Glossary
Analogue: Sound that has not been turned 
into numbers. Analogue sound varies, while 
digital sound has specifi c numerical values. 
These sockets send audio through two 
channels, the left and right.
Aspect ratio: The ratio of vertical and 
horizontal sizes of a displayed image. The 
horizontal vs. vertical ratio of conventional 
TVs is 4:3, and that of wide-screens is 16:9.
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.
Disc menu: A screen display prepared for 
allowing a selection of images, sounds, 
subtitles, multi-angles, etc to be recorded on 
a DVD.
DivX: The DivX code is a patent-pending, 
MPEG-4 based video compression 
technology, developed by DivXNetworks, 
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.
JPEG: A very common digital still picture 
format. A still picture data compression 
system proposed by the Joint Photographic 
Expert Group, which features a small 
decrease in image quality in spite of its high 
compression ratio.
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 
unauthorised copyright).
