AUDIO IN jacks: Red and white jacks on the back of the unit that receive audio from another system (TV, Stereo, etc.).

Bit Rate: The amount of data used to hold a given length of music; measured in kilobits per second, or kbps. Or, the speed at which you record. Generally, the higher the bit rate, or the higher the recording speed, the better the sound quality. However, higher bit rates use more space on a disc.

Dolby Surround Pro Logic II: It is an improved matrix decoding technology that provides better spatiality and directionality on Dolby Surround program material, provides a convincing three dimensional sound fi eld on conventional stereo music recordings and is ideally suited to bring the surround experience to automotive sound. While conventional surround programming is fully compatible with Dolby Surround Pro Logic II decoders, soundtracks will be able to be encoded specifi cally to take full advantage of Pro Logic II playback, including separate left and right surround channels. (Such material is also compatible with conventional Pro Logic decoders.)

EasyLink: Philips EasyLink uses the HDMI CEC industry standard protocol to share functionalities between the unit and its connected devices. This feature is only available if you connect this unit to a HDMI CEC compliant TV with a HDMI cable.

HDMI: High-Defi nition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) is a high-speed digital interface that can transmit uncompressed high defi nition video and digital multichannel audio. It delivers perfect picture and sound quality, completely free from noise. HDMI is fully backward-compatible with DVI.

As required by the HDMI standard, connecting to HDMI or DVI products without HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection) will result in no Video or Audio output.
