Glossary
Analogue audio
An electrical signal that directly 
represents sound. In contrast, 
digital audio can also be an 
electrical signal, but is an indirect 
representation of sound. See also 
Digital audio.
Aspect ratio
The width of a TV screen relative to 
its height. Conventional TVs are 4:3 
(i.e., the screen is almost square). 
Widescreen models are 16:9 (the 
screen is almost twice as wide as its 
height).
Chapter
Just as a book is split up into 
several chapters, a title on a DVD 
disc is usually divided into chapters. 
See also Title.
Component video output
Each signal of luminance(Y) and 
component (P
B/CB, PR/CR) is 
independent to output so that you 
can experience picture colour as it 
is.
Also, due to compatibility with 
progressive video (576p/480p), you 
can experience higher-density 
picture than that in interlace (576i/
480i).
CPRM 
(Content Protection for 
Recordable Media)
CPRM is a scrambling copy 
protection system for the protection 
of “copy-once” broadcast 
programmes (e.g. some satellite 
broadcasts).
Digital audio
An indirect representation of sound 
using numbers. During recording, 
the sound is measured at discrete 
intervals (44,100 times a second for 
CD audio) by an analogue-to-digital 
converter, generating a stream of 
numbers. On playback, a digital-to-
analogue converter generates an 
analogue signal based on these 
numbers. See also Sampling 
frequency and Analogue audio.
Dolby Digital
A system developed by Dolby 
Laboratories that compresses 
digital sound. It works with stereo 
(2ch) or multi-channel audio.
DTS 
(Digital Theater System)
DTS is a multi channel surround 
sound system. By connecting to 
DTS decoder you can enjoy 
dynamic and realistic sound like 
movie theatre. DTS surround sound 
technologies were developed by 
DTS, Inc.Finalise
To make DVDs that have been 
recorded playable in DVD players. It 
is possible to finalise DVD-RW/-R 
and DVD+RW/+R discs with this 
unit.
HDMI 
(high definition multimedia 
interface)
A digital interface between audio 
and video source. It can transmit 
component video, audio, and control 
signal with one cable connection.
INSTANT SKIP
This unit can skip TV commercials 
during DVD Video playback. Once 
[INSTANT SKIP] is pressed, the 
start point will be set forward 30 
seconds and playback resume 
automatically. (You can press 
[INSTANT SKIP] up to 6 times.)
JPEG
(Joint Photographic Experts 
Group)
JPEG is a method of compressing 
still image files. You can copy JPEG 
files on CD-RW/-R discs from a 
computer and play back the files on 
this unit.
MP3 
(MPEG Audio Layer 3)
MP3 is a method of compressing 
files. You can copy MP3 files on 
CD-RW/-R discs from a computer 
and play back the files on this unit.
PBC (Video CD only)
(Playback Control)
This function enables you to play 
back interactive software using a 
menu screen. See also Title.
PCM 
(Pulse Code Modulation)
PCM is a format that converts audio 
into digital data. It is mainly used for 
Audio CDs and DAT. This unit can 
play back sounds as realistic as 
possible by converting even 
compressed Dolby Digital and 
MPEG audio to PCM.
Playlist
From this list you can play back 
contents of a disc in your desired 
order or in sequence. It is also 
possible to directly search for a 
specific scene.
Progressive Scan (576p/480p)
A type of display that does not split 
each frame into fields, and instead 
scans directly through all the 
scanlines of each frame in order. 
Progressive Scan provides less 
flickering and higher image 
resolution than traditional (576i/
480i) TV signals. Refer to pages 20 
and 74 for instructions on the 
Progressive Scan mode selection.Region code
Regions associate discs and 
players with particular areas of the 
world. This unit will only play back 
discs that have compatible region 
codes. You can find the region code 
of your unit by looking on the rear 
panel. Some discs are compatible 
with more than one region (or all 
regions).
Sampling frequency
The rate at which sound is 
measured by a specified interval to 
turn it into digital audio data. The 
number of samples in one second is 
defined as the sampling frequency. 
The higher the rate is, the better the 
possible sound quality.
Title
(DVD)
A collection of chapters on a DVD. 
See also chapter.
(Video CD)
The contents of a Video CD. When 
playing back a Video CD with the 
PBC function, the Title menu will 
appear automatically.
Track
Audio CDs and Video CDs use 
tracks to divide the contents of a 
disc. The DVD equivalent is called a 
chapter. See also Chapter.
Video mode
Video mode is the same recording 
format as used on the DVD-Videos 
you purchase in local shops. You 
can play back the discs recorded in 
this format in most DVD players, 
however it offers only limited 
editing.
You will need to finalise discs 
recorded in Video mode before 
playing them back on other unit.
VR mode
A basic recording format for 
DVD-RW. VR mode offers 
advanced editing, and you can 
record and edit material repeatedly, 
however it is playable only on VR 
mode compatible unit. Finalisation 
is recommended before playing 
them back on other unit.
+VR mode
A recording format for 
DVD+RW/+R.
+VR mode offers basic editing, and 
it is playable on most DVD players.
Finalisation is recommended before
