Glossary
Analog: Sound that has not been turned into
numbers. Analog 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: Red and white 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
second, 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.
