Digital audio output connector (Optical)
The digital audio output connector (optical) converts
electrical signals into optical signals and transfers
them to the amplifier. Consequently, it has a number
of features including its immunity from electrical
interference from external sources and its ability to
prevent the generation of noise and its minimal effect
on the external environment.
Dolby Digital
Dolby Digital is a digital sound compression technique
developed by the Dolby Laboratories Licensing
Corporation.
Supporting 5.1-channel surround sound, as well as
stereo (2-channel) sound, this technique enables a
large quantity of sound data to be efficiently record-
ed on a disc.

multiple angles, multiple plot endings, etc.
Letterbox screen

of wide-screen DVDs or Video CDs appears with
black bands running along the top and bottom.
Linear PCM audio (LPCM)
This refers to a signal recording format used in
CDs. While CDs are recorded in 44.1 kHz/16 bit,
DVDs are recorded in 48 kHz/16 bit up to 96 kHz/
24 bit, thus achieving higher quality audio than that
of CDs.
MPEG
(Moving Picture Experts Group)
MPEG is an international standard format for the
compression of motion video as defined by the
Moving Picture Experts Group, a working
committee which functions under the auspices of
the International Standardization Organization and
International Electrotechnical Commission. The
Group established the MPEG 1 standard in 1991
and the MPEG 2 standard in 1994. MPEG 2 builds
on MPEG 1 with many improvements, and it yields
a higher picture quality level.
Pan & Scan screen
This refers to a screen on which the playback
picture of wide-screen DVDs or Video CDs is cut off
at the left and right sides.
Playback control (Video CD)

the scenes or information to be viewed (or listened
to) can be selected interactively with the screen by
looking at the menu shown on the screen.
In these instructions, playback using the menu
screen is referred to as the “menu play” for video
CDs. This player supports Video CDs with playback
control.
