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);

widescreen models are 16:9 (the

screen is almost twice as wide as

it is high).

Chapter

Just as a book is split up into sev-

eral chapters, a title on a DVD

disc is usually divided into chap-

ters. See also Title.

Digital audio

An indirect representation of

sound by numbers. During

recording, the sound is measured

at discrete intervals (44, 100

times a second for CD audio) by

an analog-to-digital converter,

generating a stream of numbers.

On playback, a digital-to-analog

converter generates an analog sig-

nal based on these numbers. See

also Sampling frequency and

Analog audio.

Dolby Digital

With multichannel audio, this high

quality surround system is used in

many movie theaters around the

world.

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 com-

pared to formats such as Dolby

Digital and MPEG audio. For com-

patibility with digital audio

recorders (CD, MD and DAT)

and AV amplifiers with digital

inputs, this unit can convert

Dolby Digital and MPEG audio to

PCM. See also Digital audio.

Regions code

Regions associate discs and play-

ers with particular areas of the

world. This unit will only play

discs that have compatible region

codes. 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).

Title (DVD only)

A collection of chapters on DVD

disc. See also chapter.

Track

Audio CDs and Video CDs use

tracks to divide up the content of

a disc. The DVD equivalent is

called a chapter. See also Chapter.
