PCM (Pulse Code Modulation)

Regions (DVD-Video and BD-ROM)
These associate discs and players with particular areas of the world. This unit will only play discs that have a compatible region code (i.e., the same code as your player). 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).
Note that the region systems for DVD and BD are not the same.
Sampling frequency
The rate at which sound is measured to be turned into digital audio data. The higher the rate, the better the sound quality, but the more digital information is generated. For example, a sampling frequency of 44.1 kHz means 44 100 samples (measurements) per second. See also Digital audio.
Subnet mask
The IP address is divided into the network address part and the host address part. The subnet mask is expressed as ‘255.255.255.0’. In most cases, the subnet mask is automatically assigned by the DHCP server.
