Glossary

DVD-RW (page 7)

A DVD-RW is a recordable and rewritable
disc that is the same size as a DVD VIDEO.
The DVD-RW has two different modes:
VR mode and Video mode. DVD-RWs
created in Video mode have the same format
as a DVD VIDEO, while discs created in VR
(Video Recording) mode allow the contents
to be programmed or edited.

DVD+RW (page 7)

A DVD+RW (plus RW) is a recordable and
rewritable disc. DVD+RWs use a recording
format that is comparable to the DVD
VIDEO format.

HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia
Interface) (pages 32 and 63)

HDMI is an interface that supports both
video and audio on a single digital
connection. The HDMI connection carries
standard to high definition video signals and
multi-channel audio signals to AV
components such as HDMI euipped TVs, in
digital form without degradation.

The HDMI specification supports HDCP
(High-bandwidth Digital Contents
Protection), a copy protection technology
that incorporates coding technology for
digital video signals.

Interlace format

Interlace format shows every other line of an
image as a single “field” and is the standard
method for displaying images on television.
The even number field shows the even
numbered lines of an image, and the odd
numbered field shows the odd numbered
lines of an image.

Progressive format (pages 32 and 64)

Compared to the Interlace format that
alternately shows every other line of an
image (field) to create one frame, the
Progressive format shows the entire image at
once as a single frame. This means that while
the Interlace format can show 30 frames/60
fields in one second, the Progressive format
can show 60 frames in one second. The
overall picture quality increases and still
images, text, and horizontal lines appear
sharper. This player is compatible with the
480 progressive format.

Title (page 40)

The longest section of a picture or music
feature on a DVD, movie, etc., in video
software, or the entire album in audio
software.

Track (page 40)

Sections of a picture or a music feature on a
CD or VIDEO CD (the length of a song).
