About discs
Especially, the configuration and characteristics of an MP3 disc
or a JPEG disc are determined by the writing (encoding) software
and hardware used for recording. Therefore, due to the software
and hardware used, the following symptoms may occur:
Playable disc types
This system has been designed to play back the following discs:
DVD Video (DVD), Video CD (VCD), Super Video CD (SVCD),
Audio CD, CD-R and CD-RW.
•
Some discs may not be played back.

Some tracks on an MP3 disc may be skipped or may not be
played back normally.

disc characteristics or recording conditions.
Examples:

•ID3* tags cannot be shown on the display.
* An MP3 file can contain file information called an “ID3 Tag”
where its album name, performer, track title, etc. are recorded.
There are two versions, ID3v1 (ID3 Tag version 1) and ID3v2
(ID3 Tag version 2).
•We recommend to record each piece of material (song) at
sample rate of 44.1 kHz and at a data transfer rate of 128 kbps.
If a DVD with an improper Region Code number is loaded,
“REGION CODE ERROR” appears on the TV screen and playback

Dolby Pro Logic II
Dolby Digital
DTS Digital Surround (DTS) is another discrete multichannel
digital audio format available on CD, LD and DVD software.
Compared to Dolby Digital, audio compression ratio is relatively
low. This fact allows DTS Digital Surround format to add breadth
and depth to the reproduced sounds. As a result, DTS Digital
Surround features natural, solid and clear sound.

DAP (Digital Acoustic Processor) modes
DAP modes have been designed to create important acoustic
surround elements.
The sound heard in a live club, dance club, hall or pavilion consists
of direct sound and indirect sound — early reflections and
reflections from behind. Direct sounds reach the listener directly
without any reflection. On the other hand, indirect sounds are
delayed by the distances of the ceiling and walls (see the diagram
below).
These indirect sounds are important elements of the acoustic
surround effects. The DAP mode can reproduce a realistic sound
field by adding these indirect sounds.
Dolby Pro Logic II has a newly developed multichannel playback
format to decode all 2 channel sources — stereo source and Dolby
Surround encoded source — into a 5.1 channel.
The matrix-based encoding/decoding method used by Dolby Pro
Logic II makes no limitation for the cutoff frequency of the treble
from surround channel and enables stereo surround sound
compared to conventional Dolby Pro Logic.
Dolby Pro Logic II enables to reproduce spacious sound from
original sound without adding any new sounds and tonal coloration.
Dolby Pro Logic II has two modes — Movie mode and Music
mode:
• Pro Logic II Movie (PL II MOVIE)
The following DAP modes are provided with this system.
Suitable for reproduction of Dolby Surround encoded sources

Dolby Digital 5.1 ch (DOLBY D) encoding method (so-called
discrete multichannel digital audio format) records and digitally
compresses the front left channel, front right channel, center
channel, surround left channel, surround right channel and LFE
channel signals.
Since each channel is completely independent from the other
channel signals to avoid interference, you can obtain much better
sound quality with much stereo and surround effects.
NOTE
•Dolby Digital software can be roughly grouped into two categories-
multichannel (up to “5.1” channel) and 2 channel software. To enjoy
surround sounds while playing Dolby Digital 2 ch software, you can
use Dolby Pro Logic II.

Multiangle
By recording multiple scenes progressing at the same time in a
single title, the user can select view angles. This feature is called
the multiangle function.
Glossary
Aspect ratio
The ratio of vertical and horizontal sizes of a displayed image. The
horizontal vs. vertical ratio of conventional TVs is 4:3, and that of
wide-screens is 16:9.
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.
Chapter
Refers to individual chapters included in a title.
Multilanguage
Composite video signal
When a title is created to cope with multiple languages, it is
generally called a multilanguage title.
Refers to video signal comprised of three kinds of signals
combined: an image signal made up of luminance and chrominance
signals using the frequency multiplication technique; burst signal
providing the basis for color reproduction; and synchronization
signal.
Parental Lock
A feature of this system to automatically determine whether or not
to reproduce particular DVD software by comparing its parental
level (a measure of undesirability of scenes, etc. from educational
viewpoint) set for the software beforehand with that set on this
system by the user; if the software’s level is less restrictive than the
user-set level, it will be reproduced.
Component video signal
A video signal system where parts of information necessary for
reproducing image signal comprised of the three primary colors of
light are transmitted via separate signal lines. Types of signal, such
as R/G/B, Y/PB/PR, etc., are available.
Playback control (PBC)
Refers to the signal recorded on video CDs or SVCDs for
controlling reproduction. By using menu screens recorded on a
Video CD or SVCD that supports PBC, you can enjoy interactive-
type software as well as software having a search function.
Disc menu
A screen display prepared for allowing selection of images, sounds,
subtitles, multiangles, etc. recorded on a DVD.
Progressive scan
Interlaced scan
Progressive scan displays all the horizontal lines of a picture at one
time, as a single frame. This system can convert the interlaced
video from DVD into progressive format for connection to a
progressive display. It dramatically increases the vertical resolution.
In the conventional video system, a picture is shown on the display
monitor in two halves. The Interlaced scan system places lines of
the second half of the picture in-between lines of the first half of the
picture.
Region Code
JPEG
A system for allowing discs to be played back only in the regions
designated beforehand. All the countries in the world are divided
into six regions, each region being identified by a specified Region
Code (or region number). If the Region Code given to a disc
includes a numeral which matches one in the Region Code of a
player, the player can play back the disc.
A still-picture data compression system proposed by the Joint
Photographic Expert Group, which features small decrease in
image quality in spite of its high compression ratio.
Letter box
A method of displaying wide images like movies in the center of a
4:3 TV screen with no part of the image deleted, by placing black
bands on the top and bottom of the screen. This name has resulted
from the screen form looking literally like a letter box.
Sampling frequency
Frequency of sampling data when analog data is converted to
digital data. Sampling frequency numerically represents how many
times the original analog signal is sampled per second.
Linear PCM (PCM: Pulse Code Modulation)
A system for converting analog sound signal to digital signal for
later processing, with no data compression used in conversion.
Surround
A system for creating three-dimensional sound fields full of realism
by arranging multiple speakers around the listener.
MP3
A file format with a sound data compression system. “MP3” is the
abbreviation of Motion Picture Experts Group 1 (or MPEG-1)
Audio Layer 3. By using MP3 format, one CD-R or CD-RW can
contain about 10 times as much data volume as a regular CD can.
Transfer rate
The rate of transferring digital data. Usually the measure is in baud
per second. The DVD system applies a variable transfer rate system
for high efficiency.
