Bit Smallest information unit in the EDV as well as in digital transmission systems.

Indication for the height of the resolution in the uncompressed PCM size.

CD-R & CD-RW Recordable optical disc formats that can be used as Video CD or MP3 with your

DVD player.

Cinch-Audio Through the Cinch sockets, the Dolby Digital or MPEG sound will be released

from the DVD as analogue two-channel signal - independent from the channel

number on the DVD.

Cinch-Video The DVD player sends the composite video signal through the yellow Cinch

socket, either directly to the corresponding socket on the TV or indirectly

through an AV receiver. Cinch is the qualitatively worst picture connection and

should only be used if there is no other option.

Composite Video The most common connection for coloured video pictures that uses a single

RCA cable.

Component Video Offers the best interface between a video signal source and a TV/beamer. Uses

three RCA-type jacks to separate the component signals making up a video sig-

nal. A component video signal is comprised of the luminance (Y) signal and sep-

arate chrominance (PB and PR) signals.

Digital output The DVD player releases its sound information bit by bit through the digital out-

put. The way the sound will stream out of the socket must be adjusted in the

OSD menu. Most important criteria: Which device is connected to the digital

socket?

Dolby Digital A digital surround sound system which is able to transfer up to 5 sound chan-

nels plus a sub-bass channel (5.1 or 3/2.01). Developed by Dolby Laboratories.

Dual-Layer DVD A DVD disc that has two layers on a side. A single-sided, dual-layered DVD can

hold almost four hours of video and audio, and is also known as a DVD-9.

DVD Digital Versatile Disc is a storage medium that combines the convenience of the

compact disc with the latest digital video technology. DVD-Video uses modern

MPEG 2 data compression technology that enables an entire film to be stored

on a single five inch disc. DVDs come in different formats, such as single-sided

or double-sided. Each side can have a single layer or two layers of data.

DVD-5 A DVD that is single-sided, single-layered, holding up to 4.7 GBytes of data.

DVD-9 A DVD that is single-sided, dual-layered, holding up to 8.5 GBytes of data.

DVD-10 A DVD that is double-sided and single-layered, which holds up to 9.4 GBytes of

data. This disc must be manually flipped to use both sides.

DVD-18 A DVD that is double-sided, dual-layered, holding up to 17 GBytes of data.

DVD+RW DVD+ReWritable uses phase change media, the same technology on which

rewritable CDs are based. A high-performance laser is used to change the

reflective properties of the recording layer; this process can be repeated more

than thousand times.
