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 jacks: Jacks on the Recorder that send or receive sound to or from other equipment (VCR, Camcorder, etc.).

A/V: Audio/Video.

COAX (coaxial) OUT 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 con- nection provides the 5.1 channel surround sound as heard in movie theaters.

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 Jacks: The jacks on the Recorder that send or receive a picture to or from other equipment.The video is separated into three compo- nents (red, green, and blue) to deliver a high quality picture.

Digital: Sound that has been converted into numerical values. Digital sound is available when you use the Recorder’s COAX (coaxial) OUT or OPTICAL OUT jacks.

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

DVD+R: DVD+Recordable.These Discs can be recorded and finalized only once.

Letterbox: A TV aspect ratio setting (4:3). Displays the stretched video in full- width, with black bars at the top and bottom of the TV screen.This format is simi- lar to seeing a movie in a theater. The DVD case may advertise it as widescreen format.

MPEG: Motion Picture Experts Group. A collection of compression systems for digital audio and video.

OPTICAL OUT 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, which reduces adverse effects on external equip- ment. Keep the protective cap on the jack when the jack is not in use.

TruSurround: A system that simulates multi-channel sound via a two-channel connection (audio left and right).This allows you to enjoy multi-channel sound if your Stereo does not have a multi-channel decoder.
