When playing a DVD recorded with Dolby Digital audio, the distances from the listening position to the
center and surround speakers should ideally be identical to those of all other speakers except for the
subwoofer. The delay time setting makes it possible to compensate for the difference in distances of actual
speakers by delaying the audio output from the center speaker and surround speakers so that the sounds
from all speakers reach the listening position at the same timing. (The delay time adjustment is available
only with Dolby Digital.)

DTS Digital Surround™ is a discrete 5.1 channel digital
audio format available on CD, LD, and DVD software
which consequently cannot be decoded and played
back inside most CD, LD, or DVD players. For this
reason, when DTS-encoded software is played back
through the analog outputs of the CD, LD, or DVD
player, excessive noise will be exhibited. To avoid
possible damage to the audio system, proper
precautions should taken by the consumer if the analog
outputs are connected directly to an amplification
system. To enjoy DTS Digital Surround™ playback, an
external 5.1 channel DTS Digital Surround™ decoder
system must be connected to the digital output (S/P
DIF, AES/EBU, or TosLink) of the CD, LD or DVD
player.

Linear PCM (Pulse Code Modula-
tion): Audio signal format without
using compression. In the DVD
which has a very large disc capacity,
the linear PCM signal using high
sampling rate can be recorded.

sound can be reproduced more faith-
fully when the quantization bit
count is larger.
well as 2-channel stereo, and capable
of recording a large amount of au-
dio data efficiently in a disc.
Letterbox (DVD): Method of display-
ing a horizontally-long picture re-
corded in 16:9 aspect ratio on a 4:3
TV screen by attaching bands at the
top and bottom of the screen and
displaying the horizontally-long pic-
ture at the center of screen.
DTS : Digital surround system devel-
Bitstream (DVD): This is the generic
name given for the flow of data
based on a standard such as Dolby
Digital, DTS, MPEG, etc.
oped by Digital Theater Systems, Inc.
Packed PCM : The packed PCM
(P.PCM) signal is obtained by com-
pressing the linear PCM signal fea-
turing large data amount and high
sampling rate. With this compres-
sion, the signal before compression
can be restored perfectly.
MPEG (Moving Picture Expert
Group) (DVD, VCD): A digital
video and audio compression and
decompression system which is stan-
dardized as an international stan-
dard.
Frame (DVD, VCD): Each frame of a
moving picture, that is displayed 30
times a second with NTSC and 25
times a second with PAL. These TV
formats reproduce moving pictures
by displaying still pictures sequen-
tially.
Downmixing: Conversion of multi-
channel audio signals of DVD or
DTS-CD into 2-channel stereo sig-
nals.
Aspect ratio: The ratio between the
horizontal and vertical sizes of pic-
ture displayed on a TV screen. The
aspect ratio of ordinary TV is 4:3, and
that of widescreen TV is 16:9.
Sampling rate: Sampling refers to con-
verting an analog signal into digital
signal by slicing the analog signal
into fine parts at a certain time in-
terval and digitizing every sliced part.
The sampling rate is the count of slic-
ing per second. The original sound
can be reproduced more faithfully
when the sampling rate is higher.
Downconversion: Conversion of PCM
signal with high sampling rate such
as 96 kHz and 192 kHz into a signal
with a sampling rate of 48 kHz or
44.1 kHz.
Field (DVD, VCD): Part of a frame
obtained by diving the video data of
each frame by two. Each frame of
ordinary TV is constitute by display-
ing the fields alternately.
Pan & scan (DVD): Method of display-
ing a horizontally-long picture re-
corded in 16:9 aspect ratio on a 4:3
TV screen by trimming part of picture.
In general, the trimming positions
for pan & scan are determined uni-
formly by the reproducing device.
However, the pan & scan of DVD al-
lows the software producer to specify
the trimming positions to be used
in playback.
Decoder: A device for restoring stan-
dard audio signal from audio data
recorded based on coding into DVD
data, etc. This processing is referred
to as decoding.
Frame still/Field still (DVD, VCD):
Types of still pictures obtained by
temporarily stopping a moving pic-
ture. The frame still picture may pro-
duce blur in the picture because it
displays two specific fields alter-
nately, but the picture quality is
higher. The field still picture has
Quantization bit: The quantization bit
count refers to the number used in
digitizing the sliced parts obtained
by slicing the analog signal as de-
scribed above. The quantization bit
count is the number of bits used in

lower picture quality because it uses
half the picture information of frame
still, but is not accompanies with
picture blur.
Dynamic range: Difference between
the minimum reproducible audio
signal and maximum reproducible
audio signal.
IPB display (DVD): With the MPEG2
which is one of the video display
methods of DVD, each picture is di-
vided into the following three pic-
ture types before being coded in digi-
tal signal.
I-picture (in-frame coding): This
is the standard video and can con-
stitute a picture by itself. As the high-
est picture quality can be obtained,
the still image of I-picture is most
suitable for use when adjusting the
picture quality.
P-picture (forward prediction
coding): Picture calculated based on
past pictures (I-picture or P-picture).
B-picture (bidirectional predic-
tion coding): Picture calculated by
comparing the previous and next
pictures (I-pictures or P-pictures).
This picture type contains least
amount of video information.
