Analog Audio
An electrical signal that directly represents sound. 
Compare this to digital audio which can 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 (in other words, the TV screen 
is almost square); widescreen models are 16:9 (the TV 
screen is almost twice as wide as it is high).
Chapter
Just as a book is split up into several chapters, a title on a 
DVD is usually divided into chapters. See also “Title”.
Component Video Output
Each signal of luminance (Y) and component (PB/CB, PR/
CR) is independent to output so that you can experience 
picture color as it is.
Also, due to compatibility with progressive video 
(525p/480p), you can experience higher-density picture 
than that in interlace (525i/480i).
Digital Audio
An indirect representation of sound by numbers. During 
recording, the sound is measured at discrete intervals 
(44,100 times a second for CD audio) by an analog-
to-digital converter, generating a stream of numbers. 
On playback, a digital-to-analog converter generates 
an analog signal based on these numbers. See also 
“Sampling Frequency” and “Analog Audio”.
DivX®
DivX® is a codec (compression/decompression) that can 
compress images to a very small amount of data. 
Dolby® Digital
The system to compress digital sound developed by 
Dolby Laboratories. It offers you sound of 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.
Finalize
To make DVD, which have been recorded on, possible to 
play back in DVD players. 
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.
JPEG (joint photographic experts group)
JPEG is a method of compressing still image files. You can 
copy JPEG files on CD-RW/-R 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 from the computer and play back the 
files on this unit.
PCM (pulse code modulation)
The most common system of encoding digital audio, 
found on CD and DAT. Excellent quality, but requires a 
lot of data compared to formats such as Dolby Digital 
and MPEG audio. For compatibility with digital audio 
recorders (CD, MD and DAT) and AV amplifiers with 
digital inputs, this unit can convert Dolby Digital and 
MPEG audio to PCM. See also “Digital Audio”.
Progressive Scan (525p/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 
(525i/480i) TV signals. Refer to page 91 for instructions on 
selective progressive scan mode.
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 which sound is measured by a specified interval 
to turn into digital audio data. The numbers of sampling 
in one second defines as sampling frequency. The higher 
the rate, the better the sound quality.
S-Video Output
It delivers independently each signal of color(C) and 
luminance(Y) to TV as video signals, so that higher-quality 
picture will be gained.
Title (DVD only)
A collection of chapters on DVD. See also “Chapter”.
Track
Audio CD use tracks to divide up the content of a 
disc. The DVD equivalent is called a chapter. See also 
“Chapter”.
WMA (Windows Media™ Audio)
WMA is the audio compressing technology developed by 
Microsoft. You can copy WMA files on CD-RW/-R  from a 
computer and play them back on this unit.
