Aspect ratio
Aspect ratio refers to the length to height ratio of TV screens. The ratio of a standard TV is 4:3, while the ratio of a high-definition or wide TV is 16:9. The latter allows you to enjoy a picture with a wider perspective.

Dolby Digital
The maximum 5.1 channels of audio used in the surround system (Surround Digital) for movie theaters is digital data compressed by the third generation algorithm encoder, AC-3.

DTS Chapter number
Chapter numbers are the numbers assigned to sections of a title on the disc, similar to chapters in a book. If the disc includes chapter numbers, you can locate the section you want very quickly using search and other functions. DTS stands for Digital Theater System. DTS is a surround system different from Dolby Digital that has become a popular surround sound format for movies, as well as CDs. In order to enjoy the benefits of DTS encoded discs, the digital output jack (either coaxial or optical) of this player needs to be connected to an AV amplifier or receiver or to a DTS decoder to be able to enjoy the surround sound of DTS audio. DTS audio is not output from the analog audio outputs.

Component (color difference) video output
The color signal of the TV is divided into the luminance (Y) signal and the color (PB and PR) signals and then output. In this way mutual interference of each signal is avoided. On a TV with component input jacks, these signals are synthesized to produce the picture.

Dynamic range
Dynamic range refers to the difference between the maximum and minimum levels of the audio soundtrack as measured in decibels (dB). Compressing the dynamic range raises the minimum signal level and lowers the maximum signal level. This allows you to hear voices and other low level audio signals clearly while lowering strong audio signals like the sound of explosions.

Digital bitstream
The bitstream does not refer to the audio signal, but rather to the digital data that, once converted, becomes the audio signal. The player outputs digital bitstreams via the digital optical or digital coaxial output. If the bitstream cannot be decoded by the connected AV amplifier etc., digital noise is produced. Digital bitstream formats compatible with different entertainment systems can be selected in the Setup screen Audio 1 menu.

Karaoke mode
This mode is used when you desire to enjoy Karaoke. There is no digital output when using in the Karaoke mode. Set to the Normal mode when desiring to enjoy movies or music.

Digital output (Coaxial)
Output of the digital audio signal is transmitted electronically using a coaxial cable. Because the signal being transmitted is digital, connection must be made to the coaxial digital input of another component. Noise will be output if connected to the analog audio inputs as the digital signal cannot be decoded.

MPEG
Short for Moving Picture Experts Group. This is an international standard for compression of moving images. On some DVDs, digital audio has been compressed and recorded in this format.

Digital output (Optical)
Normally, audio is converted to an electric signal and transmitted through an electric wire from the player to the amplifier, etc. Changing this signal to a digital signal and transmitting it through an fiber-optic cable is called optical digital output. Similarly, optical digital input receives digital signals from external units such as an AV amplifier or receiver.

Multi-angle
When you watch a TV program, you are watching the image filmed through the TV camera. Because of this, the picture is displayed on your TV from the viewpoint of the TV camera�s position. In a TV studio, the image is filmed by many cameras at the same time, and one of those images is selected by the program director and transmitted to your TV. If all the filmed images were transmitted to your TV you would be able to select the camera image you want. Some DVD discs are recorded with the angles of more than one camera used for filming, and these can be selected using this player. These types of discs are called multi-angle discs.
