Glossary

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.

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-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.

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

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 on this unit.

Formatting

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

You can format DVD-RAM on this unit.

Formatting irrevocably erases all recordings on the disc.

Frame and field

Frame refers to the single images that constitute the video you see on your TV. Each frame consists of two fields.

Frame

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.

Linear PCM (LPCM)

These are uncompressed digital signals. CDs are recorded with 44.1 kHz/16 bit PCM, while DVDs use PCM between 48 kHz/16 bit and 96 kHz/24 bit, allowing playback with greater quality sound.

The linear PCM signals output from the DIGITAL AUDIO OUT OPTICAL terminal are stereo (2 channel).

LPCM sound is available when recording in XP mode.

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 MP3s you have recorded onto CD-R and CD-RW.

Pan & Scan/Letterbox

In general, DVD-Video are produced with the intention that they be viewed on a widescreen TV (16:9 aspect ratio), so images often don’t fit regular (4:3 aspect ratio) TVs. 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.

Letterbox:

Black bands appear at the top and bottom of the

 

picture so the picture itself appears in an aspect ratio

 

of 16:9.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Playback control (PBC)

If a Video CD has playback control, you can select scenes and information with menus.

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

Progressive/Interlace

NTSC, the video signal standard, has 480 interlaced (I) scan lines, whereas progressive scanning uses twice the number of scan lines. This is called 480P.

Using progressive output, you can enjoy the high-resolution video recorded on media such as DVD-Video.

Your TV must be compatible to enjoy progressive video.

Protection

You can prevent accidental erasure by setting writing protection or erasure protection.

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.

VBR (Variable Bitrate)

This is a method of video recording that adjusts the bit rate according to video signal.

Title/Chapter (DVD-Video)

DVD-Video are divided into large sections (titles) and smaller sections (chapters). The numbers allocated to these sections are called title numbers and chapter numbers.
