Others Terms Aspect Ratio This is the width-to-height ratio of a TV screen. A regular display has an aspect ratio of 4:3. Wide-screen displays have an aspect ratio of 16:9, providing a bigger picture for exceptional presence and atmosphere. Chapter DVD titles are in turn divided into chapters which are numbered in the same way as the chapters of a book. With DVDs featuring chapters, you can quickly find a desired scene with Chapter Search. 1 Dolby Digital Dolby Digital provides multi-channel audio from up to 5.1 independent channels. This system is the same as the Dolby Digital surround sound system used in theaters. To enjoy Dolby Digital entertainment, you must connect this unit's optical digital output jacks to the optical digital input jacks of a Dolby Digital compatible amp. DTS This stands for Digital Theater Systems. Unlike Dolby Digital, DTS is a surround system delivering multi-channel audio from up to 6 independent channels. To enjoy discs featuring DTS audio recording, you must connect this unit's optical digital output jacks to the optical digital input jacks of a DTS compatible amp or decoder. Linear PCM (LPCM) This stands for Linear Pulse Code Modulation, which is the signal recording system used for music CDs. Compared to music CDs, which feature 44.1 kHz/16-bit recordings, DVDs feature 48 kHz/16-bit - 96 kHz/24-bit recordings. The result is sound quality even higher than that provided by music CDs. MPEG This stands for Moving Pictures Experts Group, and is an international video image compression standard. Some DVDs feature digital audio compressed and recorded using this system. Multi-Angle With regular TV programs, although multiple cameras are used to simultaneously shoot scenes, only images from one camera at a time are transmitted to your TV. Some DVDs feature scenes shot from multiple angles, letting you choose your viewing angle as desired. 59
