Aspect ratio
Aspect ratio ref ers to the length to height ratio of TV
screens. The ratio of a standar d TV is 4:3, while the ratio
of a high-definition or wide TV is 16:9. The latter allows
you to enjo y a picture with a wider per spective .
CD TEXT
CD TEXT is a system in whic h text inf ormation is stored
on a CD. CD TEXT can be used to displa y the disc’ s
title , the ar tist's name , and track titles as well as other
information. Additionall y, this pla yer uses the CD TEXT
already on the CD when the discs are updated in the
player.
Chapter number
Chapter n umber s are the n umber s assigned to sections
of a title on the disc, similar to chapters in a book. If the
disc includes chapter numbers, you can locate the
section y ou want ver y quic kly using sear ch and other
functions.
Component (color difference) video output
The color signal of the TV is divided into the luminance
(Y) signal and the color (P
B
and P
R
) signals and then
output. In this wa y mutual interf erence of eac h signal is
avoided. On a TV with component input jacks, these
signals are synthesiz ed to produce the picture .
Condition memory
“Condition” refers to the v arious mode settings, etc. On
this pla yer, various conditions, such as those set during
playback, can be memorized. This function allows you
to play back the same disc at any time without having to
redo your pref erred settings.
Digital bitstream
The bitstream does not ref er to the audio signal, but
rather to the digital data that, once con verted, becomes
the audio signal. The pla yer outputs digital bitstreams
via the digital optical or digital coaxial output. If the
bitstream cannot be decoded b y the connected A V
amplifier etc., digital noise is pr oduced. Digital bitstream
formats compatib le with diff erent enter tainment systems
can be selected in the Setup screen Audio 1 menu.
Digital output (Coaxial)
Output of the digital audio signal is transmitted
electronicall y using a coaxial cab le. Because the signal
being transmitted is digital, connection must be made to
the coaxial digital input of another component. Noise will
be output if connected to the analog audio inputs as the
digital signal cannot be decoded.
Digital output (Optical)
Normall y, audio is con verted to an electric signal and
transmitted thr ough an electric wire fr om the pla yer to
the amplifier , etc. Changing this signal to a digital signal
and transmitting it thr ough an fiber -optic cab le is called
optical digital output. Similarl y, optical digital input
receives digital signals fr om external units suc h as an
AV amplifier or receiver .
DNR (Digital Noise Reduction)
Digital noise reduction, in ref erence to video picture
quality , refers to the detection and remo val of digital
artifacts, or errant video data, whic h appear as spec ks
on the screen. When the digital noise reduction function
of this player is on, some of this data can be detected
and kept fr om appearing on the screen.
Dolby Digital
Using a maximum of 5.1 channels of audio, this high
quality surr ound system (Surr ound Digital) is used in
many of the finer mo vie theater s around the w orld.
In order to enjo y Dolb y Digital discs, this unit’ s digital
output jack (either coaxial or optical) must be connected
to the digital input jac k of an A V amplifier or Dolb y
Digital decoder to enjoy the sound of Dolby Digital
soundtracks.
DTS
DTS stands for Digital Theater System. DTS is a
surr ound system diff erent fr om Dolb y Digital that has
become a popular surr ound sound f ormat f or mo vies.
In or der to enjo y the benefits of DTS encoded discs, the
digital output jack (either coaxial or optical) of this player
needs to be connected to an A V amplifier or receiver or
to a DTS decoder to be ab le to enjo y the surr ound
sound of DTS audio. DTS audio is not output fr om the
analog audio outputs.
Dynamic range
Dynamic rang e refers to the diff erence between the
maximum and minimum levels of the audio soundtrack
as measured in decibels (dB).
Compressing the d ynamic rang e raises the minim um
signal level and lowers the maximum signal level. This
allows you to hear voices and other low level audio
signals c learly while lo wering str ong audio signals like
the sound of explosions.
Function Memory
Function Memor y lets y ou make a shor tcut list of up to
five regularl y used settings fr om the Setup screen pa ge.
By selecting a function fr om the Function Memor y
windo w, the appropriate Setup screen men u and
function are automaticall y opened.
