Glossary 41

Analog: Sound that has not been turned into numbers. Analog sound varies, while digital sound has specific numerical values. Analog sound is available when you use the red and white audio jacks on your equipment. These jacks send audio through two channels, the left and right.

AUDIO OUT Jacks: Jacks on the back of the DVD Receiver that send audio to another system (TV, Stereo, etc.).

Bit Rate: The amount of data used to hold a given length of music; mea- sured in kilobits per seconds, or kbps. Or, the speed at which you record. Generally, the higher the bit rate, or the higher the recording speed, the better the sound quality. However, higher bit rates use more space on a Disc.

For example, an MP3 music file recorded at 32 kbps will record slowly, use the least Disc space, and have the poorest sound quality. But, an MP3 music file recorded at 96 kbps will record quicker, use more Disc space, and have significantly better sound quality.

CD: Compact Disc (audio).

Coaxial jack: Sends digital audio to a Stereo, allowing you to adjust the volume at the Stereo. The Stereo must have a coaxial in jack. This connec- tion provides the 5.1 channel surround sound as heard in movie theaters.

Component Video Out Jacks: Jacks on the back of the DVD Receiver that send high-quality video to a TV that has Component Video In jacks.

Digital: Sound that has been converted into numerical values. Digital sound is available when you use the DIGITAL AUDIO OUT COAXIAL or OPTICAL jacks. These jacks send audio through multiple channels, instead of just two channels as analog does.

Dolby Digital: A surround sound system that provides 5.1 channel sound as used in movie theaters.

DTS: Digital Theater Systems. This is a surround sound system, but it is different from Dolby Digital. The formats were developed by different companies.

DVD: Digital Video Disc.

Letterbox: A TV aspect ratio setting (4:3). Displays the video in full- width, with black bars at the top and bottom of the TV screen. This format is similar to seeing a movie in a theater. If the Disc does not include a let- terbox format , selecting Letterbox may have no effect. (For example, some DVDs are two-sided, with one side playing in Letterbox and the other side playing in a normal format.)

OPTICAL Jack: Converts electrical signals into optical signals before sending the audio to the Stereo. Optical audio is not prone to external electrical influences and has less noise, which reduces adverse effects on external equipment. Be sure to keep the protective cap on the jack when the jack is not in use. This keeps dust out of the jack.

Pan & Scan: A TV aspect ratio setting (4:3). Displays the video with full- height picture, with one or both sides of the picture trimmed. Some movie companies refer to this as “reformatting the picture to fit your TV screen.”

Remote Control: The unit that came with your DVD Receiver and allows you to operate your DVD Receiver from a distance.

S-Video: Produces a clear picture by sending separate signals for the luminance and the color. You can use S-Video only if your TV has an S- Video In jack.

VIDEO OUT Jack: Jack on the back of the DVD Receiver that sends video to a TV.

Widescreen: A TV aspect ratio setting (16:9). Displays the video appro- priately when you connect the DVD Receiver to a widescreen TV.
