Dolby Prologic
In comparison to Dolby Surround sound format, with Dolby Prologic an additional
channel in the stereo signal is used; this is the so called "Centre" channel. The
corresponding centre loudspeaker is to be situated in the middle between the
stereo loudspeakers. The deepest sounds are fed to a bass loudspeaker, the
so called "Subwoofer". The subwoofer can be placed in any desired location
in the room; the logic for this is that the bass sounds that the subwoofer puts
out can scarcely be localized exactely by the human ear
Dolby Digital (5.1)
Dolby Digital, also designated as AC3, is a digital sound format, by which up
to six seperate audio channels can be transported. With most of the current
DVDs, the sound is stored in the so called "Dolby Digital 5.1" format; the "5"
in the name "5.1" stands for the three front and two rear surround sound
channels, the "1" stands for the subwoofer channel.
DTS
DTS is the abbreviation for "Digital Theatre System" and denotes one of the
most common surround sound formats for DVDs. As with Dolby Digital 5.1,
DTS uses three front and two rear surround sound channels as well as a bass
sound channel.
What are PAL and NTSC?
PAL
PAL is the abbreviation for "Phase Alternation Line". PAL is the mid and west
Europe (Exception: France = SECAM) customary and widest distributed colour

NTSC
NTSC is the abbreviation for "National Television System Committee". NTSC
is a colour television standard that is primarily used in the USA and Japan.
Audio CDs
Audio CDs contain exclusively audio data; they are also available in 8 cm
and 12 cm (Diameter) formats. The playback duration for the audio data stored
on them amounts to 20 minutes (8 cm format) and/or 74 minutes (12 cm format).
Audio data is stored on audio CDs in CDA format.
MP3
MP3 denotes a process and/or format developed by the Fraunhofer Institute
for the compression of audio data. In the MP3 format compressed music pieces
are only a fraction of their original size, which, for example, on CD-Rs/CD-RWs
allows for storage of a considerably greater volume of music than on com-
mercially available audio CDs, on which audio data is stored in the CDA format.
WMA
WMA ("Windows® Media Audio") is a data format developed by Microsoft®
for audio data.
JPEG
JPEG ("Joint Photographics Expert Group") denotes a wide spread graphic
format, developed by the organization with the same name, with which
image data of the colour and grey scales are compressed.
MPEG
MPEG ("Moving Picture Experts Group") refers to a video compression format.
USB memory sticks
The term USB memory stick refers to a plugable USB device, which is approximately
the size of a cigarette lighter. The expression is only colloquial and not a designation
for a type of product. For the most part with this expression is meant a USB
device that serves as an interchangeable storage media.
What are folders?
As opposed to audio CDs the title on a CD-R/CD-RW with MP3, WMA or
JPEG files can be stored in folders, for example, in order to file titles from
different genres.
The structure of an MP3-CD can, for example, appear as follows, if the MP3
files are stored in folders:
