■Pan & Scan and Letterbox

In general, DVD Video is produced for viewing on a wide television screen with an aspect ratio of 16:9. This means you can now view most material with the intended aspect ratio on a wide-screen television.

This ratio will not fit on a standard television that has an aspect ratio of 4:3. Two picture styles, Pan & Scan and Letterbox, deal with this problem.

•Pan & Scan cuts off the left and right portions of the picture to fill the screen.

•Letterbox inserts black bands at the top and bottom of the picture to reproduce an aspect ratio of 16:9.

■S-Video signal

With the S-Video signal system, the video signal normally transmitted using a pin cable is separated and transmitted as the Y signal for the luminance and the C signal for the chrominance through the S-Video cable. Using the

S VIDEO jack eliminates video signal transmission loss and allows recording and playback of even more beautiful images.

■Title, Chapter (DVD Video)

DVD video lets you divide a disc in a big way by titles or a small way by chapters. Each division is either called a title number or a chapter number.
