values. Analog sound varies, while digital sound has

specific numerical values. These jacks send audio

through two channels, the left and right.

■ Aspect ratio

The ratio of vertical and horizontal sizes of a displayed

image. The horizontal vs. vertical ratio of conventional

TVs is 4:3, and that of widescreens is 16:9.

■ Audio output jacks

Jacks on the back of the DVD player that send audio to

another system (TV, Stereo, etc.).

■ Bit rate

The amount of data used to hold a given length of

music, measured in kilobits per seconds, 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.

images, sounds, subtitles, multi-angles, etc. recorded on

a DVD.

audio output jacks. These jacks send audio through

multiple channels, instead of just two channels as

analog does.

■ HDMI

(audio/video) interface. Providing an interface between

any A/V source (such as a set-top box or A/V receiver)

and an audio/video monitor (such as a digital television-

DTV), HDMI supports standard, enhanced or high-

definition video as well as multi-channel digital audio

using a single cable. HDMI transmits all ATSC HDTV

standards and supports 8-channel digital audio, with

bandwidth extra to accommodate future enhancements

and requirements.

When used in combination with HDCP (High-

bandwidth Digital Content Protection), HDMI provides

a secure audio/video interface that meets the security

requirements of content providers and system

operations. For further information on HDMI, visit the

HDMI website at “www.hdmi.org/”.
