On playback, a digital-to-analog converter gen- erates an analog signal based on these numbers. See also Sampling frequency and Analog audio.

Others

Regions code

Regions associate discs and play- ers with particular areas of the world.This unit will only play discs that have compatible region codes.You can find the region code of your unit by looking on 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 into digital audio data.The numbers of sampling in one second defines as sampling frequency.The higher the rate, the better the sound quality as possible as it 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
