Analog Audiog
An electrical signal that directly represents sound.
Compare this to digital audio which can be an electricalsignal, but is an indirect representation of sound. See also“Digital Audio”.
Aspect Ratiop
The width of a TV screen relative to its height. 
Conventional TVs are 4:3 (in other words, the TV screen
is a
lmost square); widescreen models are 16:9 (the TV 
screen is almost twice as wide as it is high).
Chapterp
Just as a book is split up into several chapters, a title on a
DVD is usually divided into chapters. See also “Title”.
Component Video Outputpp
Each signal of luminance (Y) and component (PB/CB, PR/CR) is independent to output so that you can experience picture color as it is.Also, due to compatibility with progressive video (480p),you can experience higher-density picture than that in 
interlace (480i).
Digital Audiog
An indirect representation of sound by numbers. During
recording, the sound is measured at discrete intervals
(44,100 times a second for CD audio) by an analog-to-digital converter, generating a stream of numbers. 
On playback, a digital-to-analog converter generates an analog signal based on these numbers. See also “Sampling Frequency” and “Analog Audio”.
Dolby® Digitalyg
The system to compress digital sound developed byDolby Laboratories. It offers you sound of stereo(2ch) or
multi channel audio.
DTS® (Digital Theater System)gy
DTS® is a multi channel surround sound system. By 
connecting to DTS decoder you can enjoy dynamic andrealistic sound like movie theatre. DTS surround soundtechnologies were developed by DTS, Inc.
Finalize
To make DVD, which have been recorded on, possible to
play back in DVD players.
HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface)g
A digital interface between audio and video source. It cantransmit component video, audio, and control signal withone cable connection.
JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group)gp p p
JPEG is a method of compressing still image files. You can 
copy JPEG 
files on CD-RW/-R from a computer and play
back the files on this unit.
MP3 (MPEG audio layer 3)y
MP3 is a method of compressing files. You can copy MP3 files on CD-RW/-R from the computer and play back thefiles on this unit.
PCM (Pulse Code Modulation)
The most common system of encoding digital audio,found on CD and DAT. Excellent quality, but requires alot of data compared to formats such as Dolby Digitaland MPEG audio. For compatibility with digital audiorecorders (CD, MD and DAT) and AV amplifiers withdigital inputs, this unit can convert Dolby Digital andMPEG audio to PCM. See also “Digital Audio”.
Progressive Scan (480p)gp
A type of display that does not split each frame into fields, and instead scans directly through all the scanlinesof each frame in order. Progressive scan provides lessflickering and higher image resolution than traditional(480i) TV signals. Refer to page 90 for instructions onselective progressive scan mode.
Region Codeg
Regions associate discs and players with particular areasof the world. This unit will only play back discs that havecompatible region codes. You can find the region codeof your unit by looking on the rear panel. Some discs arecompatible with more than one region (or all regions).
Sampling Frequencypg q y
The rate which sound is measured by a specified intervalto turn into digital audio data. The numbers of samplingin one second defines as sampling frequency. The higherthe rate, the better the sound quality.
S-Video Outputp
It delivers independently each signal of color(C) andluminance(Y) to TV as video signals, so that higher-qualitypicture will be gained.
Title (DVD only)y
A collection of chapters on DVD. See also “Chapter”.
Track
Audio CD use tracks to divide up the content of a disc. The DVD equivalent is called a chapter. See also “Chapter”.

WMA (Windows Media™ Audio)
WMA is the audio compressing technology developed by
Microsoft. You can copy WMA files on CD-RW/-R from a 
computer and play them back on this unit.
+VR mode
A recording format for DVD+RW/+R. +VR mode offers basic editing, and it is playable on most DVD players. Finalizationis recommended before playing them back on other unit.
