representation
of sound. See also
"Digital
Audio".
Aspect
Ratio
The width of a TV screen relative to its heigbt.
Conventional
TVs are 4:3 (in other words, the TV screen is

Java applications,
you can
enjoy the interactive
functions
such as games or
interactive
menus.
Dolby
TrueHD

Blu-ray
Disc (BD)
Blu-ray Disc is a next generation
optical
video disc which
is capable
of storing
much more data than a conventional
DVD is. The large capacity
makes it possible to benefit
from the features
such as high-definition
videos, multi-
channel
surround
sounds, interactive
menus and so on.
Chapter
Just as a book is split up into several chapters, a title on a
BD-video or DVD-video
is usually divided
into chapters.

Component
Video
Output
Each signal of luminance
(Y) and component
(PB/CS, PR/CR)
is independent
to output
so that you can experience
picture color as it is.
Also, due to compatibility
with progressive
video
(525p/480p),
you can experience
higher-density
picture
than that in interlace
(525i/480i).
Diqital
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,
generating
a stream of numbers.
On
playback,
a digital-to-analog
converter
generates
an
analog signal based on these numbers.

(pulse code modulation)
The most common
system of encoding
digital
audio,
found
on CD and DAT. Excellent
quality,
but requires a lot
of data compared
to formats
such as Dolby Digital and
MPEG audio. For compatibility
with digital
audio
recorders
(CD, MD and DAT) and AV amplifiers
with
digital
inputs, this unit can convert
Dolby Digital and
MPEG audio to PCM. See also "Digital Audio".

with more than one region
(or all regions).
Samplinq Frequency
