speci c numerical values. These jacks send audio
through two channels, the left and right.

the higher the bit rate, or the higher the recording
speed, the 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

Pr, etc.).

compression ratio.

®

Networks, Inc., that

MP3: A  le format with a sound data compression
system. ‘MP3’ is the abbreviation of Motion Picture
Experts Group 1 (or MPEG-1) Audio Layer 3. By
using MP3 format, one CD-R or CD-RW can contain
about 10 times as much data volume as a regular CD
can.

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 software’s 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, with no data compression used in
conversion.

Playback control (PBC): Refers to the signal

Video CD or SVCD that supports PBC, you can enjoy
interactive-type software as well as software having a
