	Glossary
Reference
	Bitstream
	This is the digital form of multi-channel audio data (e.g., 5.1 channel)
	before it is decoded into its various channels.
	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.
	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.
	Down-mixing
	This is the process of remixing the multi-channel audio found on
	some discs into two channels for stereo output. 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.
	DTS (Digital Theater Systems)
	This surround system is used in many movie theaters. There is good
	separation between the channels, so realistic sound effects are
	possible.
	Dynamic range
	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 dialog clearly.
	Film and video
	DVD-Video 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.
	Video is 50 fields per second (two fields making up one frame).
	For NTSC
RQT8212	Film is 24 or 30 frames per second, with motion picture film generally
	being 24 frames per second.
40
	Video is 60 fields per second (two fields making up one frame).

Finalize

Aprocess 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, DVD-RW (DVD-Video format) or +R on this unit.

After finalizing, the disc becomes play-only and you can no longer record or edit. You can record after formatting although it becomes play-only after finalizing, when you use DVD-RW.

Formatting

Formatting is the process of making media such as DVD-RAM recordable on recording equipment.

You can format DVD-RAM or DVD-RW (only as DVD-Video format) 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 Field

•A frame still shows two fields, so there may be some blurring, but picture quality is generally better.

•A field still shows less picture information so it may be rougher, but there is no blurring.

JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group)

This is a system used for compressing/decoding color 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.

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.
