Such broadcasts can be recorded only withCPRM compatible recorders and discs.Dolby DigitalThis is a method of coding digital signals developed by DolbyLaboratories. Apart from stereo (2-channel) audio, these signals canalso be multi-channel audio. A large amount of audio information canbe recorded on one disc using this method.Down-mixingThis is the process of remixing the multi-channel audio found onsome discs into two channels for stereo output. It is useful when youwant to listen to the 5.1-channel audio recorded on DVDs throughyour television’s speakers. Some discs prohibit down-mixing and thisunit can then only output the front two channels.DTS (Digital Theater Systems)This surround system is used in many movie theaters. There is goodseparation between the channels, so realistic sound effects arepossible.Dynamic rangeDynamic range is the difference between the lowest level of soundthat can be heard above the noise of the equipment and the highestlevel of sound before distortion occurs. Dynamic range compressionmeans reducing the gap between the loudest and softest sounds.This means you can listen at low volumes but still hear dialog clearly.Film and videoDVD-Videos are recorded using either film or video. This unit candetermine which type has been used, then uses the most suitablemethod of progressive output.For PALFilm is 25 frames per second.Video is 50 fields per second (two fields making up one frame).For NTSCFilm is 24 or 30 frames per second, with motion picture film generallybeing 24 frames per second.Video is 60 fields per second (two fields making up one frame).FinalizeA process that makes play of a recorded CD-R, CD-RW, DVD-R etc.possible on equipment that can play such media. You can finalizeDVD-R, DVD-RW (DVD-Video format) or +R on this unit.After finalizing, the disc becomes play-only and you can no longerrecord or edit. You can record after formatting although it becomesplay-only after finalizing, when you use DVD-RW.FormattingFormatting is the process of making media such as DVD-RAMrecordable on recording equipment.You can format DVD-RAM or DVD-RW (only as DVD-Video format)on this unit.Formatting erases irrevocably all contents.The United KingdomRepublic of IrelandThe United KingdomRepublic of IrelandGlossary
