reused if disassembled by a specialized company. Please  
observe the local regulations regarding the disposal of packag-  
ing materials, exhausted batteries and old equipment.

TV System (NTSC, PAL) 27  
DVDs are recorded according to a color system, the most common of  
which are NTSC and PAL. NTSC is the most common in the United States.  
Your TV also operates according to a color system.  
The DVD Receiver is compatible with both NTSC and PAL. However, to  
play a DVD, the color system of the DVD, the TV, and the DVD Receiver  
should match. If all three are not the same, the DVD may play in only black  
and white, the picture may roll continuously, or the picture may appear dis-  
torted.  
By adjusting TV System, you can set the DVD Receivers color system to  
match that of your DVDs and your TV.

SURROUND  
G DTS (Digital Theater Systems) Surround - A cinema sur-  
round sound format that offers superior digital audio perfor-  
mance. DTS offers more clarity and definition, especially for high-  
er tones. The better sound quality is a result of the limited sound  
compression (3:1 instead of 11:1 for Dolby Digital) and 20-bit res-  
olution.  
1
G Dolby Pro Logic Surround - A specially encoded two-channel  
analog format that produces sound through four speakers (Front  
Left, Center, Front Right, and a single/monaural Surround) when  
using a Dolby Pro Logic Decoder. Dolby Pro Logic Surround is  
compatible with two-channel (right and left) Stereos, but you will  
have sound only from two channels (the left and right).  
G Matrix - A new surround system that delivers four-channel sur-  
round sound (Front Left, Front Right, Surround Left, and  
Surround Right).  
G VSS (Virtual Surround Sound) - The ProLogic, MPEG, or  
Dolby Digital surround sound is processed by a virtualizerDSP,  
adding surround sound when using only the Front (left/right)  
speakers.  
G Stereo - All sound is reproduced and played through the Front  
left/right speakers. This enables standard stereo reproduction.

42 Glossary  
Analog: Sound that has not been turned into numbers. Analog sound  
varies, while digital sound has specific numerical values. Analog sound is  
available when you use the red and white audio jacks on your equipment.  
These jacks send audio through two channels, the left and right.  
AUDIO OUT Jacks: Jacks on the back of the DVD Receiver that send  
audio to another system (TV, Stereo, etc.).  
Bit Rate: The amount of data used to hold a given length of music; mea-  
sured 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.  
For example, an MP3 music file recorded at 32 kbps will record slowly, use  
the least Disc space, and have the poorest sound quality. But, an MP3  
music file recorded at 96 kbps will record quicker, use more Disc space,  
and have significantly better sound quality.  
CD: Compact Disc (audio).  
Coaxial jack: Sends digital audio to a Stereo, allowing you to adjust the  
volume at the Stereo. The Stereo must have a coaxial in jack. This connec-  
tion provides the 5.1 channel surround sound as heard in movie theaters.  
Component Video Out Jacks: Jacks on the back of the DVD Receiver  
that send high-quality video to a TV that has Component Video In jacks.  
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 that provides 5.1 channel sound  
as used in movie theaters.  
DTS: Digital Theater Systems. This is a surround sound system, but it is  
different from Dolby Digital. The formats were developed by different  
companies.  
DVD: Digital Video Disc.  
Letterbox: A TV aspect ratio setting (4:3). Displays the video in full-  
width, with black bars at the top and bottom of the TV screen. This format  
is similar to seeing a movie in a theater. If the Disc does not include a let-  
terbox format , selecting Letterbox may have no effect. (For example,  
some DVDs are two-sided, with one side playing in Letterbox and the  
other side playing in a normal format.)  
OPTICAL Jack: Converts electrical signals into optical signals before  
sending the audio to the Stereo. Optical audio is not prone to external  
electrical influences and has less noise, which reduces adverse effects on  
external equipment. Be sure to keep the protective cap on the jack when  
the jack is not in use. This keeps dust out of the jack.  
Pan & Scan: A TV aspect ratio setting (4:3). Displays the video with full-  
height picture, with one or both sides of the picture trimmed. Some movie  
companies refer to this as reformatting the picture to fit your TV screen.”  
Remote Control: The unit that came with your DVD Receiver and  
allows you to operate your DVD Receiver from a distance.  
S-Video: Produces a clear picture by sending separate signals for the  
luminance and the color. You can use S-Video only if your TV has an S-  
Video In jack.  
VIDEO OUT Jack: Jack on the back of the DVD Receiver that sends  
video to a TV.  
Widescreen: A TV aspect ratio setting (16:9). Displays the video appro-  
priately when you connect the DVD Receiver to a widescreen TV.
