Digital audio
An indirect representation of sound by
numbers. During recording, the sound
is measured at discrete intervals (44,
100 times a second for CD audio) by
an analog-to-digital converter, generat-
ing a stream of numbers. On playback,
a digital-to-analog converter generates
an analog signal based on these num-
bers. See also Sampling frequency and
Analog audio.
Dolby Digital
The system developed by Dolby
Laboratories to compress digital sound.
It offers you sound of stereo(2ch) or
multi-channel audio (up to 5.1ch).

Progressive Scan (525p/480p)
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. Progressive
Scan provides less flickering and
higher image resolution than tradi-
tional (525i/480i) TV signals. Refer to
page 71 for instructions on selective
Progressive Scan mode.

Regions associate discs and players
with particular areas of the world. This
unit will only play back discs that have
compatible region codes. You can find

all regions).
Sampling frequency
The rate which sound is measured by
a specified interval to turn it into digital
audio data. The numbers of sampling
in one second defines as sampling fre-
quency. The higher the rate, the better
the sound quality is.
SAP (Secondary Audio Program)
