AC-3:Audio Coding 3, also known as Dolby Digital; a multi-channel digital audio compression system from Dolby Labs.

Analog: Sound that has not been turned into numbers. Analog sound varies, while digital sound has specific numerical values. Analog sound is available when you use the red and white audio jacks on your equipment. These jacks send audio through two channels, the left and right.

AUDIO OUT Jacks: Jacks on the rear of the DVD Recorder that send audio to another system (TV, Stereo Receiver, etc.).

A/V: Audio/Video.

CD: Compact Disc.

Chapter: A part of a Title.

COAX (coaxial) jack: Sends digital audio to a Stereo Receiver, allowing you to adjust the volume at the Receiver. The Receiver must have a coaxial in jack. This connection provides the 5.1 channel surround sound as heard in movie theaters.

COMPONENT VIDEO Jacks: The OUT jacks on the rear of the DVD Recorder send high-quality video to a TV that has Component Video In jacks. The IN jacks allow the Recorder to receive high-quality video from other equipment, such as a DVD Player.

Digital: Sound that has been converted into numerical values. Digital sound is available when you use the COAX (coaxial) or OPTICAL DIGITAL AUDIO OUT jacks on the Recorder. These jacks send audio through multiple channels, instead of just two channels as analog does.

Dolby Digital: A surround sound system that provides 5.1 channel sound as used in movie theaters.

DTS: Digital Theater Systems. This is a surround sound system, but it is different from Dolby Digital. The formats were developed by different companies.

DVD: Digital Video Disc.

DVD+RW: DVD+ReWritable. The disc standard used by the DVD Recorder.

i.LINK: Also known as ‘FireWire ’and ‘IEEE 1394.’ A cable for transfer of high bandwidth digital signals as used by Digital Video camcorders.

Index Picture Screen: A screen that gives an overview of a DVD+RW. An Index Picture represents each recording.

Letterbox: Widescreen format; a TV aspect ratio setting (4:3). Displays the video in full-width, with black bars at the top and bottom of the TV screen. This format is similar to seeing a movie in a theater. If the Disc does not include a letterbox format, selecting 4:3 letterbox may have no effect. (For example, some DVDs are two-sided, with one side playing in widescreen format and the other side playing in a normal format.) MPEG: Motion Picture Experts Group. A collection of compression systems for digital audio and video. OPTICAL Jack: Converts electrical signals into optical signals before sending the audio to the Stereo Receiver. Optical audio is not prone to external electrical influences and has less noise, which reduces adverse effects on external equipment. Be sure to keep the protective cap on the jack when the jack is not in use. This keeps dust out of the jack.

OTR: One-Touch Recording. Start a timed recording by pushing just one button; select the switch-off time in intervals of 30 minutes.

Pan & Scan: A TV aspect ratio setting (4:3). Displays the video with full-height picture, with one or both sides of the picture trimmed to fit on your TV screen. Some movie companies refer to this as “reformatting the picture to fit your TV screen.”

PBC: Playback Control. A special feature on a Video CD or Super VCD that enables interactive use.

PBS: Public Broadcast System. The channel transmits data for Automatic clock setting.

PCM: Pulse Code Modulation.A digital audio encoding system.

RGB: Red-Green-Blue. A top-quality video connection where red, green and blue components of a video signal are carried through separate wires. This also is referred to as the component video connection. S-Video: Produces a clearer picture by sending separate signals for the luminance and the color. If you con- nect the supplied S-Video cable, you will not need to use the supplied yellow video cable. You can use S- Video only if your TV has an S-Video In jack.

Title: A unit of recording on a Disc. A Title typically represents one recording on a DVD+RW.

TruSurround: A system that simulates multi-channel sound via a two-channel connection (audio left and right).

TV system: There are various systems for transmitting television signals, for example PAL, SECAM, and NTSC. NTSC is the most common color system in the United States of America. The TV system is country dependent. The Recorder automatically selects the right TV system.

VCD: Video Compact Disc

VCR: Video Cassette Recorder

VCR Plus+: Allows you to set a timer recording by entering a code from your TV guide.

VIDEO OUT Jack: Jack on the rear of the DVD Recorder that sends video (picture) to a TV.
