placement is critical to ensure an
optimum sound experience.
– To avoid magnetic interference, do not
position the front speakers too close to your
TV.
– The rear speakers are labeled as REAR
LEFT or REAR RIGHT.
A Place the front left and right speakers at
equal distances from the TV and at an
angle of approximately 45 degrees from
the listening position.
– The front speakers are labeled as

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.
JPEG: A very common digital still picture
format. A still picture data compression
system proposed by the Joint Photographic
Expert Group, which features a small
decrease in image quality in spite of its high
compression ratio.
Aspect ratio: The ratio of vertical and
horizontal sizes of a displayed image. The
horizontal vs. vertical ratio of conventional
TVs is 4:3, and that of wide-screens is 16:9.
MP3: A file format with a sound data
compression system. “MP3” is the
abbreviation of Motion Picture Experts
Group 1 (or MPEG-1) Audio Layer3. By
using the MP3 format, one CD-R or CD-RW
can contain about 10 times more data than a
regular CD.
Bit Rate: The amount of data used to hold
a given length of music; measured in kilobits
per second, 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.
Multi-channel: DVDs are formatted to
have each sound track constitute one sound
field. Multi-channel refers to a structure of
sound tracks having three or more channels.
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

three dimensional sound fields full of realism
by arranging multiple speakers around the
listener.
Dolby Surround Pro Logic II: It is an
improved matrix decoding technology that
provides better spatiality and directionality on
Dolby Surround program material, provides a
convincing three dimensional sound field on
conventional stereo music recordings and is
ideally suited to bring the surround experience
to automotive sound. While conventional
surround programming is fully compatible with
Dolby Surround Pro Logic II decoders, sound
tracks will be able to be encoded specifically to
take full advantage of Pro Logic II playback,
including separate left and right surround
channels. (Such material is also compatible with
conventional Pro Logic decoders).
Title: The longest section of a movie or
music feature on DVD. Each title is assigned
a title number, enabling you to locate the
