Analog Audio
An electrical signal that directly represents sound. Compare
this to 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 TV screen is almost square);
widescreen models are 16:9 (the TV screen is almost twice as
wide as it is high).
AVCHD
AVCHD is a format for high definition Video camcorders which
can Record ans Play high-resolution HD image.
Block Noise
A distortion of Digital images in the shape of blocks caused by
the application of Data compression.
Chapter
Just as a book is split up into several Chapters, a Title on HDD
is usually divided into Chapters. See also "Title".
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".
Dolby Digital
The system to compress Digital Sound developed by Dolby
Laboratories. It offers you sound of stereo(2ch) or multi
Channel Audio.
Finalize
To make DVD, which have been Recorded on, possible to Play
in DVD players. With this unit, it is possible to finalize DVD-
RW, and DVD-R.
HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface)
A Digital interface between Audio and Video Source. It can
transmit component Video, Audio, and control signal with one
Cable Connection.
HDMI CEC (Consumer Electronics Control)

PCM (Pulse Code Modulation)
The most common system of encoding Digital Audio, found
on DAT. Excellent quality, but requires a lot of Data compared
to formats such as Dolby Digital and MPEG Audio. For
compatibility with Digital Audio Recorders (MD and DAT) and
AV amplifiers with Digital inputs, this unit can convert Dolby
Digital and MPEG Audio to PCM. See also "Digital Audio".
Region Code
Regions associate discs and players with particular areas of the
world. This unit will only Play discs that have compatible region
Codes. You can find the region Code of your unit by looking on
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 into Digital Audio Data. The Numbers of sampling in one
second defines as sampling frequency. The higher the rate, the
better the sound quality.
Title
