Glossary  
Analog: Sound that has not been turned into  
numbers. Analog sound varies, while digital sound has  
specific numerical values. These jacks send audio  
through two channels, the left and right.  
Aspect ratio: The ratio of vertical and horizontal  
sizes of a displayed image.The horizontal vs. vertical  
ratio of conventionalTVs. is 4:3, and that of wide-  
screens is 16:9.  
AUDIO OUT Jacks: Jacks on the back of the DVD  
System that send audio to another system (TV, Stereo,  
etc.).  
Bit Rate: The amount of data used to hold a given  
length of music; measured in kilobits per seconds, or  
kbps. Or, the speed at which you record. Generally,  
the higher the bit rate, or the higher the recording  
speed, the better the sound quality. However, higher  
bit rates use more space on a Disc.  
Chapter: Sections of a picture or a music piece on a  
DVD that are smaller than titles. A title is composed  
of several chapters. Each chapter is assigned a chapter  
number enabling you to locate the chapter you want.  
ComponentVideo Out Jacks: Jacks on the back of  
the DVD System that send high-quality video to aTV  
that has ComponentVideo In jacks (R/G/B, YPbPr,  
etc.).  
MP3: A file format with a sound data compression  
system.MP3is the abbreviation of Motion Picture  
Experts Group 1 (or MPEG-1) Audio Layer 3. By using  
MP3 format. one CD-R or CD-RW can contain about  
10 times as much data volume as a regular CD can.  
Multichannel: DVD is specified to have each sound  
track constitute one sound field. Multichannel refers  
to a structure of sound tracks having three or more  
channels.  
Parental Control: A function of the DVD to limit  
playback of the disc by the age of the users according  
to the limitation level in each country. The limitation  
varies from disc to disc; when it is activated, playback  
will be prohibited if the softwares level is higher than  
the user-set level.  
PCM (Pulse Code Modulation): A system for  
converting analog sound signal to digital signal for  
later processing, with no data compression used in  
conversion.  
Playback control (PBC): Refers to the signal  
recorded on video CDs or SVCDs for controlling  
reproduction. By using menu screens recorded on a  
Video CD or SVCD that supports PBC, you can enjoy  
interactive-type software as well as software having a  
search function.  
Disc menu: A screen display prepared for allowing  
selection of images, sounds, subtitles, multi-angles, etc  
recorded on a DVD.  
Digital: Sound that has been converted into  
numerical values. Digital sound is available when you  
use the DIGITAL AUDIO OUT COAXIAL or  
OPTICAL jacks.These jacks send audio through  
multiple channels, instead of just two channels as  
analog does.  
Dolby Digital: A surround sound system developed  
by Dolby Laboratories containing up to six channels  
of digital audio (front left and right, surround left and  
right, center and subwoofer).  
Progressive Scan: It displays all the horizontal lines  
of a picture at one time, as a signal frame. This system  
can convert the interlaced video from DVD into  
progressive format for connection to a progressive  
display. It dramatically increases the vertical  
resolution.  
Region code: A system for allowing discs to be  
played back only in the region designated beforehand.  
This unit will only play discs that have compatible  
region codes. You can find the region code of your  
unit by looking on the product label. Some discs are  
compatible with more than one region (or ALL  
regions).  
DTS: DigitalTheatre Systems. This is a surround  
sound system, but it is different from Dolby Digital.  
The formats were developed by different companies.  
JPEG: A very common digital still picture format.A  
still-picture data compression system proposed by the  
Joint Photographic Expert Group, which features small  
decrease in image quality in spite of its high  
compression ratio.  
Title: The longest section of a picture or music  
feature on DVD, music, etc., in video software, or the  
entire album in audio software. Each title is assigned a  
title number enabling you to locate the title you want.  
VIDEO OUT jack: Jack on the back of the DVD
