Glossary

Chapter (page 9)

Sections of a pictur e or a m usic feature that are smaller than titles. A tit le i s comp osed of several chapters. Depending on the di sc, no chapters may be recorded.

Dolby Digital (page 22, 58)

Digital audio compression technology developed by Dolb y Laboratories. This technology conforms to multi-channel surround sound. The rear channel is stereo and there is a discr et e subwoofer channel in this format. Dolby Digital provides the same discrete channels of high qua lity digital audio found in “Dolby Digital” thea ter surround sound system s. G ood channel separat ion is realized because all of the channel data are recorded discretely and little deterioration is realized because all channel data pr ocessing is digital.

Dolby Surround (Pro Logic) (page 21)

Audio signal processing technology that Dolby Laboratories developed for surround sound. When the input signal contains a surround component, the Pro Logic process outputs the front, center and rear signals. The rear channel is m onaural.

DTS (page 22, 58)

Digital audio compression technology that Digital Theater Systems, Inc. developed. This technology conforms to multi-channel surround sound. The rear channel is stereo and there is a discr et e subwoofer channel in this format. DTS provides the same discrete channels of high quality digital audio. Good channel se paration is reali zed because all of the channel data is recorded discretely and little deterioration is re ali ze d becau se al l channel data proce ss i ng i s digital.

DVD (page 6)

A disc that contains up to 8 hours of moving pictures even though its diameter is the same as a CD. The data capacity of a single-layer and singlesided DVD is 4.7 GB (Giga Byte), which is 7 times that of a CD. The data capacity of a double-layer and single-sided DVD is 8.5

GB, a single-layer and double-sided DVD is

9.4 GB, and double-layer and double-sided DVD is 17GB. The picture data uses the MPEG 2 format, one of the worldwide standards of digital compression technology. The picture data is compressed to about 1/40 (average) of its original size. The DVD also uses a variable rate coding technology that changes t he data to be allocated according to the status of the picture. Audio information is recorded in a multi-channel format, such as Dolb y Digital, allowing you to en jo y a m ore real audio presence. Furthermore, various advanced fu nctions such as the multi-angle, multilingual, and Parental Cont rol functions are provid ed with the DVD.

DVD-RW (page 6)

A DVD-RW is a recordable and rewritable disc that is the same size as a DVD VIDEO. The DVD-RW ha s t w o di fferent modes: VR mode and Video mode. DVD-RWs created in Video mode have the same format as a DVD VIDEO, while discs created in VR (Video Recording) mode allow the contents to be programmed or edited.

DVD+RW (page 6)

A DVD+RW (plus RW) is a recordable and rewritable disc. DVD+RWs use a recording format that is comparable t o the DVD VIDEO format.

Index (CD)/Video Index (VIDEO CD) (page 12)

A number that divides a track into sections to easily locate the point you want on a CD or VIDEO CD. Depending on the disc, no index may be recorded .

Interlace format (page 17)

Interlace format shows every other line of an image as a single “field” and is the standard method for displaying images on television. The even number field shows the even numbered lines of an image, and the odd numbered field shows the odd numbered lines of an image.

Page 63

Progressive for m a t (pag e 17)

Compared to the Interlace format that alternately shows every other line of an image (field) to create one frame, the Progressive format shows the entire image at once as a single frame. This means that while the Interlace format can show 30 frames/60 fields in one second, the Pr ogressive format can show 60 frames in one second. The overall picture quality increases and still images, text, and horizontal lines appear shar per. This player is compatible with th e 480 progressive format.

Scene (page 9)

On a VIDEO CD with PBC (playback control) functions, the menu screens, moving pictures and still pi ct ur es are divided into sections called “scenes.”

Title (page 9)

The longest section of a picture or music feature on a DVD, movie, etc., in video software, or th e entire album in aud i o software.

Track (page 9)

Sections of a pictur e or a m u s ic feature on a CD or VIDEO CD (the le ngt h of a song).
