Aspect ratio (DVD)  
The aspect ratio is the ratio between the vertical and  
horizontal size of the picture displayed on a TV screen. The  
aspect ratio of normal TV screen is 4:3 while that of the  
wide-screen TV and HDTV screen is 16:9.

languages. With these discs, this unit can select one of the  
subtitle languages as desired during playback.  
DviX  
DivX is MPEG-4 based video compression technology  
developed by DivXNetworks, Inc. It can shrink digital video  
to size small enough to be transported over the internet,  
while maintaining high visual quality.  
Angle (DVD)  
Some DVDs contain scenes which have shot simultaneously  
from multiple camera angles. With these discs, the same  
scene can be viewed from each of these different angles.

Interlaced scan  
Dolby Digital  
In the conventional video system, a picture is shown on the  
screen in two halves. The interlaced scanning system places  
lines of the second half of the picture in-between lines of the  
first half of the picture.  
Dolby Digital provides multichannel surround sound in  
cinemas from 35 mm film and in the home from laser discs,  
DVDs, and digital broadcast television, cable, and satellite  
systems. It enables the transmission and storage of up to  
five full-range audio channels, plus a low-frequency effects  
channel(LFE), thus 5.1 channels, in less space than is  
required for just one linear PCM-coded channel on a  
compact disc.  
Progressive scan  
Progressive scanning displays all the horizontal lines of a  
picture at one time, as a single frame.  
Dolby Pro Logic  
Composite video  
Audio signal processing technology developed by Dolby  
Laboratories for surround sound.  
Dolby Pro Logic process outputs four channel(front left/right,  
center, surround) signals.  
A single video signal commonly used in most consumer  
video products that contains all luminance, color, and  
synchronization information.  
The surround channel is monaural.  
S-video  
A video signal which improves picture quality over the  
standard composite video signal.  
Manufactured under license from Dolby Laboratories.  
“Dolby”, “Pro Logic”, and the double-D symbol are  
trademarks of Dolby Laboratories.  
Component video  
Video signals with three channels of separate information  
that makes up the picture. There are some types of  
component video, such as Y/CB(Pb)/CR(Pr) and R/G/B.  
DTS (Digital Theater Systems)  
DTS is a newly-developed surround system which can  
handle more amount of data, providing better audio quality.

sound and better signal-to-noise ratio, thanks to the lower  
audio compression ratio format. It also provides wide  
dynamic range and better separation, resulting in  
magnificent sound.  
Linear PCM  
PCM stands for Pulse Code Modulation. Linear PCM is the  
usual digital method without compression, used for audio  
playback of audio CDs, DVD Videos, etc.
