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

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
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.
Chapter: Sections of a picture or a music

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, center and

format. 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.

compression system. “MP3” is the abbreviation
of Motion Picture Experts Group 1 (or MPEG-

1) Audio Layer 3. By using the MP3 format.
One CD-R or CD-RW can contain about 10
times more data then a regular CD.
Parental control: Limits Disc play according

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

an S-Video In jack.
Sampling Frequency: Frequency of
sampling data when analog data is converted to
digital data Sampling frequency numerically
represents how many time the original analog
signal is sampled per second.
Surround: A system for creating realistic
three-dimensional sound fields full of realism
by arranging multiple speakers around the
listener.
