Glossary

Analog audio

An electrical signal that directly represents sound. In contrast, digi- tal audio can be an electrical sig- nal, but is an indirect representa- tion of sound. See also Digital audio.

Aspect ratio

The width of a TV screen relative to its height. Conventional TVs are 4:3 (in other words, the screen is almost square); widescreen models are 16:9 (the screen is almost twice as wide as it is high).

Chapter

Just as a book is split up into sev- eral chapters, a title on a DVD disc is usually divided into chap- ters. See also Title.

Component video output

This is a video signal format that conveys each of three principal colors of light (red, blue and green) through different signal lines.This allows the viewers to experience picture colors as origi- nal a it was recorded.There are several signal formats, including Y/PB/PR and Y/CB/CR.

CPRM

(Content Protection for Recordable Media)

This is a format used to record copy-once programs. By recording coded data on the area of DVD discs that ordinary writing soft- ware cannot write on, it prevents copy-once programs from being recorded repeatedly on different media.

Digital audio

An indirect representation of sound by numbers. During record- ing, the sound is measured at dis- crete intervals (44, 100 times a second for CD audio) by an ana- log-to-digital converter, generating a stream of numbers. On playback, a digital-to-analog converter gen- erates an analog signal based on these numbers. See also Sampling frequency and Analog audio.

Dolby Digital

The system developed by Dolby Laboratories to compress digital sound. It offers you sound of stereo(2ch) or multi-channel audio (up to 5.1ch).

Finalize

To make recorded contents on DVD discs possible to be played back on DVD players.With this unit, it is possible to finalize DVD- R/DVD-RW discs.

MP3 (MPEG Audio Layer 3)

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

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 real- istic 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 sequence. Also it allows to search a specific scene directly.

Regions code

Regions associate discs and play- ers 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 at the rear panel. Some discs are compatible with more than one region (or all regions).

Sampling frequency

The rate which sound is measured by a specified interval to turn it into digital audio data.The num- bers of sampling in one second defines as sampling frequency.The higher the rate, the better the sound quality is.

SAP

(Secondary Audio Program)

Sub-audio channel which is deliv- ered separately from main-audio channel.This audio channel is used as an alternate in bilingual broad- casting.

S-Video output

It delivers independently each signal of color(C) and luminance(Y) to TV as video signals, so that higher-quali- ty picture will be materialized.

Title (DVD only)

A collection of chapters on DVD disc. See also chapter.

Track

Audio CDs use tracks to divide the content of a disc.The DVD equivalent is called a chapter. See also Chapter.
