Analog audio

An electrical signal that directly represents

sound. In contrast, digital audio which can

be an electrical signal,but is an indirect rep-

resentation of sound.Seealso Digital audio.

Aspect ratio

The width of aTV screen relative to its

height. Conventional TVs are 4:3 (in other

words, the screen is almost squate);

widescreen models are 16:9 (the screen is

almost twice aswide as it is high).

Chapter

Just as a hook is split up into several

chapters, a title on a DVD disc is usually

divided into chapters. See also Title.

Component video output

This is a video signal format that conveys

each of three principal colors of light

(red, blue and green) through different

signal lines.This allows the viewers to

experience picture colors as original as it

is.There are several signal formats,

including Y/PB/PRand Y/CdCm

CPRM ,(CpntentoProtection for

ecoruaDme _eula)

This is a format used to record copy-

once programs. By recording coded data

on the area of DVD discs that ordinary

writing software cannot write on, it pre-

vents copy-once programs from being

recorded repeatedly on different media.

Digital audio

An indirect representation of sound

by numbers. During recording, the

sound is measured at discrete inter-

vals (44, 100 times a second for CD

audio) by an analog-to-digital convert-

en generating a stream of numbers.

On playback, a digital-to-analog con-

verter generates an analog signal

based on these numbers. See also

Sampling frequency and Analog audio.

Domby Digital

The system developed by Doiby

Laboratories to compress digital sound.

It offers you sound of stereo(2ch) or

multi-channel audio (up to 5.1ch).

Finalize

To make recorded contents on DVD

discs possible to be played back on

DVD players.With this unit, it is possi-

ble to finalize DVD-RW/DVD-R discs.

MP3 (MPEG Audio Layer 3)

blP3 is a method of compressing flies.

You can copy blP3 files on CD-RW/R

discs from the computer and play back

the flies on this unit.

PCM (Pulse Code Modulation)

PCM is a format that converts audio

into digital data. it is mainly used for

Audio CDs and DAT.This unit can

_lay back sounds as realistic as possi-

le by converting even compressed

Dolby Digital and bIPEG audio to

PCH.

Pmaylist

From this list you can play back con-

tents of a disc in your desired order

or sequence.Also it allows to search

a specific scene direcdy.

Progressive Scan (52Sp/480p)

A type of display that does not split

each frame into fields, and instead scans

direcdy through all the scanlines of each

frame in order. Progressive Scan pro-

vides less flickering and higher image

resolution than traditional (525i/480i)

TV signals. Refer to page 15 for instruc-

tions on selective Progressive Scan

mode.

Regions code

Regions associate discs and players with

particular areas of the world.This unit

wil! only play back discs that have com-

patible region codes.You can find the

region code of your unit by looking at

the rear panel Some discs are compati-

ble with more than one region (or all

regions).

Sampling frequency

The rate which sound is measured by

a specified interval to turn it into digi-

tal audio data.The numbers of sam-

piing in one second defines as sam-

piing frequencyThe higher the rate,

the better the sound quality is.

SAP (Secondary Audio Program)

Sub-audio channel which is delivered

separately from main-audio channeLThis

audio channel is used as an alternate in

bilingual broadcasting.

S-Video output

It delivers independendy each signal of

color(C) and luminance(Y) toTV as

video signals, so that higher-quality pic-

ture wiil be materialized.

Titme (DVD only)

A collection of chapters on DVD disc,
