Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.  
DAMAGE REQUIRING SERVICE — Unplug this  
product from the wall outlet and refer servicing to  
qualified service personnel under the following  
conditions:  
alternating current line plug (a plug having one  
blade wider than the other), it will fit into the outlet  
only one way. This is a safety feature. If you are  
unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try  
reversing the plug. If the plug should still fail to fit,  
contact your electrician to replace your obsolete  
outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the  
polarized plug.

where they exit from the product.  
OUTDOOR ANTENNA GROUNDING — If an outside  
antenna or cable system is connected to the  
product, be sure the antenna or cable system is  
grounded so as to provide some protection against  
voltage surges and built-up static charges. Article  
810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA  
70, provides information with regard to proper  
grounding of the mast and supporting structure,  
grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna

location of antenna-discharge unit, connection to  
grounding electrodes, and requirements for the  
grounding electrode. See Figure A.  
LIGHTNING — For added protection for this product  
during a lightning storm, or when it is left unattended  
and unused for long periods of time, unplug it from  
the wall outlet and disconnect the antenna or cable  
system. This will prevent damage to the product  
due to lightning and power-line surges.  
POWER LINES — An outside antenna system should  
not be located in the vicinity of overhead power  
lines or other electric light or power circuits, or  
where it can fall into such power lines or circuits.  
When installing an outside antenna system, extreme  
care should be taken to keep from touching such  
power lines or circuits as contact with them might  
be fatal.  
If the product has been dropped or damaged in  
any way.  
When the product exhibits a distinct change in  
performance — this indicates a need for service.  
REPLACEMENT PARTS — When replacement parts  
are required, be sure the service technician has  
used replacement parts specified by the  
manufacturer or have the same characteristics as  
the original part. Unauthorized substitutions may  
result in fire, electric shock, or other hazards.

Selecting fine audio equipment such as the unit you’ve just  
purchased is only the start of your musical enjoyment. Now it’s  
time to consider how you can maximize the fun and excitement  
your equipment offers. This manufacturer and the Electronic  
Industries Association’s Consumer Electronics Group want you to  
get the most out of your equipment by playing it at a safe level. One  
that lets the sound come through loud and clear without annoying  
blaring or distortion-and, most importantly, without affecting your  
sensitive hearing.

Sound can be deceiving. Over time your hearing “comfort level”  
adapts to higher volumes of sound. So what sounds “normal” can  
actually be loud and harmful to your hearing. Guard against this by  
setting your equipment at a safe level BEFORE your hearing  
adapts.

How to Proceed in This  
Manual  
DVD is an incredible format that presents the highest quality  
digital audio and video available today. The amount of  
information that can be recorded onto a DVD disc is  
remarkable, allowing it to offer numerous functions and  
features available with no other format.  
DVD  
DVD-Videos are divided into units referred to as titles, and  
titles are divided into chapters. A DVD which contains a  
movie may have only one title with many or no chapter  
divisions. Karaoke DVDs may have many titles, assigning a  
title to each song on the disc. Menu screens do not belong to  
any title.  
Because using the DVD player and DVDs may be confusing  
at first, following the order below should help you get through  
the important stages of getting set up so you can start using  
your player as soon as possible.  
DVD player functions generally apply to titles on a disc or  
chapters within a selected title. The player functions available  
may also vary from title to title, depending on the disc. When  
discs have a unique title division, it should be noted that  
search and program functions may be affected.  
Get familiar with the player.  
Refer to the section “Before Using” on page 9 to confirm that  
all the accessories were included with the player. If you are  
new to DVD, it might be beneficial for you to go through the  
“Names and Functions” section starting on page 10 to get  
familiar with the parts and buttons on the main unit and  
remote control as they will be referred to throughout this  
manual.

There is also a list of terms that can be found on page 66 if  
you are having trouble understanding some of the  
terminology associated with DVD.  
DVD-Video  
Make the necessary connections.  
DVD-Audio discs are divided up into units known as groups,  
and each group is further divided into tracks. Generally  
speaking, a single song corresponds to a single track,  
however, tracks may also be divided into indexes. Menu  
screens and video material common to DVD-Video discs may  
also be included on some discs.  
No entertainment system seems to be set up exactly the  
same way. The “Making Connections” section starting on  
page 15 shows how video and audio connections may be  
made to suit your home entertainment system.  
Set up the necessary player menus.  
Group 1  
Track 2

Before you can begin to enjoy the benefits of the DVD format,  
it is first necessary to set up the player to output the video  
and audio information that corresponds to your system. The  
section “Setting Up the Player” starting on page 20 explains  
how to use the Setup Navigator, a function that automatically  
sets up the player corresponding to the answers given in a  
multiple-choice on-screen procedure. The Setup screen  
menus, described in the section starting on page 29, are also  
used in a number of other functions. Learning the procedure  
for operating these menus will make using this player much  
easier and more enjoyable.  
Track 1  
Track 3  
DVD-Audio  
Video CD/CD  
Video CDs and CDs are divided into units referred to as  
tracks (Video CD tracks may also be referred to as scenes).  
One song generally corresponds to one track. Some tracks  
are further divided into units referred to as indexes. Video  
CDs with PBC (Playback Control) also contain menus  
recorded on the disc which enable easy access to the  
contents of the disc.  
Play a disc.  
When all the connections and setups have been made, you  
are ready to play a DVD, Video CD, or CD with the player. The  
section “Getting Started Using Your DVD Player” starting on  
page 25 outlines the basic player operations.  
When played back on a DVD player, both Video CDs and  
CDs are considered to be a single title, regardless of the  
number of tracks.  
Enjoy the many features available.  
Track 1  
Track 2  
Track 3  
Track 4  
Once you are comfortable using the basic player functions,  
you are ready to take advantage of the various options DVD  
and this player have to offer. The section “Advanced  
Functions” starting on page 45 describes how to use the  
features available on many DVDs.

THX  
With their experience in movie making and DVD mastering, Lucasfilm engineers researched the capabilities of the  
DVD format. They have identified many key areas of importance that are necessary to ensure the highest quality  
possible for video and audio playback.  
The Home THX DVD specification was created to realize the full potential of the format.  
The THX DVD program is a number of technical and performance specifications developed to make certain that the  
audio and video quality of every DVD recording is reproduced as accurately as possible.  
Thus exploiting the medium’s maximum potential.  
MARANTZ and THX have engineered this product to give maximum performance  
and quality.  
“At the time of THX Certification of the DV-12S1, widely accepted industry performance standards for the features  
“Progressive Scan Video” and “DVD Audio’ did not exist. While THX sees that these features are present in the  
MARANTZ DV-12S1, THX engineers did not certify their technical performance.”

Connection Guide  
Making  
Connections  
The illustration on this page shows the basic setup using the  
audio and video cords included with this player. Use this  
illustration as a guide to setting up your home system.  
An explanation of each type of audio and video connection  
available can be found on pages 17 to 19. To determine the  
best audio and video connection setup for your system, refer  
to the manuals supplied with the components you are making  
connections to.  
In addition to making physical connections to your TV or  
monitor, it is also necessary to assign the TV screen size. You  
can use the [Setup Navigator] in the Setup screen General  
menu to set whether you are using a wide screen or standard  
size TV or monitor (page 21). Additionally, you can use the  
[TV Screen] setting in the Setup screen Video menu (page  
36).  
Connecting Your DVD Player  
Unlike any other audiovisual media format, DVD offers a wide  
array of audio and video output options which allows  
playback to be enjoyed in any number of system  
configurations from a standard TV with stereo audio input to a  
home theater system with a TV or monitor and full surround  
sound capabilities.  
Notes  
• When making connections to this unit or when changing  
connections, check that the unit is off by pressing  
Power Switch and unplug the power cord from the power outlet.  
• The video output on this player uses copy protect circuitry to  
prevent the video playback on DVDs from being copied. If you  
connect the player to a TV via a VCR, or record and play back  
the contents of a disc with a VCR, the playback picture may not  
be normal.

5.1 CHANNEL AUDIO OUT  
Video Connections  
5.1 channel audio refers to the current industry surround  
sound standard requiring two front speakers, a center  
speaker, two surround (rear) speakers and a sub woofer.  
Although in actuality there are 6 channels, because the sub  
woofer channel, or LFE channel, makes up a mere fraction of  
the total audio soundtrack, it has been designated as the 0.1  
of the 5.1 system.  
This player features S-video, composite, and component  
video output possibilities.  
Check the manual supplied with your TV or monitor to  
determine the best possible connection for your system.  
In addition to making physical connections to your TV or  
monitor, it is also necessary to assign the TV screen size. You  
can use the [Setup Navigator] in the Setup screen General  
to set whether you are using a wide screen or standard size  
TV or monitor (page 21). Additionally, you can use the [TV  
Screen] setting in the Setup screen Video menu (page 36).  
By utilizing the player’s internal multichannel audio decoder,  
the audio of DVD-Audio, Dolby Digital, DTS and MPEG DVDs  
can be output from the 5.1 channel discrete outputs to an AV  
amplifier or receiver with 5.1 channel input capability.  
• Use audio cables to make connections from the player’s  
AUDIO OUT (5.1 channel) jacks to the equivalent input  
jacks on the AV amplifier or receiver.  
VIDEO OUT  
• Make composite video connections to a standard TV or  
monitor with a video input jack.  
• When making 5.1 channel analog audio connections, be  
sure to match the left and right channels on both  
components, and also make sure that the jacks of all the  
channels are connected correctly on both components.  
• Either 2 single audio cords or a stereo cord may be used to  
connect the CENTER and SUB WOOFER channels to the  
AV amplifier or receiver.  
• Use the supplied video cable to connect one of the VIDEO  
OUT jacks on the player to the video input on the TV or  
monitor.  
• Be sure to match the color of the plug with the color of the  
jack (yellow).

Most models of the newly developed countdown PAL  
TV system detect 50 Hz (PAL)/60 Hz (NTSC) and  
automatically switch vertical amplitude, resulting in a  
display without vertical shrinkage.  
• If your PAL TV does not have a V-Hold control, you may  
not be able to view NTSC disc because the picture may  
roll. If the TV has a V-Hold control, adjust it until the  
picture stops rolling. On some TVs, the picture may  
shrink vertically, leaving black bands at the top and  
bottom of the screen. This is not a malfunction; it is  
caused by the NTSC = PAL conversion.

To navigate a menu screen  
When a menu screen is displayed  
• Although individual DVD titles may differ, when a menu  
screen is displayed, use the cursor (control joystick) and  
ENTER on the remote control. The cursor (contro  
joystick) is used to move around the options on the screen  
and ENTER is used for selection.  
• Occasionally, the number buttons may also be used to  
make selections. If this is possible, using number buttons  
serves to directly select an option on a menu screen. Only  
number buttons are used to make selections on Video CD  
menu screens.  
Menu screens are displayed for DVDs that have menu  
screens or Video CDs that include Playback Control (PBC).  
DVDs often contain extra information that can be accessed in  
the DVD menu and sometimes makes navigating DVD menu  
screens as enjoyable as watching the feature presentation.

Setting Your Speaker System  
for Multichannel Audio Playback  
This player contains a built-in decoder for Dolby Digital, DTS  
and MPEG audio sources as well as 5.1 channel discrete  
audio output. Ideally, a 5.1 channel system contains 6  
speakers: 2 front speakers, 2 surround speakers, a center  
speaker, and a sub woofer. However, as this is not always the  
case, accurately setting the [Speaker Setting] setting to  
reflect your speaker setup allows the player’s built-in decoder  
to reroute signals to compensate for absent speakers.  
Make adjustments in the [Speaker Setting] setting in the  
Setup screen Audio 2 menu.

For Proper and Long Use of  
This Unit  
Additional  
Information  
Do not move the unit during playback  
During playback, the disc rotates at high speed. Do NOT lift  
or move the unit during playback. Doing so may damage the  
disc.  
When moving the unit  
When changing places of installation or packing the unit for  
moving, be sure to remove the disc and return the disc table  
to its original position in the player. Then, press Power switch  
to turn off, then disconnect the power cord. Moving this unit  
with the disc loaded may result in damage to this unit.  
Disc Care  
How to hold discs  
Installation  
When loading or removing discs,  
try not to touch their playing  
surfaces.  
• Select a stable place to the side of a TV set or stereo  
system to be connected to the unit.  
• When using the unit with a stereo system, install the  
speakers a little bit away from the TV.  
• Do NOT install the unit on top of a TV or color monitor. Install  
the unit away from equipment that may be affected by  
magnetism, such as a cassette deck.  
Cleaning  
Fingerprints or other dirt on the disc may affect sound and  
picture quality.  
• Do NOT place objects on top of the unit.  
To clean your discs, use a soft clean cloth to wipe them. If  
necessary, moisten a soft cloth with diluted neutral detergent  
to remove heavy dirt or fingerprints.  
Avoid installing in a place that is:  
• Exposed to direct sunlight  
• Exposed to humidity or where ventilation is poor  
• Extremely hot or cold  
• Exposed to vibration  
• Exposed to dust  
• Exposed to oily smoke, steam or heat (for example, a  
kitchen)  
Gently wipe from the  
inside toward the outer  
edge.  
Do not wipe in a circular  
direction (Concentric scratches  
in the disc groove tend to  
cause noise).  
Do not block vents  
Do NOT use the player on top of a long-fibered carpet, bed  
or sofa, and do not cover it with a cloth, etc. This will prevent  
heat radiation and could result in damage.  
Discs must not be cleaned with record cleaning sprays, or  
static prevention sprays, etc. Also do not use volatile liquids  
such as benzine, or thinner, etc.  
Avoid heat  
Never play cracked or warped discs  
Do NOT place the unit on equipment which generates heat,  
such as an amplifier.  
When installing the unit in a rack, place it on the lowest shelf  
possible (however, not where it is exposed to dust) and  
separated from the amplifier to avoid the heat generated by  
the amplifier or other audio equipment.  
The disc revolves in the player at high  
speed when it is played. Never play a  
cracked, scratched or warped disc. This  
may damage the player or cause it to  
malfunction.  
Never use discs with special shapes  
CAUTION: WHEN PLACING THE UNIT IN A  
STEREO RACK WITH GLASS DOORS  
Be sure there is ample space between the unit and the  
glass doors when opening the disc table using the remote  
control. If the disc table opens against strong resistance,  
such as a closed glass door, damage to the unit may  
result.  
CD’s with special shapes (heart-shaped  
CDs, octagonal CDs, etc.) cannot be  
played on this set.  
Attempting to do so may damage the set.  
Do not use such CDs.  
After using discs, store them upright  
After playing a disc, always remove it from the player and  
return it to its jacket. Then store it standing upright away from  
heat and humidity.  
Lens cleaner  
• Store discs carefully. If you store discs at an angle, or  
stacked on top of each other, discs may become warped  
even when in their jackets.  
• Do not leave discs in locations such as the seat of a car,  
which may become excessively hot.  
The player's pickup lens should not become dirty in normal  
use, but if for some reason it should malfunction due to  
soiling, contact your nearest MARANTZ service center. Lens  
cleaners are commercially available, but special care should  
be exercised in their use since some may cause damage to  
the lens.  
CAUTION WHEN USING THE DISC  
All rights reserved.  
Unauthorized public performance, broadcasting or  
copying is a violation of applicable laws.

Condensation  
Troubleshooting  
Moisture may form in the operating section of the player if the  
player is brought from cool surroundings into a warm room or  
if the temperature of the room rises suddenly. When this  
happens, the player’s performance will be impaired.  
To prevent this, let the player stand in its new surroundings for  
about an hour before switching it on, or make sure that the  
room temperature rises gradually.  
Incorrect operations are often mistaken for trouble and  
malfunctions. If you think that there is something wrong with  
this component, check the points below. Sometimes the  
trouble may lie in another component. Inspect the other  
components and electrical appliances being used. If the  
trouble cannot be rectified even after exercising the checks  
listed below, ask your nearest MARANTZ service center or  
your dealer to carry out repair work.  
Condensation may also form  
during the summer if the  
player is exposed to the  
breeze from an air  
conditioner. In such cases,  
change the location of the  
player.  
The disc table comes back out automatically, shortly after  
the disc table is closed.  
The disc is dirty or warped.  
\ Refer to ‘Disc Care’ (page 63).  
Switch POWER to turn off when not using the unit  
The disc is not placed properly on the disc table.  
\ Use the disc table guide to align the disc (page 25).  
Depending on the strength of the TV or radio broadcast  
signal, having the TV or radio on while  
power to the unit is on may result in stripes  
on the TV screen or noise. However, this is  
not a malfunction of this unit or the TV or  
radio. In such a case, switch the power of  
the unit to turn off.  
Region number does not conform with this unit.  
\ If the region number on the disc does not match the  
number on the player, the disc cannot be used (page  
67).  
There is condensation on the operating section of the  
player.  
Power-cord caution  
\ Allow time for condensation to evaporate. If player is  
near an air conditioning unit, you should move the  
player (page 64).  
Handle the power cord by the plug. Do not pull out the plug  
by tugging the cord and never touch the power cord when  
your hands are wet as this could cause a short circuit or  
electric shock. Do not place the unit, a piece of furniture, etc.,  
on the power cord, or pinch the cord. Never make a knot in  
the cord or tie it with other cords. The power cords should be  
routed in such a way that they are not likely to be stepped on.  
A damaged power cord can cause a fire or give you an  
electrical shock. Check the power cord once in a while. When  
you find it damaged, ask your nearest MARANTZ service  
center or your dealer for a replacement.  
Playback is not possible.  
The disc has been loaded upside down.  
\ Check that the disc has been loaded with the label  
side facing up.  
DVD-Audio playback stops.  
\ The disc may have bee illegally copied.  
mark appears on screen.  
Cleaning the player  
The selected function does not operate for that disc.  
To clean the PLAYER, wipe with a soft, dry cloth. For stubborn  
dirt, wet a soft cloth with a mild detergent solution made by  
diluting one part detergent to 5 or 6 parts water, wring well,  
then wipe off the dirt. Also use a dry cloth to wipe the surface  
dry. Do not use volatile liquids such as benzene and thinner  
which are harmful to the unit.

ENGLISH  
Dolby Digital  
Terms  
Using a maximum of 5.1 channels of audio, this  
high quality surround system is used in many of  
the finer movie theaters around the world.  
1
Aspect ratio  
Aspect ratio refers to the length to height ratio of TV screens.  
The ratio of a standard TV is 4:3, while the ratio of a high-  
definition or wide TV is 16:9. The latter allows you to enjoy a  
picture with a wider perspective.  
DTS  
DTS stands for Digital Theater System. DTS is a  
surround system different from Dolby Digital that  
has become a popular surround sound format for  
movies.  
R
Bonus Group (DVD-Audio only)  
An ‘extra’ group on some DVD-Audio discs that requires a  
key number to access. See also Group.  
Dynamic range  
Dynamic range refers to the difference between the maximum  
and minimum levels of the audio soundtrack as measured in  
decibels (dB).  
Compressing the dynamic range raises the minimum signal  
level and lowers the maximum signal level. This allows you to  
hear voices and other low level audio signals clearly while  
lowering strong audio signals like the sound of explosions.  
Browsable pictures (DVD-Audio only)  
A feature of some DVD-Audio discs in which the user can  
browse still pictures recorded on the disc as the audio is  
played. See also Slideshow.  
Chapter number  
Chapter numbers are the numbers assigned to sections of a  
title on the disc, similar to chapters in a book. If the disc  
includes chapter numbers, you can locate the section you  
want very quickly using search and other functions.  
Group (DVD-Audio only)  
A collection of tracks on a DVD-Audio disc. Equivalent to a  
DVD-Video title. See also Title and Track.  
Component (color difference) video output  
Interlaced video  
The color signal of the TV is divided into the luminance (Y)  
signal and the color (CB and CR) signals and then output. In  
this way mutual interference of each signal is avoided. On a  
TV with component input jacks, these signals are synthesized  
to produce the picture.  
A method of displaying a picture in which odd-numbered  
lines are updated in one pass, then even-numbered lines  
updated in the next. See also Progressive scan video.  
MPEG Audio  
An audio format used on Video CDs and some DVD discs.  
This unit can convert MPEG audio to PCM format for wider  
compatibility with digital recorders and AV amplifiers. See  
also PCM.  
Condition memory  
“Condition” refers to the various mode settings, etc. On this  
player, various conditions, such as those set during playback,  
can be memorized. This function allows you to play back the  
same disc at any time without having to redo your preferred  
settings.  
MPEG Video  
Short for Moving Picture Experts Group. This is an  
international standard for compression of moving images. On  
some DVDs, digital audio has been compressed and  
recorded in this format.  
Digital bitstream  
The bitstream does not refer to the audio signal, but rather to  
the digital data that, once converted, becomes the audio  
signal. The player outputs digital bitstreams via the digital  
optical or digital coaxial output. If the bitstream cannot be  
decoded by the connected AV amplifier etc., digital noise is  
produced. Digital bitstream formats compatible with different  
entertainment systems can be selected in the Setup screen  
Audio 1 menu.  
Multi-angle  
When you watch a TV program, you are watching the image  
filmed through the TV camera. Because of this, the picture is  
displayed on your TV from the viewpoint of the TV camera’s  
position. In a TV studio, the image is filmed by many cameras  
at the same time, and one of those images is selected by the  
program director and transmitted to your TV. If all the filmed  
images were transmitted to your TV you would be able to  
select the camera image you want. Some DVD discs are  
recorded with the angles of more than one camera used for  
filming, and these can be selected using this player. These  
types of discs are called multi-angle discs.  
Digital output (Coaxial)  
Output of the digital audio signal is transmitted electronically  
using a coaxial cable. Because the signal being transmitted  
is digital, connection must be made to the coaxial digital  
input of another component. Noise will be output if connected  
to the analog audio inputs as the digital signal cannot be  
decoded.  
Packed PCM (DVD-Audio only)  
A lossless compression system that enables more PCM audio  
to be stored on a DVD-Audio disc than would otherwise be  
possible.  
Digital output (Optical)  
Normally, audio is converted to an electric signal and  
transmitted through an electric wire from the player to the  
amplifier, etc. Changing this signal to a digital signal and  
transmitting it through a fiber-optic cable is called optical  
digital output. Similarly, optical digital input receives digital  
signals from external units such as an AV amplifier or  
receiver.  
Parental lock level  
This function was suggested by parents concerned about  
what type of media their children were able to watch. Parental  
lock restrictions are restrictions incorporated into titles which  
include scenes that parents may not wish their children to  
view.

ENGLISH  
PCM  
Subtitle  
PCM stands for Pulse Code Modulation and is digital audio.  
The digital audio of CDs is PCM. This player also has a  
function that converts Dolby Digital and MPEG digital  
bitstreams into PCM to enable you to listen to quality digital  
sound even without a special decoder.  
Subtitles are language titles superimposed on movies, or  
other media. Up to 32 different subtitle languages can be  
recorded on a DVD disc. The subtitle function can be used to  
select the language of your choice.  
S-video  
Playback Control (PBC)  
This refers to signals recorded on a Video CD (Version 2.0)  
enabling playback control.  
You can use menus recorded on discs with PBC for easy,  
interactive search for desired scenes, and playback.  
You can also enjoy viewing high-resolution/standard  
resolution still images.  
Connecting the S-video output on the player to a TV or  
monitor with S-video input via an S-video cable produces  
clearer picture reproduction by sending separate signals for  
the luminance and the color. These signals are then  
combined by the television to produce a better quality  
picture.  
Time number  
Progressive scan video  
The time number corresponds to the elapsed playback time  
of a disc from its beginning. When using the time search  
function, use the time number to locate scenes that occur at  
the time selected.  
Also called non-interlaced video, this method of displaying a  
picture updates all the lines in one pass, resulting in a more  
stable, flicker-free image than interlaced video (for a given  
scanning rate). See also Interlaced video.  
Title number  
PureCinema  
DVD discs are divided into units referred to as titles, and titles  
are divided into chapters. Menu screens do not belong to any  
title. A disc which contains a movie may have only one title  
with many or no chapter divisions. Karaoke discs may have  
many titles, assigning a title to each song on the disc.  
Video on a DVD discs may be either video material (originally  
shot on video) or film material (originally shot on film). Video  
material has a frame rate of 30 frames/sec., compared with  
24 frames/sec. for film. This player converts film material to 60  
frames/sec. (in progressive scan mode). PureCinema adjusts  
the picture so that it matches more closely the picture quality  
of a cinema screen.  
You can see whether video on a DVD disc is film or video  
material by displaying the video transmission rate.  
If a hash mark (#) appears above the transmission rate  
display, it is film material.  
Regional restriction codes (region number)  
Regional restriction codes are built in to DVD players and  
DVD discs for each sales region. If the regional code of the  
DVD player does not match one of the regional codes of the  
DVD disc, playback is not possible.  
The region number can be found on the rear panel of the  
DVD player. The illustration below shows the regions and  
corresponding region numbers.  
Sampling Frequency  
When a sound wave is converted to a digital signal, the  
sound is sampled and converted to data at a specific  
frequency rate. For example, a signal with a 96 kHz sampling  
rate indicates that in one second, the analog signal was  
sampled 96000 times to produce the digital signal.  
Slideshow  
A feature of some DVD discs in which still pictures recorded  
on the disc cycle automatically as the audio is played. See  
also Browsable pictures.
