44 Glossary

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 Receiver, etc.).

CD: Compact Disc.

Chapter: A part of a Title.

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 Y CB CR Jacks: The Out jacks on the rear of the DVD Player that send high-quality video to a TV that has Component Video In jacks.

Digital: Sound that has been converted into numerical values. Digital sound is available when you use the COAXIAL or OPTICAL jacks on the Player.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.

DVD: Digital Video Disc.

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.)

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, reducing adverse effects on external equipment. (Keep the protective cap on the jack when the jack is not in use.)

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 some Video CDs/Super Video CDs that enables interactive use.

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 the picture 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.

Title: A unit of recording on a DVD.

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.
