Glossary
Analog: Sound that has not been turned into
numbers. Analog sound varies, while digital sound has
specific numerical values. These jacks send audio
through two channels, the left and right.
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.
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.).
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 compromizing 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
analog 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 center).
Parental control: 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.
PCM (Pulse Code Modulation): A system for
converting analog sound signal to digital signal for later
processing, with no data compression used in
conversion.
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.
A progressive-scanTV is needed to receive progressive
scan output from the player.
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 color. You
can use S-Video only if yourTV has S- video In jack.
Sampling Frequency: Frequency of sampling data
when analog data is converted to digital data Sampling
frequency numerically represents how many time the
original analog 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.
DTS: DigitalTheater Systems. This is a surround
sound system, but it is different from Dolby Digital. The
formats were developed by different companies.
JPEG: A still-picture data compression system
proposed by the Joint Photographic Expert Group,
which features small decrease in image quality in spite
of its high compression ratio.
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.
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.
