Glossary
DivX
DivX is a popular media technology created by DivX, Inc. DivX media files contain 
highly compressed video with high visual quality that maintains a relativ ely small file 
size.
Down-mixing
This is a process of remixing the multi-channel audio (surround sound) on some discs 
into two channels. When you want to listen to the audio on a DVD with a 5.1 channel 
digital surround track through your television speakers, the down-mixed audio will be 
output.
Film and video
DVD-Videos are recorded using either film or video. This unit can determine which type 
has been used, then uses the most suitable method of progressive output.
Film: Recorded at 24 frames per second. (Recorded at 30 frames per second as well). 
Generally appropriate for motion picture films.
Video: Recorded at 30 frames/60 fields per second. Generally appropriate for TV drama 
programs or animation.
HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface)
HDMI is a next-generation digital interface for consumer electronic products. Unlike 
conventional connections, it transmits uncompressed digital video and audio signals on 
a single cable. This unit supports high-definition video output (1080p,1080i) from HDMI 
AV OUT terminal. To enjoy high-definition video a high definition compatible television 
is required.
HDMI can transmit more video data in Deep Color mode for expressing more colors.
To enjoy video in Deep Color mode a television which supports Deep Color mode is 
required.
Connected to the Deep Color compatible television, this unit can automatically output 
video in Deep Color mode.
MPEG4
A compression system for use on mobile devices or a network, that allows highly 
efficient recording at a low bit rate.
Sampling frequency
Sampling is the process of converting the heights of sound wave (analog signal) 
samples taken at set periods into digits (digital encoding). Sampling frequency is 
the number of samples taken per second, so larger numbers mean more faithful 
reproduction of the original sound.
Playback control (PBC)
If a Video CD has playback control, you can select scenes and information with menus.
(This unit is compatible with version 2.0 and 1.1.)
