Glossary
Analog: Analog sound is available when you use the red and white audio jacks on your equipment. These jacks send audio through
two channels, the left and right.
AUDIO OUT Jacks:
Jacks on the Player that send audio to another system (TV, Stereo, Receiver, etc.).
Bit Rate:
The amount of data used to hold music; measured in kilobits per seconds, 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 quality. Higher bit rates use more Disc
space.
Coaxial jack:
Sends digital audio to a Stereo, allowing you to adjust the volume at the Stereo. The Stereo must have a coaxial in
jack. This connection provides the 5.1 channel surround sound.
Component Video Out Jacks
: Jacks on the back of the Player that send high-quality video to a TV that has Component Video
In jacks.
Digital:
Sound that has been converted into numerical values. Digital sound is available when you use the Coaxial or Optical
Digital Audio Out jacks. These jacks send audio through multiple channels, instead of just two channels as analog does.
Direct Stream Digital (DSD):
Technology used to record SACDs. DSD uses a 1-bit system with a digital sampling frequency
64 times higher than a regular Audio CD, creating a frequency response of over 50 kHz and a 120 dB dynamic range.
Dolby Digital:
A surround sound system that provides 5.1 channel sound.
DTS:
Digital Theater Systems. This is a surround sound system, but it is different from Dolby Digital. The formats were devel-
oped by different companies.
Letterbox:
A TV aspect ratio setting (4:3). Displays the video in full-width, with black bars at the top and bottom of the TV
screen. This format is similar to seeing a movie in a theater.
OPTICAL
Jack: Converts electrical signals into optical signals before sending the audio to the Stereo. Optical audio is not prone
to external electrical influences and has less noise. Keep the protective cap on the jack when it is not in use; this keeps dust out of
the jack.
Pan & Scan:
A TV aspect ratio setting (4:3). Displays the video with full-height picture, with one or both sides of the picture
trimmed. Some movie companies refer to this as “reformatting the picture to fit your TV screen.”
S-Video:
Produces a clearer picture by sending separate signals for the luminance and the color. If you connect the supplied S-
Video cable, you will not need to use the supplied yellow video cable. You can use S-Video only if your TV has an S-Video In jack.
VIDEO OUT Jack:
Jack on the back of the Player that sends video to a TV.
Widescreen:
A TV aspect ratio setting (16:9). Displays the video appropriately when you connect the Player to a widescreen TV.
