If you connect the DVD Player to a PCM
compatible receiver via the coaxial terminal, you
may need to adjust 'LPCM'.
Discs are recorded at a certain sampling rate.
The higher the sampling rate, the better the
sound quality.
➜ 48kHz: Playback a disc recorded at the
sampling rate of 48kHz.
➜ 96kHz: Playback a disc recorded at the
sampling rate of 96kHz.
➜ 192kHz: Playback a disc recorded at the
sampling rate of 192kHz.

activated, playback will be prohibited if the
software’s level is higher than the user-set level.
Analog: Sound that has not been turned into
numbers.Analog sound varies, while digital sound
has specific numerical values.These jacks send
audio through two channels, the left and right.
PCM (Pulse Code Modulation): A system
for converting analog sound signal to digital
signal for later processing without data
compression.
Aspect ratio: The ratio of vertical and
horizontal sizes of a displayed image.The
horizontal vs. vertical ratio of conventionalTVs. is
4:3, and that of wide-screens is 16:9.
Playback control (PBC): Refers to the signal
recorded on video CDs or SVCDs for
reproduction control. By using screen menus
recorded on aVideo CD or SVCD that supports
PBC, you can enjoy interactive-type software as
well as software having a search function.
AUDIO OUT Jacks: Jacks on the back of the
DVD System that send audio to another system
(TV set, 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 better
the sound quality. However, higher bit rates use
more space on a Disc.
Region code: A system allowing discs to be
played only in preset regions.This unit will only
play discs that have compatible region codes.You
can find the region code of your unit from the
product label. Some discs are compatible with
more than one region (or ALL regions).
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 enabling
you to locate the chapter you want.
S-Video: Produces a clear picture by sending
separate signals for luminance and the color.You
can use S-Video only if yourTV set has S-Video
In jack.
Sampling Frequency: Frequency of data
sampling when analog data is converted to
digital data. Sampling frequency numerically
represents how many times the original analog
signal is sampled per second.
Disc menu: A screen display prepared for the
selection of images, sound, subtitles, multi-angles,
etc recorded on a DVD.
Digital: Sound that has been converted into
numerical values. Digital sound is available when
you use the DIGITAL AUDIO OUT COAXIAL
or OPTICAL jacks.These jacks send audio
through multiple channels, instead of just two
channels as analog does.
Surround: A system for users to create
realistic three-dimensional sound fields full of
realism by arranging multiple speakers around
the listener.
Title: The longest section of a picture or music
feature on DVD, music, etc., in video software, or

DVD System that sends video toTV.
MP3: A file format with a sound data
compression system,“MPE” is the abbreviation of
