P4HD (Pixel Precision Progressive Processing for HD)
This is a processor which makes use of an exclusive Panasonic 
algorithm. Various processing is supported, including a high-level 
conversion of the TV scanning format from interlace to progressive 
and a high-level conversion of standard resolution (480i or 576i) 
video signal to a 1080 High Definition video signal.
Consequently, this unit is able to provide video of optimal resolution 
to the connected TV.
Pan&Scan/Letterbox
In 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.
PCM (Pulse Code Modulation)
This is one format for converting analog audio into digital audio, 
enabling you to enjoy digital audio with no hassle.
Progressive/Interlace
The 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.
Router
Distinguishes the IP address assigned to each device, such as the 
PC, and relays the flow of data within the network.
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.
SQPB (S-VHS Quasi Playback)
This is a function to playback 
3 cassettes recorded in S-VHS 
format in a simplified way. It will not reproduce the high definition of 
the S-VHS format.
Subnet mask
Enables efficient network use. A set of numbers which identify which 
part of the IP address allocated to every device connected to the 
router is the network portion.
USB (Universal Serial Bus)
An interface specification to connect peripherals. Playback of MP3 or 
JPEG recorded to a USB device by PC or other equipment, or JPEG 
in the Panasonic digital camera or similar connected via USB 
connection cable is possible with this unit.
VIERA CAST
An information service unique to Panasonic where specific Web sites 
can be viewed on this unit by connecting to the Internet without using 
a PC.
x.v.Color
TM
x.v.Color
TM
 is a name for devices that are compatible with the xvYCC 
format, an international standard for expanded color in motion 
pictures, and that follow the rules for signal transmission.
You can enjoy vivid colors of wider color ranges for a more realistic 
picture when connected to a TV that supports the x.v.Color
TM
 with 
HDMI cable.
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. 
24p
This 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.
