Glossary
Analogue audio: Sound that has not been 
turned into numbers. Analogue sound is 
available with you use the AUDIO LEFT/
RIGHT. These red and white sockets send 
audio through two channels, the left and 
right.
Aspect ratio: Aspect ratio refers to the 
length to height ratio of TV screens. The 
ratio of a standard TV is 4:3, while the ratio 
of a high-defi nition or wide TV is 16:9. The 
letter box allows you to enjoy a picture with 
a wider perspective on a standard 4:3 screen.
AUDIO OUT sockets: Red and white 
sockets on the back of the unit that send 
audio to another system (TV, Stereo, etc)..
Bit Rate: The amount of data used to hold 
a given length of music; measured in kilobits 
per second, or kbps. Or, the speed at which 
you record. Generally, the higher the bit 
rate, or the higher the recording speed, the 
better the sound quality. However, higher bit 
rates use more space on a disc.
Chapter: Sections of a picture or a music 
piece on a DVD that are smaller than titles. 
A title is composed of several chapters. Each 
chapter is assigned a chapter number 
enabling you to locate the chapter you want.
Composite video (CVBS): A single video 
signal commonly used in most consumer 
video products.
Disc menu: A screen display prepared for 
allowing a selection of images, sounds, 
subtitles, multi-angles, etc., recorded on a 
DVD.
DivX: The DivX code is a patent-pending, 
MPEG-4 based video compression 
technology, developed by DivX Networks, 
Inc., that can shrink digital video to sizes 
small enough to be transported over the 
internet, while maintaining high visual quality.Dolby Digital: A surround sound system 
developed by Dolby Laboratories containing 
up to six channels of digital audio (front left 
and right, surround left and right, centre and 
subwoofer).
Dolby Surround Pro Logic II: It is an 
improved matrix decoding technology that 
provides better spatiality and directionality 
on Dolby Surround programme material, 
provides a convincing three dimensional 
sound fi eld on conventional stereo music 
recordings and is ideally suited to bring the 
surround experience to automotive sound. 
While conventional surround programming 
is fully compatible with Dolby Surround Pro 
Logic II decoders, soundtracks will be able to 
be encoded specifi cally to take full advantage 
of Pro Logic II playback, including separate 
left and right surround channels. (Such 
material is also compatible with conventional 
Pro Logic decoders).
DTS: Digital Theatre Systems. This is a 
surround sound system, but it is different 
from the Dolby Digital. The formats were 
developed by different companies.
HDMI: High-Defi nition Multimedia Interface 
(HDMI) is a high-speed digital interface that 
can transmit uncompressed high defi nition 
video and digital multichannel audio. It 
delivers perfect picture and sound quality, 
completely free from noise. HDMI is fully 
backward-compatible with DVI.
As required by the HDMI standard, 
connecting to HDMI or DVI products 
without HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital 
Content Protection) will result in no Video 
or Audio output. 
HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content 
Protection) is a specifi cation that provides a 
secure transmission of digital contents 
between different devices (to prevent 
unauthorized copyright).

Glossary (c o n t i n u e d )
JPEG: A very common digital still picture 
format. A still-picture data compression 
system proposed by the Joint Photographic 
Expert Group, which features small decrease 
in image quality in spite of its high 
compression ratio. Files are recognised by 
their fi le extension ‘JPG or JPEG’.
MP3: A fi le format with a sound data 
compression system. ‘MP3’ is the 
abbreviation of Motion Picture Experts 
Group 1 (or MPEG-1) Audio Layer3. By 
using the MP3 format, one CD-R or CD-RW 
can contain about 10 times more data than a 
regular CD.
MPEG: Motion Picture Experts Group. A 
collection of compression systems for digital 
audio and video.
Multi-channel: DVDs are formatted to 
have each sound track constitute one sound 
fi eld. Multi-channel refers to a structure of 
sound tracks having three or more channels.
PBC: Playback Control. A system of 
navigating a Video CD/Super VCD through 
on-screen menus recorded onto the disc. 
You can enjoy interactive playback and 
searching.
Progressive Scan: The progressive scan 
displays twice the number of frames per 
second than in an ordinary TV system. It 
offers higher picture resolution and quality.
Region code: A system allowing discs to be
played only in the region designated. This 
unit will only play discs that have compatible 
region codes. You can fi nd the region code 
of your unit by looking at the product label. 
Some discs are compatible with more than 
one region (or ALL regions).Surround: A system for creating realistic 
three dimensional sound fi elds full of realism 
by arranging multiple speakers around the 
listener.

sending separate signals for the luminance 
and the colour. You can use S-Video only if 
your TV has an S-Video In socket.
