Glossary

Analogue audio

An electrical signal that directly represents sound. In contrast, digital audio can also 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 (i.e., the screen is almost square).

Widescreen models are 16:9 (the screen is almost twice as wide as its height).

Chapter

Just as a book is split up into several chapters, a title on an HDD/ DVD 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 colour as it is intended to be.

Also, due to compatibility with progressive video (576p/480p), you can experience higher-definition picture than that in interlace (576i/ 480i signal).

CPRM

(Content Protection for Recordable Media)

CPRM is a scrambling copy protection system for the protection of “copy-once” broadcast programmes (e.g. some satellite broadcasts).

Digital audio

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

Dolby Digital

A system developed by Dolby Laboratories that compresses digital sound. It works with stereo (2ch) or multi-channel audio.

DTS

(Digital Theater System)

DTS is a multi channel surround sound system. By connecting to DTS decoder, you can enjoy dynamic and realistic sound like movie theatre. DTS surround sound technologies were developed by DTS, Inc.

Finalise

To make DVDs that have been recorded playable in DVD players. It is possible to finalise DVD-RW/-R and DVD+RW/+R discs with this unit.

HDMI

(High Definition Multimedia

Interface)

A digital interface between audio and video source. It can transmit component video, audio, and control signal with one cable connection.

JPEG

(Joint Photographic Experts

Group)

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

MP3

(MPEG Audio Layer 3)

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

PBC (Video CD only) (Playback Control)

This function enables you to play back interactive software using a menu screen. See also “Title”.

PCM

(Pulse Code Modulation)

PCM is a format that converts audio into digital data. It is mainly used for Audio CDs and DAT. This unit can play back sounds as realistic as possible by converting even compressed Dolby Digital and MPEG audio to PCM.

Playlist

From this list, you can play back contents of a disc in your desired order or in sequence. It is also possible to directly search for a specific scene.

Progressive Scan (576p/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 (576i/ 480i) TV signals. Refer to page 19 and 78 for instructions on the Progressive Scan mode selection.

Region code

Regions associate discs and players with particular areas of the world. This unit will only play back 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 at which sound is measured by a specified interval to turn it into digital audio data. The number of samples in one second is defined as the sampling frequency. The higher the rate is, the better the possible sound quality.

Title

(HDD/DVD)

A collection of chapters on an HDD/ DVD. See also “Chapter”.

(Video CD)

The contents of a Video CD. When playing back a Video CD with the PBC function, the Title Menu will appear automatically.

Track

Audio CDs and Video CDs use tracks to divide the contents of a disc. The DVD equivalent is called a chapter. See also “Chapter”.

Video mode

Video mode is the same recording format as used on the DVD-Videos you purchase in local shops. You can play back the discs recorded in this format in most DVD players, however it offers only limited editing.

You will need to finalise discs recorded in Video mode before playing them back on other unit.
