Analog audio
An electrical signal that directly repre-
sents 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 chapters. See also Title.
Component video output
This is a video signal format that con-
veys 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.
CPRM (Content Protection for
Recordable Media)
This is a format used to record copy-
once programs. By recording coded data
on the area of DVD discs that ordinary
writing software cannot write on, it pre-
vents copy-once programs from being
recorded repeatedly on different media.
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, generat-
ing a stream of numbers. On playback,
a digital-to-analog converter generates

discs from the computer and play back
the files on this unit.
PCM (Pulse Code Modulation)
PCM is a format that converts audio
into digital data. It is mainly used for
Audio CDs and DAT. This unit can play
back sounds as realistic as possible
by converting even compressed Dolby
Digital and MPEG audio to PCM.
Playlist
