With DVDs recorded with multilingual sounds, you can  
select the language you want while playing the DVD.  
With multiplex CDs or VIDEO CDs, you can select the  
sound from the right or left channel and listen to the  
sound of the selected channel through both the right and  
left speakers. In this case, the sound loses the stereo  
effect. For example, with a disc containing a song, the  
right channel may output the vocals and the left channel  
may output the instrumental. If you only want to hear the  
instrumental, you can select the left channel and hear it  
from both speakers.

Bit ra t e (p a g e 41)  
DVD (p a g e 4)  
Value indicating the amount of video data compressed in  
a DVD per second. The unit is Mbps (Mega bit per  
second). 1 Mbps indicates that the data per second is  
1,000,000 bits. The higher the bit rate is, the larger the  
amount of data. However, this does not always mean that  
you can get higher quality pictures.  
A disc that contains up to 8 hours of moving pictures even  
though its diameter is the same as a CD.  
The data capacity of a single-layer and single-sided DVD,  
at 4.7 GB (Giga Byte), is 7 times that of a CD.  
Furthermore, the data capacity of a dual-layer and single-  
sided DVD is 8.5 GB, a single-layer and double-sided  
DVD 9.4 GB, and a dual-layer and double-sided DVD 17  
GB.  
Ch a p t e r (p a g e 5)  
Sections of a picture or a music piece on a DVD that are  
smaller than titles. A title is composed of several chapters.  
Each chapter is assigned a chapter number enabling you  
to locate the chapter you want.  
The picture data uses the MPEG 2 format, one of the  
worldwide standards of digital compression technology.  
The picture data is compressed to about 1/ 40 of its  
original size. The DVD also uses the variable rate coding  
technology that changes the data to be allocated according  
to the status of the picture.  
Dig it a l Cin e m a So u n d (DCS) (p a g e 35)  
The general name of technology that Sony developed to  
enjoy the surround sound in a home. To enjoy the  
surround sound of a movie theater in the comfort of your  
own home, it simulates the sound not in a concert hall as  
usual but in a movie editing studio. This player adopts  
VES (Virtual Enhanced Surround) system from various  
DCS programs. The VES system can create the sound  
image of virtual rear speakers from the sound of the front  
speakers (L, R) without using actual rear speakers.  
The audio data is recorded in Dolby Digital as well as in  
PCM, allowing you to enjoy more real audio presence.  
Furthermore, various advanced functions such as the  
multi-angle, multilingual, and Parental Control functions  
are provided with the DVD.  
MPEG AUDIO (p a g e s 35, 51)  
International standard coding system to compress audio  
digital signals authorized by ISO/ IEC. MPEG 1 conforms  
to up to 2-channel stereo. MPEG 2 used on DVDs  
conforms to up to 7.1-channel surround.  
Do lb y Dig it a l (p a g e s 15, 32)  
Digital audio compression technology that the Dolby  
Laboratories Corporation developed. This technology  
conforms to 5.1-channel surround sound. The rear  
channel is stereo and there is discrete subwoofer channel  
in this format. Dolby Digital provides the same 5.1  
discrete channels of high quality digital audio found in  
Dolby Digital Cinema audio systems. The good channel  
separation is realized because the all channel data is  
recorded discrete and processed in digital.  
Mu lt i-a n g le fu n ct io n (p a g e 34)  
Various angles, or viewpoints of the video camera, for a  
scene are recorded on some DVDs.  
Mu lt ilin g u a l fu n ct io n (p a g e s 17, 33, 45)  
Several languages for the sound or subtitles in a picture  
are recorded on some DVDs.  
Pa re n t a l Co n t ro l (p a g e 47)  
Do lb y Pro Lo g ic (p a g e 51)  
A function of the DVD to limit playback of the disc by the  
age of the users according to the limitation level in each  
country. The limitation varies from disc to disc; when it  
is activated, playback is completely prohibited, violent  
scenes are skipped or replaced with other scenes and so  
on.  
Audio signal processing technology that Dolby  
Laboratories Corporation developed for surround sound.  
When the input signal has the surround component, the  
Pro Logic process outputs the front, center and rear  
signals. The rear channel is monaural.  
DTS (p a g e 52)  
Pla yb a ck Co n t ro l (PBC) (p a g e 23)  
Digital audio compression technology that the Digital  
Theater Systems, Inc. developed. This technology  
conforms to 5.1-channel surround. The rear channel is  
stereo and there is discrete subwoofer channel in this  
format. DTS provides the same 5.1 discrete channels of  
high quality digital audio. The good channel separation is  
realized because the all channel data is recorded discrete  
and processed in digital.  
Signals encoded on VIDEO CDs (Version 2.0) to control  
playback.  
By using menu screens recorded on VIDEO CDs with PBC  
functions, you can enjoy playing simple interactive  
programs, programs with search functions, and so on.

Tit le (p a g e 5)  
The longest sections of a picture or a music piece on a  
DVD; a movie, etc., for a picture piece on video software;  
or an album, etc., for a music piece on an audio software.  
Each title is assigned a title number enabling you to locate  
the title you want.  
Tra ck (p a g e 5)  
Sections of a picture or a music piece on a CD or VIDEO  
CD. Each track is assigned a track number enabling you to  
locate the track you want.  
VIDEO CD (p a g e 4)  
A compact disc that contains moving pictures.  
The picture data uses the MPEG 1 format, one of the  
worldwide standards of digital compression technology.  
The picture data is compressed to about 1/ 140 of its  
original size. Consequently, a 12 cm VIDEO CD can  
contain up to 74 minutes of moving pictures.  
VIDEO CDs also contain compact audio data. Sounds  
outside the range of human hearing are compressed while  
the sounds we can hear are not compressed. VIDEO CDs  
can hold 6 times the audio information of conventional  
audio CDs.  
There are 2 versions of VIDEO CDs.  
Version 1.1: You can play only moving pictures and  
sounds.  
Version 2.0: You can play high-resolution still pictures  
and enjoy PBC functions.  
This player conforms to both versions.
