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. 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. AUDIO OUT Jacks: Jacks on the back of the DVD System that send audio to another system (TV set, Stereo, etc.). 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 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. Component Video Out Jacks: Jacks on the back of the DVD System that sends high-quality video to a TV set that has Component Video In jacks (R/G/B, Y/Pb/Pr, etc.). Disc menu: A screen display prepared for the selection of images, sound, 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). DTS: Digital Theater Systems. This is a surround sound system, but 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, MPE is the abbreviation of Motion Picture Experts Group 1 (or MPEG-1) Audio Layer 3. Through the MP3 format, one CD-R or CD-RW can contain about 10 times as much data volume as a regular CD can. Multichannel: DVD is specified to have all sound tracks constitute one sound field. Multichannel refers to a structure of sound tracks having three or more channels. 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 softwares 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 without data compression. Playback control (PBC): Refers to the signal recorded on video CDs or SVCDs for reproduction control. By using screen menus recorded on a Video CD or SVCD that supports PBC, you can enjoy interactive-type software as well as software having a search function. Region code: A system allowing discs to be played only in preset regions. This unit will only play discs that have compatible region codes. You can find the region code of your unit from 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 luminance and the color. You can use S-Video only if your TV set has S-Video In jack. Sampling Frequency: Frequency of data sampling when analog data is converted to digital data. Sampling frequency numerically represents how many times the original analog signal is sampled per second. Surround: A system for users to create 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. VIDEO OUT jack: Jack on the back of the DVD System that sends video to TV.
