selected from up to 32 languages. (The number of

subtitle languages is variable depending on the discs.)

The DVD AUDIO reproduces 2-channel, 192 kHz,

24-bit sampled digital audio or 6-channel, 96 kHz,

24-bit sampled audio. This innovative technology

has made possible audio reproduction in

unprecedented high quality.

Angle function: With DVD discs marked with the

icon, a single object can be viewed in up to 9

angles by switching. (The number of available

angles is variable depending on the discs.)

¶ A Faroudja DCDI™(Directional Correlation Deinterlacing)

progressive scan processor produces the highest-quality

progressive video output in the industry, providing

superior performance where many progressive scan DVD

players have great difficulty. DCDi’s Motion Adaptive

De-Correlation processes motion information separate

from still information, reducing video artifacts and

distortion such as jagged edges which are very apparent

with motion and diagonal lines. Cross-Color Separation

reduces bleed across colors, and Film and Animation

Detection processes film and animation information

separately, reducing artifacts and distortion in both.

Versatile DVD VIDEO Functions

Compatibility with Wide Range of Digital

Surround Software

The DVD provides horizontal resolution of 500

lines, which exceeds that of S VHS video (400

lines) or laserdisc (430 lines).

The unit incorporates Dolby Digital decoder, DTS

decoder, MPEG multi-channel decoder and Packed

PCM decoder so that the users can enjoy the sound

of real cinemas. The unit can also be connected to

the user's existing TV set.

Multi-audio function: With DVD discs marked

with the

icon, the desired language can be

played back by selecting it from up to 8 languages.

(The number of available languages is variable

depending on the discs.)

6-Channel Output Terminals

The DV-6050 allows you to use the on-screen menu to

compare the DCDi-processed picture with the

unprocessed picture. See page 38 of the instruction

manual for details.

These output terminals can be connected to an

amplifier with 6-channel input compatibility to enjoy

high-bit, high-sampling rate multi-channel sound.

¶ Faroudja’s Digital Video Enhancement increases

resolution by processing both vertical and horizontal

signals to provide maximum detail. Large edges and

small details are processed independently, providing

optimum edge enhancement, and a DVD image that

approaches the quality of a high-definition broadcast

image.

The disc tray can accommodate up to 5 discs and the

disc can be changed while another disc is being played.

compatibility

This DVD player can play back tracks recorded in CD-

R (Compact Disc Recordable) and CD-RW (Compact

Disc Rewritable) as well as those in music CD.

The Enhancer Gain setting allows you to fine-tune the

amount of Faroudja detail enhancement to increase

sharpness without adding noise or making the picture

look too ‘etched’ or artificial. See page 38 of the

instruction manual for details.

* Only finalized discs can be played back. However,

certain discs may still be unplayable on this player.

Categorizing folders

The second and later sessions are not played back.

As MP3 files are compressed into high-quality sound files

at an extremely high rate of compression, it is possible

to record several times more tracks than audio CDs onto

a single medium. It is therefore convenient to split the

tracks into different folders by genre, artist or album for

retrieval and repeat playback purposes.

However, when "the number of sessions is '2'" and

"its second session is composed of music CD data

(CD-DA data)", the music CD data (CD-DA) can

Setting

DTS Digital Surround™ is a discrete 5.1 channel digital

audio format available on CD, LD, and DVD software

which consequently cannot be decoded and played

back inside most CD, LD, or DVD players. For this

reason, when DTS-encoded software is played back

through the analog outputs of the CD, LD, or DVD

player, excessive noise will be exhibited. To avoid

possible damage to the audio system, proper

precautions should be taken by the consumer if the

analog outputs are connected directly to an

amplification system. To enjoy DTS Digital Surround™

playback, an external 5.1 channel DTS Digital

Surround™ decoder system must be connected to the

Distance Setting

With Dolby Digital DVD playback, the distances between the listening position and all of the center/

surround speakers should ideally be identical.

When the distances between the listening position and speakers are set, this unit adjusts the delay time of

the speakers automatically. This setting is applied only when this unit outputs analog 6-channel signals.

(The delay time adjustment is available only with Dolby Digital.)

¶ The delay time delays the sound output from each speaker to compensate for the difference in distances of

the speakers so that the sounds of all speakers reach the listening position at the same timing.

Before setting the speakers, be sure to check their distances in advance.

Chapter 7: Other Information

Glossary

DVD (Digital Versatile Disc): DVD VIDEO is a disc

featuring high video/audio quality, made possible by

large recording capacity of video and audio signals

of movie software, etc. and by digital signal process-

ing. DVD AUDIO has been desired to provide even

higher audio quality than DVD VIDEO by using high-

bit, high sampling rate processing.

Quantization bit: The quantization bit count refers to

the number used in digitizing the sliced parts ob-

tained by slicing the analog signal as described above.

The quantization bit count is the number of bits used

in digitization per second. The original sound can be

reproduced more faithfully when the quantization

bit count is larger.

Chapter/Chapter No. (DVD VIDEO): The chapter is a

partition of video or audio that is smaller than the

title. A title is composed of multiple chapters. The

numbers assigned to the chapters are referred to as

chapter numbers.

Group/Group No. (DVD AUDIO): The group is the

largest unit of the contents in DVD AUDIO. Usually,

a group corresponds to an album. The numbers as-

signed to the groups are referred to as group num-

bers.

VIDEO CD (VCD): This is a CD containing moving pic-

ture. By compressing video data to about 1/120 and

audio data to about 1/6, a 12 cm disc with the same

size as ordinary music CD can store moving pictures

and audio for up to about 74 minutes.

Linear PCM (Pulse Code Modulation): Audio signal

format without using compression. In the DVD which

has a very large disc capacity, the linear PCM signal

using high sampling rate can be recorded.

Track/Track No. (DVD AUDIO, VCD, CD): The track

is a partition of audio (such as a piece of music or

music chapter) in a disc. These partitions are num-

bered and the numbers are referred to as track num-

bers. While a track usually corresponds to a piece of

music with DVD AUDIO or ordinary music CD, the

partitions of contents and track numbers are not al-

ways corresponding with VCD. As a result, while all

of the playback operations including track skipping

and programming of ordinary music CD are based

on the track number information, such operations

may sometimes be unavailable with VCD.

Packed PCM : The packed PCM(P.PCM) signal is ob-

tained by compressing the linear PCM signal featur-

ing large data amount and high sampling rate. With

this compression, the signal before compression can

be restored perfectly.

The VCD includes the P.B.C.-incompatible discs with

only the playback capability (Version 1.1) and P.B.C.-

compatible discs with the menu playback and spe-

cial playback capabilities (Version 2.0)

MPEG (Moving Picture Expert Group) (DVD, VCD):

A digital video and audio compression and decom-

pression system which is standardized as an interna-

tional standard.

Bitstream (DVD): This is the generic name given for

the flow of data based on a standard such as Dolby

Digital, DTS, MPEG, etc.

Dolby Digital: A digital audio compression technology

developed by Dolby Laboratories, Inc. It is compat-

ible with 6-channel surround audio as well as 2-chan-

nel stereo, and capable of recording a large amount

of audio data efficiently in a disc.

Decoder: A device for restoring standard audio signal

from audio data recorded based on coding into DVD

data, etc. This processing is referred to as decoding.

AVTT (Audio Video Title): Part of DVD AUDIO that

contains moving pictures. The audio language, sub-

title language and viewing angles in this part can be

switched by the user.

Downmixing: Conversion of multichannel audio sig-

nals of DVD or DTS-CD into 2-channel stereo sig-

nals.

DTS : Digital surround system developed by Digital The-

ater Systems, Inc.

AOTT (Audio Only Title): Part of DVD AUDIO that

contains audio and still pictures. The audio language

and still pictures in this part can be switched by the

user.

Sampling rate: Sampling refers to converting an ana-

log signal into digital signal by slicing the analog sig-

nal into fine parts at a certain time interval and digi-

tizing every sliced part. The sampling rate is the count

of slicing per second. The original sound can be re-

produced more faithfully when the sampling rate is

higher.

Title/Title No. (DVD VIDEO): The title is the largest

unit of video or audio recorded in DVD VIDEO. Usu-

ally, a title corresponding to a movie product with

video software or an album (or a piece of music) with

music software. The numbers assigned to the titles

are referred to as title numbers.

Subtitle language (DVD): Some DVDs contain the re-

cording of multiple subtitle languages. This player

allows the user to select desired one of the recorded

subtitle languages during playback of such a DVD.

Chapter 7: Other Information

Angle (DVD): Some DVDs contain the recording of

multiple viewing angles. This player allows the user

to select desired one of the recorded angles during

playback of such a DVD.

Frame still/Field still (DVD, VCD): Types of still pic-

tures obtained by temporarily stopping a moving pic-

ture. The frame still picture may produce blur in the

picture because it displays two specific fields alter-

nately, but the picture quality is higher. The field still

picture has lower picture quality because it uses half

the picture information of frame still, but is not ac-

companies with picture blur.

Downconversion: Conversion of PCM signal with high

sampling rate such as 96 kHz and 192 kHz into a

signal with a sampling rate of 48 kHz or 44.1 kHz.

Dynamic range: Difference between the minimum re-

producible audio signal and maximum reproducible

audio signal.

Audio language (DVD): Some DVDs contain the re-

cording of multiple audio languages. This player al-

lows the user to select desired one of the recorded

audio languages during playback of such a DVD.

IPB display (DVD): With the MPEG2 which is one of

the video display methods of DVD, each picture is

divided into the following three picture types before

being coded in digital signal.

Aspect ratio: The ratio between the horizontal and ver-

tical sizes of picture displayed on a TV screen. The

aspect ratio of ordinary TV is 4:3, and that of

widescreen TV is 16:9.

I-picture (Intra coded): This is the standard video

and can constitute a picture by itself. As the highest

picture quality can be obtained, the still image of I-

picture is most suitable for use when adjusting the

picture quality.

Pan & scan (DVD): Method of displaying a horizon-

tally-long picture recorded in 16:9 aspect ratio on a

4:3 TV screen by trimming part of picture.

In general, the trimming positions for pan & scan are

determined uniformly by the reproducing device.

However, the pan & scan of DVD allows the software

producer to specify the trimming positions to be used

in playback.

P-picture (Predictive coded): Picture calculated

based on past pictures (I-picture or P-picture).

B-picture (Bidirectionally predictive coded): Pic-

ture calculated by comparing the previous and next

pictures (I-pictures or P-pictures). This picture type

contains least amount of video information.

Letterbox (DVD): Method of displaying a horizontally-

long picture recorded in 16:9 aspect ratio on a 4:3 TV

screen by attaching bands at the top and bottom of

the screen and displaying the horizontally-long pic-

ture at the center of screen.

P.B.C. (PlayBack Control) (VCD): VIDEO CDs carry-

ing messages such as "Playback Control Capable" can

be played interactively by selecting the desired play

position or information in hierarchical structures

while watching the menus displayed on the TV screen.

Frame (DVD, VCD): Each frame of a moving picture,

that is displayed 30 times a second with NTSC and

25 times a second with PAL. These TV formats repro-

duce moving pictures by displaying still pictures se-

quentially.

OSD (On-Screen Display): OSD is a method of inter-

active operations using the menus and icons displayed

on the TV screen.

Field (DVD, VCD): Part of a frame obtained by divid-

ing the video data of each frame by two. Each frame
