recorded repeatedly on different media.
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
an analog signal based on these num- bers. See also Sampling frequency and
Analog audio.

Regions associate discs and players with particular areas of the world. This unit will only play back discs that have compatible region codes. You can find the region code of your unit by looking at the rear panel. Some discs are compatible with more than one region (or
all regions).
Sampling frequency
The rate which sound is measured by a specified interval to turn it into digital audio data. The numbers of sampling in one second defines as sampling fre- quency. The higher the rate, the better
the sound quality is.
SAP (Secondary Audio Program)
Sub audio channel which is delivered separately from
nate in bilingual broadcasting.
It delivers independently each signal of color(C) and luminance(Y) to TV as video signals, so that
picture will be materialized.
