Glossary
Analog audio: Sound that has not been
turned into numbers. Analog sound is
available if you use the AUDIO LEFT/RIGHT.
These red and white jacks send audio
through two channels, the left and right.
Aspect ratio: Aspect ratio refers to the
length to height ratio of TV screens. The
ratio of a standard TV is 4:3, while the ratio
of a high-de nition or wide TV is 16:9. The
letter box allows you to enjoy a picture with
a wider perspective on a standard 4:3 screen.
AUDIO IN jacks: Red and white jacks on
the back of the unit that receive audio from
another system (TV, Stereo, etc.).
Bit Rate: The amount of data used to hold
a given length of music; measured in kilobits
per second, 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. However, higher bit
rates use more space on a disc.
Chapter: Sections of a picture or a music
piece on a DVD that are smaller than titles.
A title is composed of several chapters. Each
chapter is assigned a chapter number
enabling you to locate the chapter you want.
Composite video (CVBS): A single video
signal commonly used in most consumer
video products.
Disc menu: A screen display prepared for
allowing a selection of images, sounds,
subtitles, multi-angles, etc., recorded on a
DVD.
DivX: The DivX code is a patent-pending,
MPEG-4 based video compression
technology, developed by DivX Networks,
Inc., that can shrink digital video to sizes
small enough to be transported over the
internet, while maintaining high visual quality.
Dolby Digital: A surround sound system
developed by Dolby Laboratories containing
up to six channels of digital audio (front left
and right, surround left and right, center and
subwoofer.)
Dolby Surround Pro Logic II: It is an
improved matrix decoding technology that
provides better spatiality and directionality
on Dolby Surround program material,
provides a convincing three dimensional
sound eld on conventional stereo music
recordings and is ideally suited to bring the
surround experience to automotive sound.
While conventional surround programming
is fully compatible with Dolby Surround Pro
Logic II decoders, soundtracks will be able to
be encoded speci cally to take full advantage
of Pro Logic II playback, including separate
left and right surround channels. (Such
material is also compatible with conventional
Pro Logic decoders.)
EasyLink: Philips EasyLink uses the HDMI
CEC industry standard protocol to share
functionalities between the unit and its
connected devices. This feature is only
available if you connect this unit to a HDMI
CEC compliant TV with a HDMI cable.
HDMI: High-De nition Multimedia
Interface (HDMI) is a high-speed digital
interface that can transmit uncompressed
high de nition video and digital multichannel
audio. It delivers perfect picture and sound
quality, completely free from noise. HDMI is
fully backward-compatible with DVI.
As required by the HDMI standard,
connecting to HDMI or DVI products
without HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital
Content Protection) will result in no Video
or Audio output.
