ge quality is significantly better than typical video signals.
Dolby Prologic uses an additional channel in the stereo
signal; this is the "center" channel. The corresponding
center speaker is situated directly between the stereo
speakers. The deepest tones are sent to a low range
speaker, called a "subwoofer". The subwoofer can be
placed at any location in the room; the reason for this is
that the deep tones emitted by the subwoofer cannot be
precisely localised by the human ear.
YUV (component video out)
YUV refers to the component signal, which is available
with this device at the YPbPR output in the form of
"half images"; generally, this is the best signal for large
screen televisions and projectors that cannot process
progressive scan signals. As with RGB video signals, the
YUV consists of three separate video signals:
the brightness signal "Y" and

the two colour differential signals "Pb/Cb" and "Pr/Cr"

WMA
Dolby Digital, also referred to as AC3, is a digital audio WMA ("Windows® Media Audio“) is a file format for
format with which up to six separate audio channels
can be transmitted. On most current DVDs, the audio is
stored in "Dolby Digital 5.1" format; the "5" in the
name "5.1" stands for the three front and two rear sur-

MPEG
What are PAL, NTSC and SECAM?
PAL
MPEG ("Moving Picture Experts Group") refers to a
video compression standard.
PAL is the abbreviation for "Phase Alternation Line".
PAL is the typical and most common colour television
standard in Central and Western Europe (exception:
France, see "SECAM").
What are folders?
In contrast to → audio CDs, the titles on a CD-R/CD-
RW with → MP3, → WMA or
→ JPEG files can be stored in folders, for example, to
organise titles from various genres.
NTSC
For instance, the structure of an MP3 CD may appear
as shown below if the MP3 files were saved in folders.
NTSC is the abbreviation for "National Television
System Committee". NTSC is a colour television stan-
dard that is used primarily in the USA and Japan.
SECAM
SECAM is the abbreviation for the French "système en
couleur avec mémoire". SECAM is currently the typi-
cal and most common colour television standard in
France and many Eastern European countries.
Audio CDs
Audio CDs contain only audio data; they are also avai-
lable in the sizes 8 cm and 12 cm (diameter). The
playback time for the audio data stored on CDs is 20
minutes (8 cm size) or 74 minutes (12 cm size). Audio
data is stored on audio CDs in the CDA format.

MP3
MP3 refers to a method or format for compression of
audio files developed by the Fraunhofer Institute.
Works of music compressed in MP3 format are only a
fraction of their original size, making it possible to store
significantly more music on CD-Rs/CD-RWs, for exam-
ple, than can be stored on typical audio CDs that save
the audio data in the CDA format.
