45 RQT7619 INFO Glossary CPRM (Content Protection for Recordable Media) CPRM is technology used to protect broadcasts that are allowed to be recorded only once. Such broadcasts can be recorded only with CPRM compatible recorders and discs. Dolby Digital This is a method of coding digital signals developed by Dolby Labo- ratories. 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. When recording on this unit Dolby Digital (2 channel) is the default audio. Dolby Pro Logic II Dolby Pro Logic II is an advanced decoder that derives 5 channel surround (Left, Center, Right, Left and Right Surround) from any stereo program material, whether or not it has been specifically Dolby Surround encoded. Pro Logic II provides two full-range surround channels, as opposed to Pro Logic’s single surround channel. Down-mixing This is the process of remixing the multi-channel audio found on some discs into two channels output. Some discs prohibit down-mix- ing and this unit can then only output the front two channels. Drive In the instance of this unit, this refers to the hard disk (HDD) and DVD. These perform the reading and writing of data. DTS (Digital Theater Systems) This surround system is used in many movie theaters. There is good separation between the channels, so realistic sound effects are pos- sible. Dynamic range Dynamic 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. Dynamic range compression means reducing the gap between the loudest and softest sounds. This means you can listen at low volumes but still hear dialog clearly. Film and video DVD-Video 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 is 24 or 30 frames per second, with motion picture film generally being 24 frames per second. Video is 60 fields per second (two fields making up one frame). Finalize A process that makes play of a recorded CD-R, CD-RW or DVD-R etc. possible on equipment that can play such media. You can final- ize DVD-R on this unit. You cannot record onto or edit finalized discs. Formatting Formatting is the process of making media such as DVD-RAM recordable on recording equipment. You can format the HDD and DVD-RAM on this unit. Formatting irrevocably erases all recordings on the disc.Frames and fields Frames refer to the single images that constitute the video you see on your television. Each frame consists of two fields. ≥A frame still shows two fields, so there may be some blurring, but picture quality is generally better. ≥A field still shows less picture information so it may be rougher, but there is no blurring. HDD (Hard disk drive) This is a mass data storage device used in computers, etc. A disk with a surface that has been treated with magnetic fluid is spun and a magnetic head is brought in close proximity to facilitate the reading and writing of large amounts of data at high speed. LPCM (Linear PCM) These are uncompressed digital signals, similar to those found on CDs. LPCM sound is available when recording in XP mode. MP3 (MPEG Audio Layer 3) An audio compression method that compresses audio to approximately one tenth of its size without any considerable loss of audio quality. You can play MP3 you have recorded onto CD-R and CD-RW. Pan&Scan/Letterbox In general, DVD-Video are produced with the intention that they be viewed on a widescreen television (16:9 aspect ratio), so images often don’t fit regular (4:3 aspect ratio) televisions. Two styles of picture, “Pan & Scan” and “Letterbox”, deal with this problem. Pan&Scan: The sides are cut off so the picture fills the screen. Letterbox: Black bands appear at the top and bottom of the picture so the picture itself appears in an aspect ratio of 16:9. 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.) Progressive/Interlace NTSC, the video signal standard, has 480 interlaced (I) scan lines, whereas progressive scanning uses twice the number of scan lines. This is called 480P. Using progressive output, you can enjoy the high-resolution video recorded on media such as DVD-Video. Your television must be compatible to enjoy progressive video. Protection You can prevent accidental erasure by setting writing protection or erasure protection. 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. VBR (Variable bitrate) This is a method of video recording that adjusts the bit rate according to video signal.Frame Field Field = + Language code list Enter the code with the numbered buttons.
