Analog Audio
An electrical signal that directly represents sound.
Compare this to Digital Audio which can be an electrical
signal, but is an indirect representation of sound. Also
see "Digital Audio".
Aspect Ratio
The width of a TV screen relative to its height.
Conventional TVs are 4:3 (in other words, the TV screen
is almost square); widescreen models are 16:9 (the TV
screen is almost twice as wide as it is high).
AVCHD
AVCHD is a format for high definition Video camcorders
which can Record and Play high-resolution HD image.
Block Noise
A distortion of Digital images in the shape of blocks
caused by the application of Data compression.
Chapter
Just as a book is split up into several Chapters, a Title
on HDD is usually divided into Chapters. See also "Title".
Digital Audio
An indirect representation of sound by Numbers. During
Recording, the sound is measured at discrete intervals
(44,100 Times a second for CD Audio) by an Analog-
to-Digital converter, generating a stream of Numbers.
On Playback, a Digital-to-Analog converter generates
an Analog signal based on these Numbers. See also
"Sampling Frequency" and "Analog Audio".
Dolby Digital
The system to compress Digital Sound developed by
Dolby Laboratories. It offers you sound of stereo(2ch) or
multi Channel Audio.
Finalize
To make DVD, which have been Recorded on, possible
to Play in DVD players. With this unit, it is possible to
Finalize DVD-RW, and DVD-R.
HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface)
A Digital interface between Audio and Video Source. It
can transmit component Video, Audio, and control signal
with one Cable Connection.
HDMI CEC (Consumer Electronics Control)
This allows you to operate the linked functions between
our brand devices with CEC feature and this unit. We do
not guarantee 100% interoperability with other brands
of CEC compliant devices.
JPEG (joint photographic experts group)
JPEG is a method of compressing still image files. You
can copy JPEG files from your personal computer to a
disc and Play them back on this unit.
Network Server [Only FWZH776/676F]
A live Program or the contents Recorded by this unit
can be viewed through your Smartphone / Tablet using
Mobile Apps if the unit and your Smartphone / Tablet are
connected on the same Router / Home Network.
PCM (Pulse Code Modulation)
The most common system of encoding Digital Audio,
found on DAT. Excellent quality, but requires a lot of
Data compared to formats such as Dolby Digital and
MPEG Audio. For compatibility with Digital Audio
Recorders (MD and DAT) and AV amplifiers with Digital
inputs, this unit can convert Dolby Digital and MPEG
Audio to PCM. See also "Digital Audio".
Region Code
Regions associate discs and players with particular areas
of the world. This unit will only Play discs that have
compatible region Codes. You can find the region Code
of your unit by looking on the rear panel. Some discs are
compatible with more than one region (or all regions).
Sampling Frequency
The rate where sound is measured by a specified
interval to turn into Digital Audio Data. The Numbers of
sampling in one second defines as sampling frequency.
The higher the rate, the better the Sound Quality.
Title
A collection of Chapters on HDD. See also "Chapter".
Track
Audio CD uses tracks to divide up the content of a
disc. The DVD equivalent is called a Chapter. See also
"Chapter"
