    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
