Analog audio

An electrical signal that directly represents sound. Compare this to digital audio which can be an electrical signal, but is an indirect representation of sound. See also Digital audio.

Aspect ratio

The width of a TV screen relative to its height. Conventional TVs are 4:3 (in other words, the screen is almost square); widescreen models are 16:9 (the screen is almost twice as wide as it is high).

Chapter

Just as a book is split up into several chapters, a title on a DVD disc is usually divided into chapters. See also Title.

Component video output

Each signal of luminance(Y) and component(Pb/Cb, Pr/Cr) is independent to output so that you can experience picture color as it is. Also, due to compatibility with progressive video (525p/480p), you can experience higher-density picture than that in interlace (525i/480i).

CPRM

(Content Protection for Recordable Media)

CPRM is a copy protection system with scramble system regarding the recording of “copy-once” broadcast programs (e.g. some satellite broadcasts).

Digital audio

An indirect representation of sound by numbers. During recording, the sound is measured at discrete intervals (44,100 times a second for CD audio) by an analog-to- digital converter, generating a stream of numbers. On playback, a digital-to-analog converter generates an analog signal based on these numbers. See also Sampling frequency and Analog audio.

Dolby Digital

The system to compress digital sound developed by Dolby Laboratories. It offers you sound of stereo(2ch) or Multi-channel audio.

Finalize

To make DVD discs, which have been recorded on, possible to play in DVD players. With this unit, it is possible to finalize DVD-R/DVD- RW discs.

MP3 (MPEG Audio Layer 3)

MP3 is a method of compressing files. You can copy MP3 files on CD-RW/R discs from the computer and play the files on this unit.

PCM

(Pulse Code Modulation)

The most common system of encoding digital audio, found on CDs and DAT. Excellent quality, but requires a lot of data compared to formats such as Dolby Digital and MPEG audio. For compatibility with digital audio recorders (CD, MD and DAT) and AV amplifiers with digital inputs, this unit can convert Dolby Digital and MPEG audio to PCM. See also Digital audio.

Playlist

From this list you can play contents of a disc as your desired order or in sequence. Also it is allowed to search a specific scene directly.

Progressive Scan (525p/480p)

A type of display that does not split each frame into fields, and instead scans directly through all the scanlines of each frame in order. Progressive Scan provides less flickering and higher image resolution than traditional (525i/480i) TV signals. Refer

to page 13 for instructions on selective Progressive Scan mode.

Regions code

Regions associate discs and players with particular areas of the world. This unit will only play discs that have compatible region codes. You can find the region code of your unit by looking on the rear panel. Some discs are compatible with more than one region (or all regions).

Sampling frequency

The rate which sound is measured by a specified interval to turn into digital audio data. The numbers of sampling in one second defines as sampling frequency. The higher the rate, the better the sound quality as possible as it is.

SAP

(Secondary Audio Program)

Sub audio channel which is delivered separately from main- audio channel. This audio channel is used as an alternate in bilingual broadcasting.

S-Video output

It delivers independently each signal of color(C) and luminance(Y) to TV as video signals, so that higher-quality picture will be gained.

Title (DVD only)

A collection of chapters on DVD disc. See also chapter.

Track

Audio CDs use tracks to divide up the content of a disc. The DVD equivalent is called a chapter. See also Chapter.
