Bitstream
This is the digital form of multi-channel audio data (e.g., 
5.1 channel) before it is decoded into its various channels.
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.
Decoder
A decoder restores the coded audio signals on DVDs to normal. 
This is called decoding.
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 multichannel audio. A large amount of audio 
information can be recorded on one disc using this method.
Dolby Pro Logic
A 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.
Down-mixing
This is the process of remixing the multi-channel audio found on 
some discs into two channels for stereo output. It is useful when 
you want to listen to the 5.1-channel audio recorded on DVDs 
through your television’s speakers. Some discs prohibit down-
mixing and this unit can then only output the front two channels.
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. 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-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 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 
finalize 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 DVD-RAM 
on this unit. Formatting erases irrevocably 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.
LPCM (Linear pulse code modulation)
These are uncompressed digital signals. This unit outputs linear 
PCM sound in 2 channels from the DIGITAL AUDIO OUT terminal.
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 with an aspect ratio of 16:9. This 
means you can view most material with the intended aspect ratio 
on a widescreen television. Material with this ratio will not fit onto a 
standard television with an aspect ratio of 4:3. 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.
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.
Subtitles
Written dialogue which appears at the bottom of the screen.
VBR (Variable bitrate)
This is a method of video recording that adjusts the bit rate 
according to video signal.
