GLOSSARY

Analog Audio

An electrical signal that directly represents sound. Compare this to digital audio which can be an electrical signal, but is an indirect representation 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 TV screen is almost square); widescreen models are 16:9 (the TV screen is almost twice as wide as it is high).

Chapter (HDD/DVD)

Just as a book is split up into several chapters, a title on HDD/DVD is usually divided into chapters. See also “Title”.

Component Video Output

Each signal of luminance (Y) and component (PB/CB, PR/ CR) is independent to output so that you can experience picture color as it is.

Also, due to compatibility with progressive video (480p), you can experience higher-density picture than that in interlace (480i).

Digital Audio

An indirect representation of sound by numbers. During recording, the sound is measured at discrete intervals (44,100 times a second for CD audio) by an analog- to-digital converter, generating a stream of numbers. On playback, a digital-to-analog converter generates an analog signal based on these numbers. See also “Sampling Frequency” and “Analog Audio”.

Dolby Digital

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

Finalize

To make DVD, which have been recorded on, possible to play back in DVD players. With this unit, it is possible to finalize DVD+R, DVD-RW, and DVD-R.

HDMI (high definition multimedia interface)

A digital interface between audio and video source. It can transmit component video, audio, and control signal with one cable connection.

JPEG (joint photographic experts group)

JPEG is a method of compressing still image files. You can copy JPEG files on CD-RW/-R from a computer and play back the files on this unit.

MP3 (MPEG audio layer 3)

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

PBC (playback control) (video CD only)

This function enables you to play back interactive software using a menu screen. See also “Video CD”.

PCM (pulse code modulation)

The most common system of encoding digital audio, found on CD and DAT. Excellent quality, but requires a lot of data compared to formats such as Dolby Digital and MPEG audio. For compatibility with digital audio recorders (CD, MD and DAT) and AV amplifiers with digital inputs, this unit can convert Dolby Digital and MPEG audio to PCM. See also “Digital Audio”.

Progressive Scan (480p)

A type of display that does not split each frame into fields, and instead scans directly through all the scan lines of each frame in order. Progressive scan provides less flickering and higher image resolution than traditional (480i) TV signals. Refer to page 111 for instructions on selective progressive scan mode.

Region Code

Regions associate discs and players 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 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.

SAP (secondary audio program)

Sub-audio channel which is delivered separately from main-audio channel. This audio channel is used as an alternate in bilingual broadcasting.

S-Video Output

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

Title (HDD/DVD)

A collection of chapters on HDD/DVD. See also “Chapter”.

Track

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

Video CD

A digital format for store video data in compact disc.
