Terms of DVD/Video CD

Aspect Ratio

This is the width-to-height ratio of a TV screen. A regular display has an aspect ratio of 4:3. Wide- screen displays have an aspect ratio of 16:9, providing a bigger picture for exceptional pres- ence and atmosphere.

DTS

This stands for Digital Theater Systems. DTS is a surround system delivering multi-channel audio from up to 6 independent sources.

To enjoy discs featuring DTS audio recording, you must connect this unit’s optical digital out- put jacks to the optical digital input jacks of a DTS compatible amp or decoder.

Chapter

DVD titles are in turn divided into chapters which are numbered in the same way as the chapters of a book. With DVDs featuring chap- ters, you can quickly find a desired scene with chapter search.

Dolby Digital 1

Dolby Digital provides multi-channel audio from up to 5.1 independent channels. This system is the same as the Dolby Digital surround sound system used in theaters.

To enjoy Dolby Digital entertainment, you must connect this unit’s optical digital output jacks to the optical digital input jacks of a Dolby Digital compatible amp.

Linear PCM (LPCM)

This stands for Linear Pulse Code Modulation, which is the signal recording system used for music CDs. Compared to music CDs, which feature 44.1 kHz/16-bit recordings, DVDs feature

48kHz/16-bit – 96 kHz/24-bit recordings. The result is sound quality even higher than that provided by music CDs.

MPEG

This stands for Moving Pictures Experts Group, and is an international video image compres- sion standard. Some DVDs feature digital audio compressed and recorded using this system.

Multi-Angle

With regular TV programs, although multiple cameras are used to simultaneously shoot scenes, only images from one camera at a time are transmitted to your TV. Some DVDs feature scenes shot from multiple angles, letting you choose your viewing angle as desired.
