Troubleshooting—Continued

The manufacturer expressly disclaims any responsibility for damages (including but not lim- ited to CD rental fees) incurred because of your inability to make a satisfactory recording due to a malfunction of this device. Before making an important recording, you should verify that recording occurs correctly.

This device contains sophisticated microcomputer functionality that in rare cases may mal- function due to interference, noise, or static electricity from an external source.

If this occurs, unplug the power cord, wait at least five seconds, and then connect the power cord once again.

■To return DVD-related settings to their default state (the factory settings) 1 Remove the disc so that the display section indicates “No Disc”

2 While holding down the (Stop) button, press the STANDBY/ON button

The display will indicate “INITIALIZE” for approximately seven seconds, and will then indicate “COMPLETE.”

DVD-related settings have now been set to their default state (the factory settings).

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 screen is almost square); wide- screen models are 16:9 (the screen is almost twice as wide as it is high).

Digital audio

An indirect representation of sound by num- bers. During recording, the sound is measured at discrete intervals (44,100 times a second for CD audio) by an analog-to-digital con- verter, 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 Using a maximum of 5.1 channels of audio, this high quality surround system is used in many of the finer movie theaters around the world.

The on-screen display shows which channels are active, for example showing 3/2.1. The 3 being the two front channels and the center channel; the 2 being the surround channels, and the .1 being the LFE channel.

DRM

DRM (digital rights management) is a type of server software developed to enable secure distribution of paid content over the web, recently incorporated by WMA (Windows Media Audio).

DTS

DTS stands for Digital Theater Sys- tems. DTS is a surround system different from Dolby Digital that has become a popular surround sound format for movies.
