Internal stereo mix of multichannel surround

audio by a DVD player. The down-mix signals

are output from stereo output connectors.

A ratio which defines the shape of the rectan-

DTS

DTS stands for Digital Theater Systems, a Digital

Surround audio encoding format configured

with six (5.1) channels, similar to Dolby Digi-

tal. It requires a decoder, either in the player

or in an external receiver. Not all DTS discs

contain six (5.1) channels of information.

Analog audio output is distorted.

Bitstream

• Set the OUTPUT LEVEL preference to LOW

(see the Output Level information in the Pref-

erences Setting section).

The digital form of multichannel audio data

(e.g., 5.1-channel) before it is decoded into

its various channels.

Dynamic range

MP3/WMA

Chapter/title

The difference between the loudest and soft-

est sounds.

No sound comes out.

Chapter is the smallest division and title is the

largest division on DVD Video. A chapter is a

division of a title and similar to a track for Video

CD or Audio CD.

• MP3/WMA disc is recorded with the “packet

writing (UDF format).” It cannot be played.

JPEG

A popular file format for still image compres-

sion and storage. JPEG stands for Joint Pho-

tographic Experts Group.

Files (tracks) are not played in the

recorded order.

Component video

• The RDV-1040 plays the files in alphabetic

order. So, the playback order can vary.

Video signals with three separate channels of

information that make up the picture. There are

several types of component video, such as

R/G/B and Y/CB(PB)/CR(PR).

There are three sub-types of the JPEG format

as follows.

• baseline JPEG: used for digital cameras, the

web, etc.

• progressive JPEG: used for the web

• lossless JPEG: an old type, rarely used now

WMA files cannot be played back.

• The file is copy protected.

Composite video

• The file is recorded with a bit rate under 48

kbps. The RDV-1040 does not support such

WMA files.

A single video signal commonly used in most

consumer video products that contains all lu-

minance, color, and synchronization informa-

tion.

Linear PCM audio

PCM stands for “pulse code modulation.” Linear

PCM is the usual method for digitally encod-

ing audio without compression, and is used

for the audio tracks on DVD Video discs, Au-

dio CDs, etc.

Dolby Digital (AC3)

A six-channel system consisting of left, center,

right, left rear, right rear and LFE (Low-Fre-

quency Effect channel for use with a sub-woofer)

channels. All processing is done in the digital

domain. Not all Dolby Digital discs contain six

(5.1) channels of information.

MP3

MP3 is an audio data compression format,

which stands for MPEG-1 Audio Layer 3. Us-

ing MP3, you can achieve a data reduction

of about 1:10.

Dolby Surround/Dolby Pro Logic

Dolby Surround records four channels of front

and rear audio in two channels in a way that

allows a decoder to recover the original four

channels for playback. Because the audio is

recorded in two channels, it can be played back

by a two-channel stereo system.

MPEG

MPEG stands for Moving Picture coding Ex-

perts Group. MPEG is a family of standards

for compressing audio-visual infromation.

“MPEG” standards include MPEG-1, MPEG-

2 and MPEG-4. Video CD and MP3 are based

on MPEG-1, while DVD is based on MPEG-

Dolby Pro Logic introduces directional circuits

in decoder-side processing (increasing the level

of specific channels and lowering the level of

silent channels) for greater spatial perspective,

and adds a center speaker used primarily for

dialog. The result is enhanced channel sepa-

ration.
