GLOSSARY Analog Audio 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". Aspect Ratio 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). Chapter Just as a book is split up into several chapters, a title on a DVD-video is usually divided into chapters. See also "Title". Component Video Output Each signal of luminance (Y) and component (PB/CB, PR/ CR) 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). Digital Audio 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-todigital 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". Dolby Digital The system to compress digital sound developed by Dolby Laboratories. It offers you sound of stereo(2ch) or multi-channel audio. EasyLink (HDMI CEC) (Consumer Electronics Control) EasyLink (HDMI CEC) allows you to operate the linked functions of this player with Philips brand TV with EasyLink feature. Philips does not guarantee 100 % interoperability with other brands of HDMI CEC compliant devices. JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group) 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 on this unit. MP3 (MPEG audio layer 3) MP3 is a method of compressing files. You can copy MP3 files on CD-RW/-R, DVD+RW/+R or DVD-RW/-R from the computer and play back the files on this unit. PCM (pulse code modulation) The most common system of encoding digital audio, found on CD and DAT. Excellent quality, but 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 and MPEG audio to PCM. See also "Digital Audio". Progressive Scan (525p/480p) A type of display that does not split each frame into fields, and instead scans directly through all the scanlines of each frame in order. Progressive scan provides less flickering and higher image resolution than traditional (525i/480i) TV signals. Region Code 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). Sampling Frequency 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. Title A collection of chapters on DVD-video. See also "Chapter". Track Audio CD use tracks to divide up the content of a disc. The DVD-video equivalent is called a chapter. See also "Chapter". 26 EN
