DISC HANDLING
• Handle the discs so that fingerprints and dust do not adhere to the surfaces of the discs.
• Always store the disc in its protective case when it is not used.

define the cause of malfunction.
• With an AM radio:
Tune an AM radio to a band with no broadcasting. Press a button on remote control toward the
radio. Sound will be fluttering when you press any key and the radio receives the signal. This
means the remote control unit is working.
• With a digital camera (including built-in camera of cellular phone):
Direct a digital camera to remote control, press and hold a button on remote control. If infrared

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 screen
is almost square); widescreen
models are 16:9 (the screen is
almost twice as wide as it is high).

Just as a book is split up into
several chapters, a title on a
DVD disc is usually divided into
chapters. See also Title.

progressive video (525p/480p),
you can experience higher-density

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-todigital 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.

Glossary
Dolby Digital
The system to compress digital
sound developed by Dolby
Laboratories. It offers you sound of
stereo(2ch) or Multi-channel audio.
Finalize
To make DVD discs, which have
been recorded on, possible to play

This function enables you to play
back interactive software using a
menu screen. See also Video CD.
PCM (Pulse Code Modulation)
The most common system of
encoding digital audio, found on
CDs 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 68 for instructions on
selective Progressive Scan mode.
Regions code
Regions associate discs and
players with particular areas of the
world. This unit will only play 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 as possible as it is.
SAP
(Secondary Audio Program)
Sub-audio channel which is
delivered separately from mainaudio channel. This audio channel
is used as an alternate in bilingual
broadcasting.
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
disc. See also chapter.
Track
Audio CDs use tracks to divide up
the content of a disc. The DVD
equivalent is called a chapter. 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.
