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.  
AUDIO OUT Jacks: Red and white jacks on  
the back of the DVD System 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
