Frequently Asked Questions - DVD-S55 PANASONIC

How do I connect the DVD-S55 to my TV?

Use the composite (yellow RCA) or component (Y/Pb/Pr) video cables for standard definition. For audio, use the red/white RCA cables. Connect the power cord and select the correct input on your TV.

Why is my DVD player showing 'NO DISC'?

Ensure the disc is inserted with the label side up. Clean the disc with a soft cloth. Try a different disc. If the problem persists, the laser may need cleaning or replacement.

Can I play DVDs from another region?

The DVD-S55 is region-locked. To play discs from another region, you would need a region-free modification or a player that supports multiple regions. Check your model's region code.

The remote control does not work. What should I do?

First, check the batteries and ensure they are correctly inserted. Remove any obstacles between the remote and the player. If still not working, try resetting the remote by removing batteries and pressing all buttons.

How do I clean the DVD player?

Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the exterior. Do not use alcohol or abrasive cleaners. For the disc tray, gently clean with a dry cloth. Use a lens cleaning disc for the laser pickup.

What types of discs can I play?

This player supports DVD-Video, DVD-R/RW, DVD+R/RW, CD, CD-R/RW, and discs with MP3 or JPEG files. It does not play Blu-ray or HD DVDs.

How do I adjust the playback settings?

Press the SETUP button on the remote to access the on-screen menu. You can adjust language, audio output, video display, and parental controls.

The picture quality is poor. How can I improve it?

Use component or S-Video connections for better quality. Enable progressive scan if your TV supports it. Adjust TV type (4:3 or 16:9) in the setup menu.

Can I connect the DVD-S55 to a surround sound system?

Yes, use the digital optical or coaxial output to connect to a compatible receiver for Dolby Digital or DTS sound. Analog stereo outputs are also available.

otherwise indicated.

Connection to a television

This page explains how to connect the unit to a television and set it up so you hear the audio through the television's speakers. To get the full benefit from the powerful multi-channel audio found on DVDs, you should connect an amplifier and speakers.

Connect your unit directly to your television.

Do not connect the unit through your video cassette recorder when setting up your home entertainment system, because the picture may not be played correctly due to the copy guard.

■ Basic connection

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.)

When making this connection, ensure you connect the audio cables to the corresponding audio input terminals on the television.

Home Theater – Enjoying more powerful sound

Enjoy the powerful movie theater and hall-like sound available with multiple channel audio found on DVDs by connecting an amplifier and speakers. There are two types of connection, digital and analog.

Digital

Connect an amplifier with Dolby Digital and DTS decoders to enjoy surround sound.

You can also enjoy high-quality stereo sound with sampling frequencies of 86.2 and 95 kHz if the material isn't copy-protected and the equipment you connect is compatible with these signals.

You can change the following setting from the Setup menu when you have connected equipment through this unit's DIGITAL AUDIO OUT terminal (OPTICAL). Make sure "Digital Audio Output" is set to "On".

PCM Down Conversion

Select how to output audio with a sampling frequency of 98 kHz or 68.2 kHz.

- Select "Yes" if the equipment you connect cannot process signals with a sampling frequency of 96 kHz or 88.2 kHz.

No (Factory present): Output as 96 kHz or 88.2 kHz

Yes: Converted to 48 kHz or 44.1 kHz

Note

- Signals are converted to either 48 kHz or 44.1 kHz despite the above settings if the signals have a sampling frequency of over 98 kHz, or the disc has copy protection.

- Some equipment cannot handle sampling frequencies of 88.2 kHz, even if they can handle 96 kHz. Need your equipment's operating instructions for details.

Dolby Digital and DTS Digital Surround

Bitstream (Factory preset for Dolby Digital):

Select if the equipment you connected can decode the signal.

PCM (Factory preset for DTS Digital Surround):

Select if the equipment you connected cannot decode the signal.

IMPORTANT

If the equipment you connected cannot decode the signal, the setting must be changed to PCM. If not, signals the equipment cannot process will be output by this unit, causing high levels of noise which can damage your hearing and the speakers.

Delay time (6)

(Effective only when playing multi-channel discs)

For optimum listening with 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 or surround speakers closer to the seating position, adjust the delay time to make up for the difference.

④ Center speaker

Difference Setting
Approx. 50 cm (1 1/2 feet)	1.3 ms
Approx. 100 cm (3 feet)	2.6 ms
Approx. 150 cm (5 feet)	3.9 ms
Approx. 200 cm (6 feet)	5.3 ms

① Surround speakers

Difference Setting
Approx. 200 cm (5 feet)	5.3 ms
Approx. 400 cm (12 feet)	10.6 ms
Approx. 600 cm (18 feet)	15.9 ms

If distance (g) (from the center speaker) and (i) (from the surround speakers) are the same as or greater than (j) (from the front speakers), leave the delay time as 0°, the factory preset. If other distance (k) or (l) is less than (m) find the difference in the relevant table and change to the recommended setting.

Changing the delay time

1. Press [▲, ▼, ◀, ▶] to select the delay time box and press [ENTER].
2. Press [▲, ▼] to adjust the delay time and press [ENTER].

Channel balance (©)

1. Press [▲, ▼, ▶] to select "Test" and press [ENTER]. A test signal is output from one speaker at a time, starting with the front left speaker and proceeding clockwise.

Front (L) → Center → Front (R)

Surround (LS)←Surround (RS)

1. While listening to the test signal, press [▲, ▼] to adjust the volume of the center and surround speakers so they are the same apparent volume as the front speakers (-6 to +6). (The front speakers cannot be adjusted here.)
2. Press [ENTER].

The test signal stops.

- No signal is output for the subwoofer. To adjust its volume, play something, then return to this screen to adjust to suit your taste.

To finish the speaker setting

Press [▲, ▼, ◀, ▶] to select "Exit" and press [ENTER].

Note

The unit may be unable to output as set here due to limitations imposed by the unit itself or the disc being played. (The display's "D.MIX" indicator goes out in these cases.)

Glossary

Bitstream

The digital form of multi-channel data (e.g. 5.1 channel) before decoding.

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.

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.

A surround system where a 4-channel audio track is recorded as 2 channels and then is restored to 4 channels for playback. The surround channel is monaural and can reproduce up to 7 kHz.

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 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 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 burned but picture quality is lower.

Interface and progressive output

NTSC, the video signal standard, has 460 interfaced (i) scan lines, whereas progressive scanning uses twice the number of scan lines. This is called 480P.

VPB

MPEG 2. the video compression standard adopted for use with DVD-Video, codes frames using these 3 picture types.

1: 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 1 of P-pictures.

B. Directionally 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.
