Panasonic DVD-K520D - Manuel (Page 4)

Features
■ Various Karaoke features
•Virtual Duet function (See page 22.)
Using a DVD Karaoke 5-channel disc on which two master vocals
have been recorded separately as, for example, the male part and
female part of a duet, this function makes it possible to play each of
the master vocal separately. You can practice the parts one at a time
or have fun singing duets with the master vocal as your partner.
•Guide Melody On/Off function (See page 23.)
The guide melody which plays the tune of the song has been record­
ed separately on some DVD Karaoke discs. Using this kind of disc,
you will find it easier to sing even along with songs that you’re not
familiar with when you set the function to ON, Alternatively, you can
sing to the accompaniment alone like a professional singer when you
set the function to OFF.
• Stage Mode (See page 21.)
In this mode, it is possible to create the kind of sound field effect that
would be produced as if you were singing on the stage.
• Bass Boost (See page 25.)
In this mode, you can give your Karaoke sound an extra dimension of
power which emphasizes the bass.
•Voice Change function (See page 23.)
Activating this function turns off the master vocal while you are sing­
ing and increases the volume automatically when you stop singing.
This function is convenient when practicing a new tune.
•One Touch Karaoke function (See page 23.)
Pressing the ONE TOUCH button decreases the volume of the vocal
recorded on non-Karaoke discs.
■ High picture quality
• 10 bit video D/A converter
With its 10 bit capability, this D/A converter reproduces fine images
faithfully.
•Component video output
When used with a compatible monitor, a video connection via the
component video output jacks of your new DVD/Video CD/CD player
is capable of the most precise color reproduction in a video signal.
■ High sound quality
•96 kHz/24 bit audio D/A converter
This player enables 96 kHz/24 bit linear PCM signals, which consti­
tute the highest specifications in the DVD standards, to be repro­
duced faithfully. To support 96 kHz sampling/24 bit sound, the
shaping noise of this multi-level digital sigma type of D/A converter is
kept flat up to 44 kHz, thus preventing the important audio signals
from being affected in any way. In terms of the bottom line, the sound
in all of its various modes is reproduced faithfully.
• Dolby Digital (AC-3)/dts (digital theater systems) digital
output (See page 16.)
By connecting a Dolby Digital {AC-3)/dts (digital theater systems) de­
coder or an amplifier incorporating a Dolby Digital/dts decoder, you
can enjoy high quality digital surround sound from Dolby Digital/dts
discs.
■ Advanced Virtual Surround Sound (VSS) function
(See page 40.)
Even when just two front speakers are being used, the user can simply
press the VSS (Virtual Surround Sound) button during playback of a
Dolby Digital DVD (2 channel and above) to provide a rear surround
effect. (This does not work with DVD Karaoke discs. In addition, this
effect may differ depending on the kind of DVD used.)
■ On-Screen Menu Icons (See page 30.)
By simply pressing the DISPLAY button on the remote control, informa­
tion on the DVO/Video CD/CD player and disc can be displayed on the
TV screen for easy identification. The player’s operations and settings
can be easily accessed by operating the cursor buttons on the remote
control while monitoring the TV screen. The color and position of the
On-Screen Menu Icons can be changed.
■ Dialogue Enhancer (See page 27.)
During playback of Dolby Digital/5.1 channel software, this function will
boost the sound level of the center channel so that it is easier to hear
the dialogue on movie software.

number of languages depends on the software.)

ed with multiple camera angles.)
