CPPM (Content Protection for Prerecorded Media)
A copy protection system used for DVD-Audio  les. This 
unit supports CPPM.
Decoder
A decoder restores the coded audio signals on DVDs to 
normal. This is called decoding.
DivX
DivX is a popular media technology created by DivX, Inc. 
DivX media  les contain highly compressed video with high 
visual quality that maintains a relatively small  le size.
Dolby Digital
This 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.
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 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.
Film and video
DVD-Videos are recorded using either  lm 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  lms.
Video:  Recorded at 25 frames /50  elds per second 
(PAL discs) or 30 frames /60  elds per second 
(NTSC discs). Generally appropriate for TV drama 
programs or animation.
Frame still and  eld still
Frames 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  elds. A regular television 
shows these  elds 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  elds, so the picture may 
appear blurred, but overall quality is high.
A  eld still is not blurred, but it has only half the information 
of a frame still so picture quality is lower.
HDMI (High-De nition 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-de nition video output 
(720p,1080p) from the HDMI AV OUT terminal. To enjoy 
high-de nition video, a high-de nition compatible television 
is required.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.
JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group)
This is a system used for compressing /decoding color 
still pictures. If you select JPEG as the storage system 
on digital cameras, etc., the data will be compressed to 
1/10 –1/100 of its original size. The bene t 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.
MPEG4
A compression system for use on mobile devices or a 
network, that allows highly ef cient 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/Interlaced
The 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 
television must be compatible to enjoy progressive video.
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.
WMA (Windows Media
TM Audio)
WMA is a compression format developed by Microsoft 
Corporation. It achieves the same sound quality as MP3 
with a  le size that is smaller than that of MP3.
