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 Receiver’s color system to
match that of your DVDs and your TV.

G Dolby Pro Logic Surround - A specially encoded two-channel
analog format that produces sound through four speakers (Front

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 ‘virtualizer’ DSP,
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.

expires, the warranty on all replaced and repaired parts also expires.
(In U.S.A., Puerto Rico, and U.S. Virgin Islands, all implied warranties,
including implied warranties of merchantability and fitness for a par-
ticular purpose, are limited in duration to the duration of this express
warranty. But, because some states do not allow limitations on how
long an implied warranty may last, this limitation may not apply to
you.)
