OthersGlossary

Analog audio

An electrical signal that directlyrepresents sound. Compare thisto digital audio which can be anelectrical signal, but is an indirectrepresentation of sound. See alsoDigital audio.

Aspect ratio

The width of a TV screen relativeto its height. Conventional TVs are4:3 (in other words, the screen isalmost square); widescreen modelsare 16:9 (the screen is almosttwice as wide as it is high).

Chapter

Just as a book is split up into sev-eral chapters, a title on a DVDdisc is usually divided into chap-ters. See also Title.

Component video output

Each signal of luminance(Y) andcomponent(PB/CB, PR/CR) is inde-pendent to output so that you canexperience picture color as it is.Also, due to compatibility withprogressive video (480p), you canexperience higher-density picturethan that in interlace (480i).

CPRM(Content Protection forRecordable Media)

CPRM is a copy protection sys-tem with scramble system regard-ing the recording of “copy-once”broadcast programs (e.g. somesatellite broadcasts).

Digital audio

An indirect representation ofsound by numbers. During record-ing, the sound is measured at dis-crete intervals (44, 100 times asecond for CD audio) by an ana-log-to-digital converter, generatinga stream of numbers. On playback,a digital-to-analog converter gen-erates an analog signal based onthese numbers. See also Samplingfrequency and Analog audio.

Dolby Digital

The system to compress digitalsound developed by DolbyLaboratories. It offers you soundof stereo(2ch) or multi-channelaudio (up to 5.1ch).

DTS (Digital Theater System)

DTS is a 5.1channel surroundsound system, but it is differentfrom Dolby Digital.The formatswere developed by Digital TheaterSystem, Inc.

Finalize

To make DVD discs, which havebeen recorded on, possible to playin DVD players.With this unit, it ispossible to finalize DVD-RW/DVD-R discs.

MP3 (MPEG Audio Layer 3)

MP3 is a method of compressingfiles.You can copy MP3 files onCD-RW/R discs from the comput-er and play the files on this unit.

PCM(Pulse Code Modulation)

The most common system ofencoding digital audio, found onCDs and DAT. Excellent quality,but requires a lot of data com-pared to formats such as DolbyDigital and MPEG audio. For com-patibility with digital audiorecorders (CD, MD and DAT) andAV amplifiers with digital inputs,this unit can convert Dolby Digitaland MPEG audio to PCM. See alsoDigital audio.

Playlist

From this list you can play con-tents of a disc as your desiredorder or in sequence.Also it isallowed to search a specific scenedirectly.

Progressive Scan (480p)A type of display that does notsplit each frame into fields, andinstead scans directly through allthe scanlines of each frame inorder. Progressive Scan providesless flickering and higher imageresolution than traditional (480i)TV signals. Refer to page 14 forinstructions on selectiveProgressive Scan mode.

Regions codeRegions associate discs and play-ers with particular areas of theworld.This unit will only play discsthat have compatible regioncodes.You can find the regioncode of your unit by looking onthe rear panel. Some discs arecompatible with more than oneregion (or all regions).

Sampling frequencyThe rate which sound is measuredby a specified interval to turn intodigital audio data.The numbers ofsampling in one second defines assampling frequency.The higher therate, the better the sound qualityas possible as it is.

SAP(Secondary Audio Program)Sub-audio channel which is deliv-ered separately from main-audiochannel.This audio channel is usedas an alternate in bilingual broad-casting.

S-Video outputIt delivers independently each sig-nal of color(C) and luminance(Y)to TV as video signals, so thathigher-quality picture will begained.

Title (DVD only)A collection of chapters on DVDdisc. See also chapter.

TrackAudio CDs use tracks to divideup the content of a disc.The DVDequivalent is called a chapter. Seealso Chapter.
