Delay time (b)

Speaker setting

The digital form of multi-channel data (e.g. 5.1 channel) before decoding.

Decoder

A decoder restores coded audio signals on DVDs to normal.

Dolby Digital

This is a method of coding digital signals developed by Dolby

Laboratories. 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.

Frames are the still pictures that make moving pictures. About thirty are

shown each second. A frame still may appear blurred but overall quality is

high.

Two fields appear alternately to make up one frame. A field still is not

blurred but picture quality is lower.

(Effective only when playing multi-channel discs)

For analog connection (➜ page 5)

For optimum listening with 5.1-channel sound, all the speakers, except for

the subwoofer, should be the same distance from the seating position. If

you have to place the center or surround speakers closer to the seating

position, adjust the delay time to make up for the difference.

Change speaker presence and size a, delay time b, and channel

balance c to suit the speakers you have connected when you select

“Multi-channel” (3 or more speakers are connected).

Interlace and progressive output

NTSC, the video signal standard, has 480 interlaced (I) scan lines,

whereas progressive scanning uses twice the number of scan lines. This

is called 480P.

There is good separation between the channels, so realistic sound effects

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.

These are uncompressed digital signals, similar to those found on CDs.

If distances d (from the center speaker) and f (from the surround

speakers) are the same as or greater than e (from the front speakers),

leave the delay time as “0”, the factory preset.
