Glossary
Analog audio: Sound that has not been
turned into numbers. Analog sound is
available when you use the AUDIO LEFT/
RIGHT jacks. These red and white jacks send
audio through two channels, the left and
right.
Dolby Digital: A surround sound system
developed by Dolby Laboratories containing
up to six channels of digital audio (front left
and right, surround left and right, center and
subwoofer).
EasyLink: Philips EasyLink uses the HDMI
CEC industry standard protocol to share
functionalities between the unit and its
connected devices. This feature is only
available if you connect this unit to a HDMI
CEC compliant TV with a HDMI cable.
Aspect ratio: Aspect ratio refers to the
length to height ratio of TV. The ratio of a
standard TV is 4:3, while the ratio of a high-
definition or wide TV is 16:9. The letter box
allows you to enjoy a picture with a wider
perspective on a standard 4:3 screen.
HDMI: High-Definition Multimedia Interface
(HDMI) is a high-speed digital interface that
can transmit uncompressed high definition
video and digital multichannel audio. It
delivers perfect picture and sound quality,
completely free from noise. HDMI is fully
backward-compatible with DVI.
As required by the HDMI standard,
connecting to HDMI or DVI products
without HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital
Content Protection) result in no Video or
Audio output.
AUDIO OUT jacks: Red and white jacks
on the back of this unit that send audio to
another system (TV, Stereo, etc.).
Bit Rate: The amount of data used to hold
a given length of music; measured in kilobits
per second, or kbps. Or, the speed at which
you record. Generally, the higher the bit
rate, or the higher the recording speed, the
better the sound quality. However, higher bit
rates use more space on a disc.
Chapter: Sections of a picture or a music
piece on a DVD that are smaller than titles.
A title is composed of several chapters. Each
chapter is assigned a chapter number

DivX: The DivX code is a patent-pending,
MPEG-4 based video compression
technology, developed by DivX Networks,
Inc., that can shrink digital video to sizes
small enough to be transported over the
internet, while maintaining high visual quality.
54
Glossary (continued)
MP3: A file format with a sound data
compression system. ‘MP3’ is the
abbreviation of Motion Picture Experts
Group 1 (or MPEG-1) Audio Layer3. By
using the MP3 format, one CD-R or CD-RW
can contain about 10 times more data than a
regular CD.
Title: The longest section of a movie or
music feature on DVD. Each title is assigned
a title number, enabling you to locate the
title you want.
TV OUT jack: Jack on the back of this unit
that sends out video signals to the TV.
Parental Control: A function of the DVD
to limit playback of the disc by the age of the
users according to the limitation level in each
country. The limitation varies from disc to
disc; when it is activated, playback will be
prohibited if the software’s level is higher
than the user-set level.
