enjoy high-quality surround sound.  
NOTES  
• Connect the unit and the digital audio device by using  
either an optical digital cable or a coaxial digital cable.  
• It is not recommended to use the digital jacks for  
dubbing. When recording the sounds (DVD VIDEO,  
SVCD, Video CD or Audio CD) played back on the unit,  
record them through the analog jacks.  
• Depending on the disc, no signal may be output from  
the DIGITAL OUT. Make an analog connection in this  
case.  
• Set [DIGITAL AUDIO OUTPUT] in the [AUDIO]  
preference display correctly according to the  
connected digital audio equipment. If setting made  
for [DIGITAL AUDIO OUTPUT] is incorrect, loud  
noise may be generated causing damage to the

Additional information  
Appendix D: Glossary  
Aspect ratio  
Linear PCM audio  
A ratio which defines the shape of the rectangular picture  
in a TV. It is the width of the picture relative to the height.  
A conventional TV picture is 4:3 in aspect ratio.  
PCM stands for “pulse code modulation.” Linear PCM is  
the usual method for digitally encoding audio without  
compression, and is used for the audio tracks on DVD  
VIDEO discs, Audio CDs, etc.  
Bitstream  
The digital form of multichannel audio data (e.g., 5.1-  
MP3  
channel) before it is decoded into its various channels.  
MP3 is an audio data compression format, which stands  
for MPEG-1 Audio Layer 3. Using MP3, you can achieve  
a data reduction of about 1:10.  
Chapter/title  
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.  
MPEG  
A family of Standards for compressing audio-visual  
information. “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-2. MPEG stands  
for Moving Picture coding Experts Group.  
Dolby Digital (AC3)  
A six-channel system consisting of left, center, right, left  
rear, right rear and LFE (Low-Frequency 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.  
MPEG Multichannel  
This feature expands the 5.1 channel audio format  
recorded on the disc to a 7.1 channel format. The further  
expansion of the 5.1 channel audio makes it easy for you  
to reproduce the movie theater experience in your own  
home.  
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 naturally by a two-channel stereo system.  
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  
separation.  
NTSC (National television system committee)  
A black and white and color television system format  
used in the U.S.A., Canada, Mexico and Japan.  
PAL (Phase Alternation by Line)  
A color television system format used extensively in  
Western Europe.  
PBC  
PBC stands for “Playback control” and is a method of  
controlling disc play for Video CDs (VCD). You are able  
to interact with the disc through menus.  
Down-mix  
Internal stereo mix of multichannel surround audio by a  
DVD player. The down-mix signals are output from  
stereo output connectors.  
RGB  
An abbreviation for Red, Green, and Blue. Color  
monitors and color television sets display different hues  
by mixing these three colors.  
DTS  
A Digital Surround audio encoding format configured  
with six (5.1) channels, similar to Dolby Digital. It  
requires a decoder, either in the player or in an external  
receiver. DTS stands for Digital Theater Systems.  
Not all DTS discs contain six (5.1) channels of  
information.  
Track  
The smallest division on SVCD, Video CD and Audio CD  
discs.  
Dynamic range  
The difference between the loudest and softest sounds.  
JPEG  
A popular file format for still image compression and  
storage.  
JPEG stands for Joint Photographic Experts Group.  
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

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS  
“SOME DOS AND DON’TS ON THE SAFE USE OF EQUIPMENT”  
This equipment has been designed and manufactured to meet international safety standards  
but, like any electrical equipment, care must be taken if you are to obtain the best results and  
safety is to be assured.  
Do read the operating instructions before you attempt to use the equipment.  
Do ensure that all electrical connections (including the mains plug, extension leads and  
interconnections between pieces of equipment) are properly made and in accordance with the  
manufacturers instructions. Switch off and withdraw the mains plug when making or changing  
connections.  
Do consult your dealer if you are ever in doubt about the installation, operation or safety of  
your equipment.  
Do be careful with glass panels or doors on equipment.  
DON’T continue to operate the equipment if you are in any doubt about it working normally, or  
if it is damaged in any way–switch off, withdraw the mains plug and consult your dealer.  
DON’T remove any fixed cover as this may expose dangerous voltages.  
DON’T leave equipment switched on when it is unattended unless it is specifically stated that it  
is designed for unattended operation or has a standby mode.  
Switch off using the switch on the equipment and make sure that your family know how to do  
this.  
Special arrangements may need to be made for infirm or handicapped people.  
DON’T use equipment such as personal stereos or radios so that you are distracted from the  
requirements of traffic safety. It is illegal to watch television whilst driving.  
DON’T listen to headphones at high volume as such use can permanently damage your  
hearing.  
DON’T obstruct the ventilation of the equipment, for example with curtains or soft furnishings.  
Overheating will cause damage and shorten the life of the equipment.  
DON’T use makeshift stands and NEVER fix legs with wood screws — to ensure complete  
safety always fit the manufacturers approved stand or legs with the fixings provided according  
to the instructions.  
DON’T allow electrical equipment to be exposed to rain or moisture.  
ABOVE ALL  
NEVER let anyone, especially children, push anything into holes, slots or any other opening  
in the case -this could result in a fatal electrical shock.;  
NEVER guess or take chances with electrical equipment of any kind -it is better to be safe  
than sorry!
