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”.

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).

With some BD which support Java applications, you can 
enjoy the interactive functions such as games or 
interactive menus.

Blu-ray Disc is a next generation optical video disc which is 
capable of storing much more data than a conventional 
DVD is. The large capacity makes it possible to benefit 
from the features such as high-definition videos, multi-
channel surround sounds, interactive menus and so on.

Just as a book is split up into several chapters, a title on a 
BD-video or DVD-video is usually divided into chapters. 
See also “Title”.

is independent to output so that you can experience 
picture color as it is.
Also, due to compatibility with progressive video (525p/
480p), you can experience higher-density picture than that 
in interlace (525i/480i).

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”.

The system to compress digital sound developed by Dolby 
Laboratories. It offers you sound of stereo (2ch) or multi-
channel audio.

Dolby Digital Plus is the next generation digital audio 
compression technology developed as an extension to 
Dolby Digital. Blu-ray Disc supports 7.1 multi-channel 
surround sound output.

Dolby TrueHD is a lossless coding technology developed 
for next generation optical discs. Blu-ray Disc supports 7.1 
multi-channel surround sound output.

DTS is a multi-channel surround sound system. By 
connecting to DTS decoder, you can enjoy movie dynamic 
and realistic sound like movie theater. DTS surround 
sound technologies were developed by DTS, Inc.

DTS-HD is a lossless coding technology developed as an 
extension of the original DTS Coherent Acoustics format. 
Blu-ray Disc supports 7.1 multi-channel surround sound 
output.

A digital interface between audio and video source. It can 
transmit component video, audio, and control signal with 
one cable connection.

JPEG is a method of compressing still picture files. You can 
copy JPEG files on CD-RW/-R, DVD or SD Memory Card 
from a computer and play back the files in this unit.

The most common system of encoding digital audio, 
found on CD and DAT. Excellent quality that requires a lot 
of data compared to formats such as Dolby Digital and 
MPEG audio. For compatibility with digital audio recorders 
(CD, MD and DAT) and AV amplifiers with digital inputs, 
this unit can convert Dolby Digital, DTS, and MPEG audio 
to PCM. See also “Digital Audio”.

Regions associate discs and players with particular 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 on the rear panel. Some discs are 
compatible with more than one region (or all regions).

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.

A collection of chapters on BD-video or DVD-video. See 
also “Chapter”.

Audio CD use tracks to divide up the content of a disc. The 
BD-video or DVD-video equivalent is called a chapter. See 
also “Chapter”.
