Bitstream

This is the digital form of multi-channel audio data (e.g„ 5.1 chan

nel) before it is decoded into its various channels.

Decoder
A decoder restores the coded audio signals on DVDs to normal.
This is called decoding.

Dolby Digital

This is a method of coding digital signals developed by Dolby Labo

ratories. Apart from stereo (2-channel) audio, these signals can also
be multi-channel audio. A large amount of audio information can be

recorded on one disc using this method.

This unit is set to record using Dolby Digital in all recording modes

except for XP mode, where you may choose Dolby Digital or LPCM.

Dolby Pro Logic

A surround system where a 4-channet audio track is recorded as 2
channels and then is restored to 4 channels for play. The surround
channel is monaural and can reproduce up to 7 kHz.

DTS (Digital Theater Systems)

This surround system is used in many movie theaters around the
world. There is good separation between the channels, so realistic

sound effects are possible.

Dynamic range
Dynamic range is the difference between the lowest level of sound

that can be heard above the noise of the equipment and the highest

level of sound before distortion occurs.

Film and video
DVD-Videos are recorded using either film or video. Usually, film is
recorded at 24 frames per second, the rate movies are filmed at,

while video is recorded at 30 frames per second.

Frame still and field still
Frames are the still pictures that go together to make a moving pic

ture. There are about 30 frames shown each second.

One frame is made up of two fields. A regular television shows these
fields one after the other to create frames.
A still is shown when you pause a moving picture. 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.

Interlace and progressive output
NTSC, the video signal standard, has 480 interlaced (i) scan fines,

whereas progressive scanning uses twice the number of scan lines.
This is called 480p, The video signals output from this unit’s COM

PONENT VIDEO OUT terminals (Y, Pa, P

) allow you to enjoy higher

quality pictures than if the signals were output from the VIDEO OUT
terminal or S VIDEO OUT terminal.

I/P/B
MPEG 2, the video compression standard adopted for use with
DVD-Video, codes frames using these 3 picture types.

I: Intra coded picture

This picture has the best quality and is the best to use when
adjusting the picture.

P: Predictive coded picture

This picture is calculated based on past I- or P-pictures.

B: Bidirectionally-predictive coded picture

This picture is calculated by comparing past and future I- and

P-pictures so it has the lowest volume of information.

Linear PCM (puise code modulation)

These are uncompressed digital signals. LPCM sound is available
when recording in XP mode.

Playback control (PBC)
If a Video CD has playback control, you can select scenes and infor
mation with menus.

Pa n&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 “Letter
box”, deal with this problem.

Pan&Scan: The sides are cut off so the pic

ture 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.
