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 sev- eral chapters, a title on a DVD disc is usually divided into chap- ters. See also Title.

Component video output

Each signal of luminance(Y) and component(PB/CB, PR/CR) is inde- pendent 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 pic- ture than that in interlace (525i/480i).

CPRM

(Content Protection for Recordable Media)

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

Digital audio

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

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 deliv- ered separately from main-audio channel.This audio channel is used as an alternate in bilingual broad- casting.

S-Video output
