Glossary

Analogue audio: Sound that has not been

turned into numbers. Analogue sound is

available if you use the AUDIO LEFT/RIGHT.

These red and white jacks 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-de 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 IN jacks: Red and white jacks on

the back of the unit that receive audio from

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.

Component video: Jacks on the back of

the unit that send out high-quality video to a

TV that has component video input jacks (R/

G/B, Y/Pb/Pr, etc.).

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

Logic II decoders, soundtracks will be able to

be encoded speci 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).

HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content

Protection) is a speci cation that provides a

secure transmission of digital contents

between different devices (to prevent

unauthorized copyright).

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 recognized by

their  le extension ‘JPG or JPEG’.
