Glossary
DecoderA decoder restores the coded audio signals on DVDs to normal.
This is called decoding.
Dolby DigitalThis is a method of coding digital signals developed by Dolby
Laboratories. Apart from stereo (2-channel) audio, these signals
can also be multi-channel audio. A large amount of audio
information can be recorded on one disc using this method.
Dolby Pro LogicA surround system where a 4-channel audio track is recorded as 
2 channels and then is restored to 4 channels for play. The
surround channel is monaural and can reproduce up to 7 kHz.
DTS (Digital Theater Systems)This surround system is used in many movie theaters around the
world. There is good separation between the channels, so realistic
sound effects are possible.
Dynamic rangeDynamic range is the difference between the lowest level of sound
that can be heard above the noise of the equipment and the highest
level of sound before distortion occurs.
Film and videoDVD-Videos are recorded using either film or video. Usually, film is
recorded at 24 frames per second, the rate movies are filmed at,
while video is recorded at 30 frames per second.
Frame still and field stillFrames are the still pictures that go together to make a moving
picture. There are about 30 frames shown each second.
One frame is made up of two fields. A regular television shows
these fields one after the other to create frames.
A still is shown when you pause a moving picture. A frame still is
made up of two alternating fields, so the picture may appear
blurred, but overall quality is high.
A field still is not blurred, but it has only half the information of a
frame still so picture quality is lower.
Interlace and progressive outputNTSC, the video signal standard, has 480 interlaced (I) scan lines,
whereas progressive scanning uses twice the number of scan lines.
This is called 480P. The video signals output from this unit’s
COMPONENT VIDEO OUT terminals (Y, P
B, PR) allow you to enjoy
higher quality pictures than if the signals were output from the
VIDEO OUT terminal or S VIDEO OUT terminal.
I/P/B
MPEG 2, the video compression standard adopted for use with
DVD-Video, codes frames using these 3 picture types.
I:Intra coded picture
This picture has the best quality and is the best to use when
adjusting the picture.
P: Predictive coded picture
This picture is calculated based on past I or P-pictures.
B:Bidirectionally-predictive coded picture
This picture is calculated by comparing past and future I and 
P-pictures so it has the lowest volume of information.
Linear PCM (pulse code modulation)These are uncompressed digital signals, similar to those found on
CDs.
Playback control (PBC)If a Video CD has playback control, you can select scenes and
information with menus.
WMA, MP3, and CD text information¡Discs must conform to ISO9660 level 1 or 2 (except for extended
formats).
¡This unit is compatible with multi-session but if there are a lot of
sessions it takes more time for play to start. Keep the number of
sessions to a minimum to avoid this.
¡The order tracks appear in the menus may differ to the order
shown on your computer.
¡Noise may occur when playing WMA files.
¡You cannot play WMA files that are copy protected.
¡This unit is not compatible with ID3 tags.
¡If you play an MP3 track that includes still picture data, it will take
some time before the music itself starts playing and the elapsed
time will not be displayed during this time. Even after the track
starts, the correct play time will not be displayed.

User memo:
Listening caution
Selecting fine audio equipment such as the unit you’ve just purchased is only the start of your musical enjoyment. Now it’s time to consider
how you can maximize the fun and excitement your equipment offers. This manufacturer and the Electronic Industries Association’s
Consumer Electronics Group want you to get the most out of your equipment by playing it at a safe level. One that lets the sound come
through loud and clear without annoying blaring or distortion–and, most importantly, without affecting your sensitive hearing.
We recommend that you avoid prolonged exposure to excessive noise.
Sound can be deceiving. Over time your hearing “comfort level” adapts to higher volumes of sound. So what sounds “normal” can actually be
loud and harmful to your hearing.
Guard against this by setting your equipment at a safe level BEFORE your hearing adapts.
To establish a safe level:
¡Start your volume control at a low setting.
¡Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it comfortably and clearly, and without distortion.
Once you have established a comfortable sound level:
¡Set the dial and leave it there.
Taking a minute to do this now will help to prevent hearing damage or loss in the future. After all, we want you listening for a lifetime.
