Analog audio
An electrical signal that directly rep-
resents sound. In contrast, digital
audio which can be an electrical sig-

of sound. See also Digital audio.
Aspect ratio
The width of a TV screen relative to
its height. Conventional TVs are 4:3
(in other words, the screen is almost
square); widescreen models are 16:9
(the screen is almost twice as wide as
it is high).
Chapter
Just as a book is split up into several
chapters, a title on a DVD disc is usu-
ally divided into chapters. See also
Title.
Component video output
This is a video signal format that
conveys each of three principal
colors of light (red, blue and green)
through different signal lines. This
allows the viewers to experience pic-
ture colors as original as it is. There
are several signal formats, including
Y/PB/PR and Y/CB/CR.
Digital audio
An indirect representation of sound
by numbers. During recording, the
sound is measured at discrete inter-
vals (44, 100 times a second for
CD audio) by an analog-to-digital
converter, generating a stream of
numbers. On playback, a digital-to-
analog converter generates an ana-
log signal based on these numbers.
See also Sampling frequency and
Analog audio.
Dolby Digital
The system developed by Dolby
Laboratories to compress digi-
tal sound. It offers you sound of
stereo(2ch) or multi-channel audio
(up to 5.1ch).

A type of display that does not
split each frame into fields, and
instead scans directly through all the
scanlines of each frame in order.

nals. Refer to page 71 for instructions
on selective Progressive Scan mode.
