Digital multi-channel audio data (e.g. 5.1-channel) before decoding to the individual channels.
Decoder (e.g. DTS / Dolby Digital)
A decoder converts the coded audio signals of the DVDs back to the original signals.
This procedure is called decoding.
A decoder converts the coded audio signals of the DVDs back to the original signals.
This procedure is called decoding.
A coding procedure for digital signals that was developed by Dolby Laboratories.
It may involve (2-channel) stereo sound signal or multi-channel sound.
The procedure enables the saving of large amount of audio data on a disc.
Dolby Digital (2 channels) is the basic setting when recording with this unit.

DPOF is the standard format for printing pictures recorded with a digital camera etc.
It enables automatic printing in a photo shop or on your own printer.

Dynamic volume
The dynamic volume is the difference between the lowest level that is still distinguishable
over the sounds made by the unit itself and the highest level, at which no distortion occurs.
A dynamic compressor reduces the difference between the lowest and the highest levels of
the source. Dialogue can be heard better at a low volume with such compression.

An EPG can display a TV programme list on a television, computer or mobile phone.
The data is transferred over the Internet or over television channels. This unit can receive
EPG data via the television channels. You can also program timer recordings using the
TV programme list.

Film and video
DVD Videos are either recorded in film or video mode. This unit identified the mode on its own
and selects the best progressive output method.
PAL
Films are made up of 25 frames per second. Videos are made up of 50 so-called split frames
per second (whereby two split frames form on full frame).
NTSC
Films are made up of 24 or 30 frames per second and cinema movies generally 24 frames per
second. Videos are made up of 60 so-called split frames per second (whereby two split frame
form one full frame).

Finalization
A CD-R, CD-RW, DVD-R etc. can only be played back on a unit designed for these storage
media after finalization. A DVD-R, DVD-RW (DVD-Video format) and +R can be finalized with
this unit. After finalization, the disc is a "playback only" disc and can no longer be written to or
edited. However, if you reformat a finalized DVD-RW, you can use it for recording again.

Formatting
Formatting prepares media such as writeable DVD-RAMs for recording. With this unit, you can
format the HDD (Hard disk drive), a DVD-RAM, a DVD-RW (only in DVD-Video format) and an
SD Memory Card. All data is irretrievably deleted during formatting.

HDD (Hard disk drive)
A mass storage device used in computers etc. The drive has a magnetic layer and rotates at
a high speed. A magnetic head right above the drive enables fast writing and reading of large
amounts of data.

LPCM (Linear PCM)
These are uncompressed digital signals, similar to those on CDs. LPCM sound can be used
during recording in XP mode.

Scan frequency
When converting (encoding) to a digital signal, the (analogue) sound signal is scanned
at certain time intervals. The number of scans per second is called the scan frequency.
The higher the scan frequency, the better the original sound is reproduced.

Sound mixing
This is the remixing of the multi-channel sound that exists on some discs to two channels for
stereo output. Sound mixing makes sense e.g. if you want to playback the 5.1-channel sound
of a DVD over your television speakers. However, some discs do not allow mixing. In this case,
only the two front channels are output.
