CHAPTER
A title is subdivided into many sections, each section is numbered, and specific parts of video
presentations can be searched quickly using these numbers.
TITLE

TRACK
Numbers are assigned to the tracks, which are recorded on Video CDs and CDs.
dts
Digital Theatre System is a 5.1-channel surround sound system, which is widely used in movie
theatres around the world. It enables the bit rate to be increased to provide good sound quality.
Multi Angle
Some DVD discs contain the various scenes that have been simultaneously shot from a number of
different angles.
Dolby Digital
A versatile and popular digital audio coder developed by Dolby Laboratories, Inc. It allows the use of
low data rates while still achieving excellent sound quality for 1 to 5.1 channels of audio.
Dolby Pro Logic
A popular active decoder for creating up to four channels of audio from Dolby Surround-encoded
2-channel material.
10
PCM
Linear PCM is a signal-recording format used in a CD, While CD is recorded in 44.1 kHz/16 bit, a DVD
is recorded in 48 KHz/16 bit up to 96 KHz/24 bit.
Bitstream
A digital signal that comes out of CD and DVD players. Bitstreams can contain Dolby Digital, dts, PCM,

DOWNMIX
In some listening situations, the audio output channel configuration will not match the encoded

program. The downmix takes the information in the channels which do not have corresponding outputs
and mixes this information into the remaining channels.
S-VIDEO
The S-VIDEO output separates the color (C) and luminance (Y) signals before transmitting them to the
TV set in order to achieve a sharper picture. So this must be selected from the menu to enable the SVIDEO output to function.
