Definition of Terms
CDDA

SVCD
SVCD short for Super Video CD. It's a kind of integrated Video CD.
DVD
Digital Versatile or Video Disc. DVD is a high dense optical disc recorded with high quality pictures
and sound.
MP3
Audio compression format that enables audio files to be stored and transferred on a computer with a
relatively small file size. It enables you to enjoy CD quality music. (Short for MPEG-1 Layer 3)
PBC
This is recorded on a Video CD 2.0, Video CD 3.0, SVCD and CVD. The scenes or information to be
viewed (or listened to) can be selected interactively with the TV monitor by looking at the menu shown
on the TV monitor. It stands for Play Back Control.
CHAPTER
A title is subdivided into many sections, each section is numbered, and specific parts of video
presentations can be searched quickly using these numbers.
TITLE
When a disc contains one or more movies, these movies are split into titles.
TRACK
Numbers are assigned to the tracks, which are recorded on Video CDs and CDs.
dts
Digital Theatre System is a 5.1-channel surround sound system, which is widely used in movie
theatres around the world. It enables the bit rate to be increased to provide good sound quality.
Multi Angle
Some DVD discs contain the various scenes that have been simultaneously shot from a number of
different angles.
Dolby Digital
A versatile and popular digital audio coder developed by Dolby Laboratories, Inc. It allows the use of
low data rates while still achieving excellent sound quality for 1 to 5.1 channels of audio.
Dolby Pro Logic
A popular active decoder for creating up to four channels of audio from Dolby Surround-encoded 2-
channel material.

10
PCM
Linear PCM is a signal-recording format used in a CD, While CD is recorded in 44.1 kHz/16 bit, a DVD
is recorded in 48 KHz/16 bit up to 96 KHz/24 bit.
Bitstream

and RS for rear right surround.
DOWNMIX
In some listening situations, the audio output channel configuration will not match the encoded
channel format on the disc. ‘Downmixing’ is required in order to reproduce the complete audio
program. The downmix takes the information in the channels which do not have corresponding outputs
and mixes this information into the remaining channels.
S-VIDEO
The S-VIDEO output separates the color (C) and luminance (Y) signals before transmitting them to the
TV set in order to achieve a sharper picture. So this must be selected from the menu to enable the S-
