Decoder
A decoder restores the coded audio signals on DVDs to normal. This is called decoding.
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 5.1-channel sound.
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.
Frame still and field still
Frames are the still pictures that go together to make a moving picture.
There are about 30 frames shown each second.
One frame is made up of two fields. A regular TV shows these fields one after the other to create frames.
A still is shown when you pause a moving picture. A frame still is made up of two alternating fields, so the picture may appear blurred, but overall quality is high.
A field still is not blurred, but it has only half the information of a frame still so picture quality is lower.
HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface)
HDMI is a next-generation digital interface for consumer electronic products. Unlike conventional connections, it transmits uncompressed digital video and audio signals on a single cable. This unit supports highdefinition video output (720p, 1080i, 1080p) from the HDMI AV OUT terminal. To enjoy high- definition video, a high-definition compatible TV is required.
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.
JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group)
This is a system used for compressing/decoding color still pictures. The benefit of JPEG is less deterioration in picture quality considering the degree of compression.
Linear PCM (pulse code modulation)
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 considerable loss of audio quality.
Playback control (PBC)
If a Video CD has playback control, you can select scenes and information with menus.
Progressive/Interlaced
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.
Using progressive output, you can enjoy the high-resolution video recorded on media such as DVD-Video.
Your TV must be compatible to enjoy progressive video.
Sampling frequency
Sampling 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.
WMA
WMA is a compression format developed by Microsoft Corporation. It achieves the same sound quality as MP3 with a file size that is smaller than that of MP3.

Listening caution

Selecting fine audio equipment such as the unit you’ve just purchased is only the start of your musical enjoyment. Now it’s time to consider how you can maximize the fun and excitement your equipment offers. This manufacturer and the Electronic Industries Association’s Consumer Electronics Group want you to get the most out of your equipment by playing it at a safe level. One that lets the sound come through loud and clear without annoying blaring or distortion —and, most importantly, without affecting your sensitive hearing.
We recommend that you avoid prolonged exposure to excessive noise.
Sound can be deceiving. Over time your hearing “comfort level” adapts to higher volumes of sound. So what sounds “normal” can actually be loud and harmful to your hearing.
Guard against this by setting your equipment at a safe level BEFORE your hearing adapts.

To establish a safe level:

• Start your volume control at a low setting.

• Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it comfortably and clearly, and without distortion.
  Once you have established a comfortable sound level:

• Set the dial and leave it there.
  Taking a minute to do this now will help to prevent hearing damage or loss in the future.
  After all, we want you listening for a lifetime.

step 1 Assembling the front speakers
Preparation

• To prevent damage or scratches, lay down a soft cloth to assemble speakers.

• For assembly, use a Phillips-head screwdriver (not included).
  Make sure you have all the indicated components before starting assembly, setup, and connection.

• Keep the screws out of reach of children to prevent swallowing.

• For optional wall mount, refer to page 27.

Speaker assembly option

Preventing the speakers from falling

• You will need to obtain the appropriate screw eyes to match the walls or pillars to which they are going to be fastened.
• Consult a qualified housing contractor concerning the appropriate procedure when attaching to a concrete wall or a surface that may not have strong enough support. Improper attachment may result in damage to the wall or speakers.
  e.g. Front speaker
  

Caution
Do not stand on the base. Be cautious when children are near. step 2 Positioning
How you set up your speakers can affect the bass and the sound field.
Note the following points:

• 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]
  Keep your speakers at least 10 mm ( Setup example 13/32z) away from the system for proper ventilation.
  Place the front, center, and surround speakers at approximately the same distance from the seating position. The angles in the diagram are approximate.

• [PT670] Using “Auto speaker setup” ( 12) is a convenient way to get the ideal surround sound from your speakers when you are unable to place them.

Set your surround sound free!
Optional Panasonic wireless accessory (example: SH-FX70)
You can enjoy surround speaker sound wirelessly when you use the optional Panasonic wireless accessory (example: SH-FX70).
For details, please refer to the operating instructions for the optional Panasonic wireless accessory.If irregular coloring 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 demagnetizing 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.
