Glossary / Maintenance

Glossary
DecoderA decoder restores the coded audio signals on DVDs to normal. This is 
called decoding.
DivXDivX is a popular media technology created by DivX, Inc. DivX media files 
contain highly compressed video with high visual quality that maintains a 
relatively small file size.
Dolby DigitalThis is a method of coding digital signals developed by Dolby 
Laboratories. Apart from stereo (2-channel) audio, these signals can also 
be 5.1-channel sound. 
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. This unit can 
determine which type has been used, then uses the most suitable method 
of progressive output.
Film:Recorded at 25 frames per second (PAL discs) or 24 frames per 
second (NTSC discs). (NTSC discs recorded at 30 frames per 
second as well). 
Generally appropriate for motion picture films.
Video:Recorded at 25 frames/50 fields per second (PAL discs) or 
30 frames/60 fields per second (NTSC discs). Generally 
appropriate for TV drama programs or animation. 
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 TV 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.
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 (720p, 1080i, 1080p) from the HDMI AV OUT 
terminal. To enjoy high-definition video, a high-definition compatible TV is 
required.
I/P/BMPEG 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.
JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group)This is a system used for compressing/decoding colour still pictures. The 
benefit of JPEG is less deterioration in picture quality considering the 
degree of compression.
Linear PCM (pulse code modulation)These are uncompressed digital signals, similar to those found on CDs. 
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.
MPEG4A compression system for use on mobile devices or a network, that allows 
highly efficient recording at a low bit rate.
Playback control (PBC)If a Video CD has playback control, you can select scenes and 
information with menus.
Progressive/InterlacedThe PAL video signal standard has 576 interlaced (i) scan lines, whereas 
progressive scanning, called 576p, uses twice the number of scan lines. 
For the NTSC standard, these are called 480i and 480p respectively.
Using progressive output, you can enjoy the high-resolution video 
recorded on media such as DVD-Video.
Your TV must be compatible to enjoy progressive video.
Sampling frequencySampling 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.
∫To  c l e a n  d i s c s
Wipe with a damp cloth and then wipe dry.
∫Clean this unit with a soft, dry cloth.
≥Never use alcohol, paint thinner or benzine to clean this unit.
≥Before using chemically treated cloth, carefully read the instructions that 
came with the cloth.
Do not use commercially available lens cleaners as they may cause 
malfunction. Cleaning of the lens is generally not necessary although 
this depends on the operating environment.
Maintenance
DODO NOT
Before moving the unit, ensure the disc tray is empty. Failure to 
do so will risk severely damaging the disc and the unit.
