Glossary
Analogue: Sound that has not been turned into
numbers. Analogue sound varies, while digital sound
has specific numerical values. These jacks send audio
through two channels, the left and right.
PCM (Pulse Code Modulation): A system for
converting analogue sound signal to digital signal for
later processing, with no data compression used in
conversion.
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.).
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.
Plug and Play: After power up, the system will
prompt the user to proceed with the automatic
installation of radio stations by simply pressing the
PLAY button on the main unit.
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).
S-Video: Produces a clear picture by sending
separate signals for the luminance and the colour.
You can use S-Video only if yourTV has S- video In
jack.
Sampling Frequency: Frequency of sampling data
when analogue data is converted to digital data
Sampling frequency numerically represents how
many time the original analogue signal is sampled
per second.
Seating control: It gives the user a perfect sound
and movie experience anywhere in the room,
providing maximum flexibility and real total
immersion because the user can choose their
preferred seat.
Super Audio CD (SACD): This audio format is
based upon the current CD standards but includes a
greater amount of information which provides
higher quality sound. There are three types of discs:
single layer, double layer and hybrid discs. The
hybrid disc contains both standard audio CD and
Super Audio CD information.
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.
Clear voice: It enables the digital sound processor to
extract the voice dynamics in movie dialog on all 5
surround channels without compromising on the
location accuracy and the width of the surround sound.
ComponentVideo Out Jacks: Jacks on the back
of the DVD System that send high-quality video to a
TV that has ComponentVideo In jacks (R/G/B,
Y/Pb/Pr, etc.).
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
analogue 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 and centre).
DTS: DigitalTheatre Systems. This is a surround
sound system, but it is different from Dolby Digital.
The formats were developed by different companies.
MP3: A file format with a sound data compression
system.“MP3” is 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.
Surround: A system for creating realistic three-
dimensional sound fields full of realism by arranging
multiple speakers around the listener.
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 level: 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
software’s level is higher than the user-set level.
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.
