A tag added to the end of a filename to indi- cate the type of file. For example, “.mp3” indi- cates an MP3 file.

ISO 9660 format

International standard for the volume and file structure of CD-ROM discs.

A file format used for still images, such as photographs and illustrations. JPEG files are identified by the file extension “.jpg” or “.JPG”. Most digital cameras use this format.

MLP / Packed PCM (DVD-Audio only)

MPEG audio

An audio format used on Video CDs and some DVD discs. This system can convert MPEG audio to PCM format for wider compatibility with digital recorders and AV amplifiers. See also PCM (Pulse Code Modulation).

The most common system of encoding digital audio, found on CDs and DAT. Excellent quality, but requires a lot of data compared to formats such as Dolby Digital and MPEG audio. See also Digital audio.

Regions (DVD-Video only)

These associate discs and players with partic- ular areas of the world. This system will only play discs that have compatible region codes. You can find the region code of your system by looking on the rear panel. Some discs are compatible with more than one region (or all regions).

S1 S-video output

This S-video signal format includes aspect ratio information (4:3 or 16:9) within the video signal.

S2 S-video output

S2 is an enhanced version of S-video which, in addition to aspect ratio information, contains letterbox / pan & scan information.

Widescreen TVs which are compatible with S2 S-video automatically switch to the appropriate mode according to the signal.
