Analog audio
An electrical signal that directly represents
sound. In contrast, digital audio which can be an
electrical signal, but is an indirect representation
of sound. See also Digital audio.
Aspect ratio
The width of a TV screen relative to its height.
Conventional TVs are 4:3 (in other words, the
screen is almost square); widescreen models
are 16:9 (the screen is almost twice as wide as
it is high).
Chapter
Just as a book is split up into several chapters, a
title on a DVD disc is usually divided into chap-
ters. See also Title.
Component video output
This is a video signal format that conveys each
of three principal colors of light (red, blue and
green) through different signal lines. This allows
the viewers to experience picture colors as
original as it is. There are several signal formats,
including Y/PB/PR and Y/CB/CR.
Digital audio
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.
DivX
®
DivX
®
is a codec (compression/decompression)
that can compress images to a very small amount
of data. The software can compress video data
from almost any sources to the size that can
be sent on the Internet without compromising
visual quality of the images.
Dolby Digital
The system developed by Dolby Laboratories to
compress digital sound. It offers you sound of
stereo(2ch) or multi-channel audio.

This unit can play back sounds as realistic as
possible by converting even compressed Dolby
Digital and MPEG audio to PCM.
Progressive Scan (525p/480p)
A type of display that does not split each frame
into fields, and instead scans directly through all
the scanlines of each frame in order. Progressive
Scan provides less flickering and higher image
resolution than traditional (525i/480i) TV signals.
Refer to page 90 for instructions on selective
Progressive Scan mode.
Regions code
Regions associate discs and players with par-
ticular areas of the world. This unit will only
play back discs that have compatible region
codes. You can find the region code of your
unit by looking at the rear panel. Some discs are
compatible with more than one region (or all
regions).
Sampling frequency
The rate which sound is measured by a specified
interval to turn it into digital audio data. The
numbers of sampling in one second defines as
sampling frequency. The higher the rate, the bet-
ter the sound quality is.
SAP (Secondary Audio Program)
Sub audio channel which is delivered separately
from main-audio channel. This audio channel is
used as an alternate in bilingual broadcasting.
S-Video output
It delivers independently each signal of color (C)
and luminance (Y) to TV as video signals, so that
