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 Player that send audio to another system (TV, Stereo, etc.). The jacks are red and white.

CD: Compact Disc.

Chapter: A part of a Title.

COAXIAL jack: Sends digital audio to a Stereo, allowing you to adjust the volume at the Stereo.The Stereo must have a Coaxial In jack.This connection provides the 5.1 channel surround sound as heard in movie theaters. The COAXIAL jack on the DVD Player is black.

Color 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.

Component Video Y Pb Pr Jacks: The Video Out jacks on the rear of the DVD Player that send high-quality video to a TV that has Component Video In jacks. The jacks on the DVD Player are red, blue, and green.

Digital: Sound that has been converted into numerical values. Digital sound is available when you use the Player’s COAXIAL or OPTICAL jack, which sends audio through multiple channels instead of two channels as analog does.

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

DVD: Digital Video Disc.

Letter Box: 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 letter box format, selecting letter box may have no effect. Some DVDs are two-sided, with one side playing in widescreen format and the other side playing in a normal (pan & scan) format.

Optical Jack: Converts electrical signals into optical signals before sending the audio to the Stereo. Optical audio is not prone to external electrical influences and has less noise. Keep the protective cap on the jack when it is not in use; this keeps dust out of the jack.

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.”
