Glossary  
Analog: Sound that has not been turned into

specific numerical values. These jacks send audio  
through two channels, the left and right.  
Multichannel: DVD is specified to have each sound  
track constitute one sound field. Multichannel refers  
to a structure of sound tracks having three or more  
channels.  
Aspect ratio: The ratio of vertical and horizontal  
sizes of a displayed image.The horizontal vs. vertical

length of music; measured in kilobits per seconds, or  
kbps. Or, the speed at which you record. Generally,  
the higher the bit rate, or the higher the recording  
speed, the better the sound quality. However, higher  
bit rates use more space on a Disc.
