Sound that has not been turned into numbers.
Analog sound varies, while digital sound has specific 
numerical values. These jacks send audio through two 
channels, the left and right.

Horizontal and vertical ratio of a displayed image. The 
horizontal vs. vertical ratio of conventional TV is 4:3, 
and that of wide-screens is 16:9.

Short for binary digit. Represents the smallest unit of 
information manipulated on a computer. In audio 
systems, the bit size determines resolution to digitize 
analog signals.
The larger the bit size, the larger the dynamic range 
(the ratio of maximum and minimum frequency level) 
and the finer the sounds. Generally, an audio CD is 16 
bit and DVD audio is 24 bit.

The amount of data used to hold a given length of 
music; measured in kilobits per second, or kbps. Also, 
the speed at which you record. Generally, the higher 
the bit rate, or recording speed, the better the sound 
quality. However, higher bit rates use more space on a 
disc.

Jacks for inputting or outputting a component video 
signal.Component video signal consists of three lines, 
the luminance signal (Y) and two color difference 
signals (P

DivX is a popular media technology created by DivX, 
inc. DivX media files contain highly compressed video 
with high visual quality that maintains a relatively 
small file size. DivX files can also include advanced 
media features like menus, subtitles, and alternate 
audio tracks. Many DivX media files are available for 
download online, and you can create your own using 
your personal content and easy-to-use tools from 
DivX.com.

Digital surround sound system which is developed by 
Dolby Laboratories provides completely independent 
multi-channel audio. With 3 front channels (left, center, 
and right) and 2 surround stereo channels, Dolby 
Digital provides five full-range audio channels. With 
an additional channel especially for bass effects (called 
LFE, or low frequency effect), the system has a total of 
5.1-channels (LFE is counted as 0.1 channel). By using 
2-channel stereo for the surround speakers, more 
accurate moving sound effects and surround sound 
environment are possible than with Dolby Surround.

It is an improved matrix decoding technology that 
provides better spatiality and directionality on Dolby 
Surround programme material; provides a convincing 
three-dimensional soundfield on conventional stereo 
music recordings; and is ideally suited to bring the 
surround experience to automotive sound. While 
conventional surround programming is fully 
compatible with Dolby Surround Pro Logic II 
decoders, soundtracks will be able to be encoded 
specifically to take full advantage of Pro Logic II 
playback, including separate left and right surround 
channels. (Such material is also compatible with 
conventional Pro Logic decoders.)

Digital surround sound system developed by Digital 
Theater Systems, Inc., which provides 5.1 channel 
audio (max). With an abundance of audio data, it is 
able to provide authentic-sounding effects.

The most common type of scanning used in televisions. 
It divides a screen into even and odd numbered fields 
for scanning, and then builds an image by combining 
them into one image (frame).

A standardized image compression system proposed by 
the Joint Photographic Expert Group. It can reduce 
image data sizes to 1 to 10% of their original sizes, and 
works on digital photographs effectively.
