are recorded using either lm or video. The 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 lms.
Video: Recorded at 25 frames/50 elds per second. (PAL discs)
or 30 frames/60 elds per second (NTSC discs). Generally
appropriate for TV drama programmes or animation.
Finalise
A process that makes play of a recorded CD-R, CD-RW, DVD-R, etc.
possible on equipment that can play such media. You can nalise DVD-
R, DVD-R DL, DVD-RW (DVD-Video format), +R, and +R DL on the
unit. After nalising, the disc becomes play-only and you can no longer
record or edit. However, nalised DVD-RW can be formatted to become
recordable.
Formatting
Formatting is the process of making media such as DVD-RAM
recordable on recording equipment.
You can format DVD-RAM, DVD-RW (only as DVD-Video format) and,
+RW or unused +R and +R DL on this unit.
Formatting irrevocably erases all contents.
Frame and Field
Frame refers to the single images that constitute the video you see on
your TV. Each frame consists of 2 elds.
= +
Frame Field Field
A frame still shows 2 elds, so there may be some blurring between
them, but picture quality is generally better.
A eld still shows less picture information so it may be rougher, but
there is no blurring.
HDMI (High-Denition Multimedia Interface)
Unlike conventional connections, it transmits uncompressed digital
video and audio signals on a single cable. This unit supports high-
denition video output [720p (750p), 1080i (1125i) and 1080p (1125p)]
from HDMI AV OUT terminal. To enjoy high-denition video a high
denition compatible television is required.
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 benet of
JPEG is less deterioration in picture quality considering the degree of
compression.
LPCM (Linear PCM)
These are uncompressed digital signals, similar to those found on CDs.
MPEG2 (Moving Picture Experts Group)
A standard for efciently compressing and expanding colour video.
MPEG2 is a compression standard used for DVD and satellite based
digital broadcasting. This unit records programmes using MPEG2.
MP3 (MPEG Audio Layer 3)
An audio compression method that compresses audio to approximately
1/10 of its size without any signicant loss of audio quality.
Pan & Scan/Letterbox
In general, DVD-Video are produced with the intention that they will be
viewed on a widescreen TV (16:9 aspect ratio), so images often dont
t regular TVs (4:3 aspect ratio). 2 styles of picture, Pan & Scan and
Letterbox, deal with this problem.
Pan & Scan: The sides are cut off so the picture
lls 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.
Playback control (PBC)
If a Video CD has playback control, you can select scenes and
information with menus.
(This unit is compatible with version 2.0 and 1.1.)
Glossary
DMR-EZ48V_EB.indb 92 2008/04/04 16:39:47

RQT9126
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.
Protection
You can prevent accidental erasure by setting writing protection or
erasure protection.
RGB
This refers to the three primary colours of light, red (R), green
(G), and blue (B) and also the method of producing video that
uses them. By dividing the video signal into the three colours for
transmission, noise is reduced for even higher quality images.
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.
Signal Quality
This is the guide for checking the aerial direction. The numbered
values displayed do not indicate the strength of the signal, but
the quality of the signal (the signal to noise ratio, or S/N). The
channels you can receive are affected by weather conditions,
seasons, time (day/night), region, length of the cable that is
connected to the aerial, etc.
Thumbnail
This refers to a miniature representation of a picture used to
display multiple pictures in the form of a matrix.
1080i
In one high-denition image, 1080 (1125) alternating scan lines
pass every 1/50
th
of a second to create an interlace image.
Because 1080i (1125i) more than doubles current television
broadcasts of 480i (525i), the detail is much clearer and creates a
more realistic and rich image.
1080p
In one high-denition image, 1080 (1125) scan lines pass at the
same time every 1/50
th
of a second to create a progressive image.
Since progressive video does not alternate scan lines like interlace,
there is a minimal amount of screen icker.
720p
In one high-denition image, 720 (750) scan lines pass at the same
time every 1/50
th
of a second to create a progressive image. Since
progressive video does not alternate scan lines like interlace, there
is a minimal amount of screen icker.
