31 RQT6220 Reference Glossary Bitstream This is the digital form of multiple channel audio data (e.g., 5.1 channel) before it is decoded into its variouschannels. I/P/B MPEG 2, the video compression standard adopted for use with DVD-Video, codes frames using these 3 picture types. I: Intra coded picture (I-

picture) This is the standard picture and is a complete picture in itself. This means it has the best picture quality and is the best to use when adjusting the

picture. P: Predictive coded picture (P-picture) This picture is calculated based on past I or P-pictures. B: Bidirectionally-predictive coded picture (B-picture) This picture is calculated by comparing past and future I and P-pictures so it has the lowest volume of information. Decoder A decoder restores thecoded audio signals on DVDs to normal.

This is called decoding. Dolby Digital This is a method of coding digital signals developed by Dolby Laboratories. Apart from stereo (2-channel) audio, thesesignals can also be 5.1-channel audio. A large amount of audio information can be recorded on one disc using this method.

Dolby Pro Logic A surround system where a 4-channel audio track is recorded as 2 channels and then is restored to 4 channels for play. The surroundchannel is monaural and can reproduce up to 7 kHz. Linear PCM (pulse code modulation) These are uncompressed digital signals, similar to those found onCDs. MP3 A method of compressing audio, MPEG Audio Layer 3 (MP3) allows audio to be reduced to up to one tenth its original size without overtly hurtingaudio quality. When creating MP3 files to play on this unit Disc formats: ISO9660 level 1 and level 2 (except for extended formats) Files: MP3 files with the

suffix ".mp3" or ".MP3" To have this unit play files in a certain order, prefix folder and file names with numbers in the order you want to play them. This may not

work in all cases. Not compatible with multi-session recordings If you record MP3 onto CD-R/CD-RW over a number of sessions, this unit can play only therecordings made in the first session. DTS (Digital Theater Systems) This surround system is used in many movie theaters around the world. There is goodseparation between the channels, so realistic sound effects are possible. Dynamic range Dynamic range is the difference between the lowest level of sound

that can be heard above the noise of the equipment and the highest level of sound before distortion occurs. Frame still and field still Frames are the stillpictures that go together to make a moving picture. There are about 30 frames shown each second. One frame is made up of two fields.

A regular television shows these fields one after the other to create frames. A still is shown when you pause a moving picture. A frame still is made up of twoalternating fields, so the picture may appear blurred, but overall quality is high. A field still is not blurred, but it has only half the information of a frame stillso picture quality is lower. Playback control (PBC) If a Video CD has playback control, you can select scenes and information with menus. Disc handling Do

not use irregularly shaped discs, such as heart-shaped. (These can damage the unit.) Reference If the disc is brought from a cold to a warm environment,moisture may form on the disc Wipe with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth before using the disc. Handling precautions Do not write on the label side with a ball-point

pen or other writing instrument. Do not use record cleaning sprays, benzine, thinner, static electricity prevention liquids or any other solvent.
