A Short Glossary of DVD Terminology
Angles When making a DVD, the studio can incorporate
various camera angles which you can select by using the
ANGLE button on the remote. Note that not all DVDs
contain multiple camera angles.
Chapter Each Title on a DVD can be divided into
chapters (similar to tracks on an audio CD).
Disc Menu The Disc menu is an on-screen menu (or
series of menus) included with the program content of a
DVD. These menus vary from disc to disc, and should not
be confused with the player's own on-screen menus.
Dolby Digital A digital surround sound format that
provides six separate (discrete) audio channels: left, right,
center, left rear, right rear, and subwoofer.
To play back a Dolby Digital soundtrack, connect the
DIGITAL AUDIO OUT jack to a compatible Dolby Digital
receiver.
If you have a Dolby Pro Logic Surround decoder, you will
obtain the full benefit of Pro Logic from the same DVD
movies that provide full 5.1-channel Dolby Digital
soundtracks, as well as from titles with the Dolby
Surround mark.
LPCM Linear Pulse Code Modulation—a digital recording
process. Turning LPCM on in the Setup menu converts
96KHz/24-bit digital audio to 48KHz/16-bit audio which is
compatible with digital recording devices such as MiniDisc
and DAT recorders.
Subtitling Because so much information can be stored
on a DVD, many discs may contain foreign language
subtitles.
Title A DVD may contain several different titles; for
example, if a disc contains four different movies, each
might be considered a title (and each may have several
Chapters within it).
