Glossary
Analogue: Sound that has not been turned
into numbers. Analogue sound varies, while
digital sound has specific numerical values. These
jacks send audio through two channels, the left
and right.
Aspect ratio: The ratio of vertical and
horizontal sizes of a displayed image. The
horizontal vs. vertical ratio of conventional TVs. is
4:3, and that of wide-screens is 16:9.
AUDIO OUT Jacks: Jacks on the back of the
DVD System that send audio to another system
(TV, Stereo, etc.).
Bit Rate: The amount of data used to hold a
given length of music; measured in kilobits per
seconds, or kbps. Or, the speed at which you
record. Generally, 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.
Disc menu: A screen display prepared for
allowing selection of images, sounds, subtitles,
multi-angles, etc recorded on a DVD.
Dolby Digital: A surround sound system
developed by Dolby Laboratories containing up
to six channels of digital audio (front left and
right, surround left and right and centre).

surround sound system, but it is different from
Dolby Digital. The formats were developed by
different companies.
JPEG: A still-picture data compression system
proposed by the Joint Photographic Expert
Group, which features small decrease in image
quality in spite of its high compression ratio.
MP3: A file 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 CDR or CD-RW can contain about 10 times as
much data volume as a regular CD can.
Multichannel: DVD is specified to have each
sound track constitute one sound field.
Multichannel refers to a structure of sound
tracks having three or more channels.
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 analogue sound signal to digital
signal for later processing, with no data
compression used in conversion.
Playback control (PBC): Refers to the
signal recorded on video CDs or SVCDs for
controlling reproduction. By using menu screens
recorded on a Video CD or SVCD that
supports PBC , you can enjoy interactive-type
software as well as software having a search
function.
Plug and Play: First time power up to the
Tuner mode , the system will prompt the user to
proceed with the automatic installation of radio
stations by simply pressing the PLAY button on
the main unit.
Progressive Scan: It displays all the horizontal
lines of a picture at one time, as a signal frame.
This system can convert the interlaced video
from DVD into progressive format for
connection to a progressive display. It

Region code: A system for allowing discs to
be played back only in the region designated
