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™

Chapter 6 : Specifying and Using Disc or Track Data
6-1 Introduction
Thanks to sophisticated design and onboard memory storage, your DVD mega-changer can read and store additional information about the discs you load, enabling you to
choose discs by title information rather than just disc position.
This memory feature means you don’t have to remember what disc is stored in which slot or spend time creating a list of what you’ve loaded.
Here’s how it works: every disc has a Table of Contents code embedded in it. The changer reads this code and associates with it any other information that it reads or that you
enter for the disc. It stores the information internally so that when you load or play the disc, the changer still contains the disc and track titles (among other things).
÷ Your DVD changer will recall information read in at the time of registration even when the disc insertion place is changed.
÷ Your changer stores this information for up to 420 discs, which allows you to rotate discs between the changer and another CD player without losing any information read.

7-4-3 Delay Time Setting
When playing a DVD recorded with Dolby Digital audio, the distances from the listening position to the
center and surround speakers should ideally be identical to those of all other speakers except for the
subwoofer. The delay time setting makes it possible to compensate for the difference in distances of actual
speakers by delaying the audio output from the center speaker and surround speakers so that the sounds
from all speakers reach the listening position at the same timing. (The delay time adjustment is available
only with Dolby Digital.)
Before starting the speaker setting, see the following figure and measure distance A of the center speaker
(A = Df - Dc) and distance B for the surround speakers (B = Df - Ds). The standard delay time settings can
be identified based on these values and the following tables.

Chapter 8 : Other Information
8-4 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 processing. 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 obtained
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 assigned
to the groups are referred to as group numbers.
VIDEO CD (VCD) : This is a CD containing moving
picture. 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.
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 special
playback capabilities (Version 2.0)
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 numbered and
the numbers are referred to as track numbers. 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 always 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
obtained by compressing the linear PCM signal featuring
large data amount and high sampling rate. With this
compression, the signal before compression can be
restored perfectly.
MPEG (Moving Picture Expert Group) (DVD, VCD) :
A digital video and audio compression and
decompression system which is standardized as an
international 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 compatible
with 5.1-channel surround audio as well as 2-channel
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, subtitle
language and viewing angles in this part can be switched
by the user.
Downmixing : Conversion of multichannel audio
signals of DVD or DTS-CD into 2-channel stereo signals.
DTS : Digital surround system developed by Digital
Theater 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 analog
signal into digital signal by slicing the analog signal into
fine parts at a certain time interval and digitizing every
sliced part. The sampling rate is the count of slicing per
second. The original sound can be reproduced 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. Usually,
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
recording of multiple subtitle languages. This player
allows the user to select desired one of the recorded
subtitle languages during playback of such a DVD.
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.

Chapter 8 : Other Information
Audio language (DVD): Some DVDs contain the
recording of multiple audio languages. This player allows
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.
Progressive scanning : This is a TV screen scanning
method, which scans a screen in order of scanning lines
from the first scanning line.
It can reduce image flickering in still images containing
characters, graphics and horizontal lines.
Aspect ratio : The ratio between the horizontal and
vertical 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.
Interlace scanning : This is a TV screen scanning
method, which scans a screen by dividing it into two
fields. It begins scanning with the odd number scanning
lines then proceed to the scanning of even number
scanning lines to display a single image by making use
of the persistence of residual image.
Pan & scan (DVD) : Method of displaying a
horizontally-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 B-picture).
This method is applied in the previous TV formats.
B-picture (Bidirectionally predictive coded) :
Picture calculated by comparing the previous and next
pictures (I-pictures or P-pictures). This picture type
contains least amount of video information.
Multi Session : With CD recording, a session refers to
an area composed of three recording areas including the
lead-in area (which indicates the location of data), data
area and lead-out (which indicates the end of session).
A CD containing more than one session in a disc is
referred to as a multi-session disc.
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 picture at
the center of screen.
P.B.C. (PlayBack Control) (VCD) : VIDEO CDs
carrying 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 reproduce
moving pictures by displaying still pictures sequentially.
OSD (On-Screen Display) : OSD is a method of
interactive operations using the menus and icons
displayed on the TV screen.
On-Screen Message : Message displayed on the TV
screen when an operation is performed.
Field (DVD, VCD) : Part of a frame obtained by dividing
the video data of each frame by two. Each frame of
ordinary TV is constitute by displaying the fields
alternately.
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.
Frame still/Field still (DVD, VCD) : Types of still pictures
obtained by temporarily stopping a moving picture. The
frame still picture may produce blur in the picture because
it displays two specific fields alternately, 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 accompanies with picture blur.
Dynamic range : Difference between the minimum
reproducible audio signal and maximum reproducible
audio signal.
