You can also connect with the AV1 terminal on this unit using the

21-pin Scart cable.

If your television is equipped with RGB input capability, by

connecting with a fully wired 21-pin Scart cable you can see video

using RGB output on this unit.

To output in RGB select “RGB (without component)” from “AV1

Output” in the SETUP menu (➡page 41).

RGB 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.

temperatures, high humidity, and excessive vibration. These

conditions can damage the cabinet and other components, thereby

shortening the unit’s service life.

Do not place heavy items on the unit.

Do not spray insecticides onto or into the unit. They contain

flammable gases which can ignite if sprayed into the unit.

Voltage

Do not use high voltage power sources. This can overload the unit

and cause a fire.

Do not use a DC power source. Check the source carefully when

setting the unit up on a ship or other place where DC is used.

Service

Do not attempt to repair this unit by yourself. If sound is

interrupted, indicators fail to light, smoke appears, or any other

problem that is not covered in these instructions occurs, disconnect

the AC mains lead and contact your dealer or an authorized service

center. Electric shock or damage to the unit can occur if the unit is

repaired, disassembled or reconstructed by unqualified persons.

AC mains lead protection

Ensure the AC mains lead is connected correctly and not

damaged. Poor connection and lead damage can cause fire or

electric shock. Do not pull, bend, or place heavy items on the lead.

Grasp the plug firmly when unplugging the lead. Pulling the AC

mains lead can cause electric shock.

Extend operating life by disconnecting the unit from the power

source if it is not to be used for a long time.

RQT7450

Do not handle the plug with wet hands. This can cause electric

shock.

Glossary

Bitstream

JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group)

This is the digital form of multi-channel audio data (e.g., 5.1 channel)

before it is decoded into its various channels.

This is a system used for compressing/decoding colour 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

feature of JPEG is less deterioration in picture quality considering

the degree of compression.

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.

LPCM (Linear PCM)

Dolby Digital

These are uncompressed digital signals, similar to those found on

CDs. LPCM sound is available when recording in XP mode.

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.

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. You can play MP3 you have recorded onto CD-R and

CD-RW.

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 television’s

speakers. Some discs prohibit down-mixing and this unit can then

only output the front two channels.

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.

DPOF (Digital Print Order Format)

DPOF is the standard printing format for still picture data taken by a

digital camera, etc. It is used for automatic printing at a photo

developing store or on your home printer.

Letterbox: Black bands appear at the top and

bottom of the picture so the picture

itself appears in an aspect ratio of

16:9.

Drive

In the instance of this unit, this refers to the disc (DVD), SD card

(SD) and PC card (PC). These perform the reading and writing of

data.

DTS (Digital Theater Systems)

Playback control (PBC)

If a Video CD has playback control, you can select scenes and

information with menus.

This surround system is used in many movie theaters. There is good

separation between the channels, so realistic sound effects are

possible.

(This unit is compatible with version 2.0 and 1.1.)

Dynamic range

Progressive/Interlace

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 listen at low

volumes but still hear dialogue clearly.

The PAL video signal standard has 576 (or 625) interlaced (I) scan

lines, whereas progressive scanning, called 576P (or 625P), uses

twice the number of scan lines. For the NTSC standard, these are

called 480I (or 525I) and 480P (or 525P) respectively.

Using progressive output, you can enjoy the high-resolution video

recorded on media such as DVD-Video.

Film and video

Your television must be compatible to enjoy progressive video.

DVD-Videos 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.

For PAL

Film is 25 frames per second.

Protection

You can prevent accidental erasure by setting writing protection or

erasure protection.

Video is 50 fields per second (two fields making up one frame).

For NTSC

Film is 24 or 30 frames per second, with motion picture film generally

being 24 frames per second.

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.

Video is 60 fields per second (two fields making up one frame).

Finalize

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 finalize

DVD-R on this unit.

After finalizing, the disc becomes play-only and you can no longer

record or edit.

TIFF (Tag Image File Format)

This is a system used for compressing/decoding colour still pictures.

A common format for storing high quality images on digital cameras

and other devices.

Folder

Thumbnail

This is a place on the DVD-RAM or memory card where groups of

data are stored together. In the case of this unit, it refers to the place

where still pictures (JPEG, TIFF) are stored.

This refers to a miniature representation of a picture used to display

multiple pictures in the form of a list.

VBR (Variable bitrate)

Formatting

This is a method of video recording that adjusts the bit rate

according to video signal.

Formatting is the process of making media such as DVD-RAM

recordable on recording equipment.

You can format the DVD-RAM and memory cards on this unit.

Formatting erases irrevocably all contents.

Frames and fields

Frames refer to the single images that constitute the video you see

on your television. Each frame consists of two fields.

Frame

Field

≥A frame still shows two fields, so there may be some blurring, but

picture quality is generally better.

RQT7450

≥A field still shows less picture information so it may be rougher, but

there is no blurring.
