Finalize
This process allows DVD-R to be played on compatible equipment. 
Frame and field
Frames are the still pictures that go together to make a moving 
picture. A frame is made up of two fields.
Frame
Field
Field
≥A frame still is made up of two alternating fields, so the picture 
may appear blurred, but overall quality is high.
≥A field still is not blurred, but it has only half the information of a 
frame still so picture quality is lower. 
Linear PCM
This is a form of signal that has been digitized without compressing 
it. CDs are recorded with 44.1 kHz/16 bit PCM, while DVDs use 
PCM between 48 kHz/16 bit and 96 kHz/24 bit, allowing 
reproduction of greater quality sound.
The linear PCM signals output from the DIGITAL AUDIO OUT, 
OPTICAL terminal are stereo (2 channel).
NICAM
 (NICAM Broadcasting System)
This is a 2 channel sound broadcast system which in most 
instances provides high quality stereo sound. Broadcasters can 
also transmit two separate mono soundtracks on this system.
Pan&Scan/Letterbox
In general, DVD-Video are produced with the intention that they be 
viewed on a widescreen television with an aspect ratio of 16:9. 
This means you can view most material with the intended aspect 
ratio on a widescreen television. 
Material with this ratio will not fit onto a standard television with an 
aspect ratio of 4:3. Two styles of picture, “Pan&Scan” and
“Letterbox”, deal with this problem.
Pan&Scan: The sides are cut off so the picture fills the screen.
Letterbox: Black bands appear at the top and bottom of the 
picture so the picture itself appears in an aspect ratio 
of 16:9.
Playback control (PBC)
This is a method of playing video CDs. You can select parts to play 
by using menus recorded on the disc.
Play list
This is a collection of scenes. It enables you to play these scenes 
in succession or to select specific ones to play.
Programme (PRG)
The section between the point where recording is started and the 
point where it is stopped.
Sampling frequency
This is the number of samples of sound taken per second during 
conversion to a digital signal. A high sampling frequency results in 
a sound close to the original when played back.
S-video output
The colour and luminance signals are separated before being sent 
to the television, making for greater picture clarity.
Q Link (For Continental Europe)
This function works only if the unit is connected via a fully-wired 
21-pin Scart cable to a TV featuring the Q Link or similar function.
Q Link offers the following functions:
1) Download from the TV*
When you connect the unit to a TV, the station list data is 
automatically copied from the TV to the unit, and the TV 
stations are assigned to the programme positions on the unit in 
the same order as on the TV.
2) Direct TV Recording
By simply pressing [DIRECT TV REC], you can at once record 
the same programme that you are watching on the TV.
3) TV/DVD Auto Power On*
Even if the TV and the unit are off (standby mode), pressing 
[
1, PLAY], [SV/V+]([G-CODE]) or [PROG/CHECK] 
automatically turns on both the TV and the unit.
4) DVD Auto Power Off*
When you turn the TV off, the unit is turned off as well. 
However, this function works in the stop mode.
This function does not work during the following operations:
Preset Download, Auto Setup, Auto Clock Setting and Manual 
Tuning.
5) On Screen Display Messages*
When you are watching a TV programme, the following unit 
messages appear on the TV screen to inform you of the unit’s 
condition:
≥Depending on the type of TV used, the above messages may not 
appear correctly.
* The operations marked with asterisk are only available if the unit 
is connected to a TV featuring the Q Link or the DATA LOGIC 
function.
Note
If “Power Save” is set to “ON”, the Q Link functions do not work 
when the unit is switched off (standby mode).
