been specially treated (for example,  
with wax, oil, polish) as staining or  
discoloration of the surface may result.  
If the system is brought directly  
from a cold to a warm location or is  
placed in a very damp room, moisture

DVD VIDEO  
A disc that contains up to 8 hours of  
moving pictures even though its diameter  
is the same as an AUDIO CD. e data  
capacity of a single-layer and single-  
sided DVD VIDEO, at 4.7 GB (Giga  
Byte), is 7 times that of an AUDIO CD.  
Furthermore, the data capacity of a dual-  
layer and single-sided DVD VIDEO is  
8.5 GB, a single-layer and double-sided  
DVD VIDEO 9.4 GB, and a dual-layer  
and double-sided DVD VIDEO 17 GB.  
e picture data uses the MPEG 2  
Glossary  
Auto Pause  
An automatic pause according to the  
signal encoded on the disc while playing  
a VIDEO CD. If the CD/DVD player  
does not resume playback for a long time,  
perform resume playback manually.

A title is composed of several chapters.  
format, one of the worldwide standards  
for digital compression technology. e  
picture data is compressed to about 1/40  
of its original size. e DVD VIDEO  
also uses variable rate coding technology  
that changes the data to be allocated  
according to the status of the picture.  
e audio data is recorded in Dolby  
Digital as well as in PCM, allowing you to  
enjoy more realistic audio presence.  
Furthermore, various advanced functions  
such as the multi-angle, multilingual, and  
Parental Control functions are provided  
with the DVD VIDEO.  
DivX  
®
Digital video technology created by  
DivX, Inc. Videos encoded with DivX  
technology are among the highest quality  
with a relatively small file size.  
Dolby Digital  
is movie theater sound format is  
more advanced than Dolby Surround  
Pro Logic. In this format, the surround  
speakers output stereo sound with  
an expanded frequency range and a  
subwoofer channel for deep bass is  
independently provided. is format is  
also called “5.1” because the subwoofer  
channel is counted as 0.1 channel (since  
it functions only when a deep bass effect  
is needed). All six channels in this format  
are recorded separately for superior  
channel separation. Furthermore, since  
all the signals are processed digitally, less  
signal degradation occurs.

camera, for a scene are recorded on some  
DVD VIDEOs.  
File  
Audio file (MP3/WMA/AAC), JPEG

Multi Session  
is is a recording method that enables  
adding of data using the Track-At-Once  
method. Conventional CDs begin at a  
CD control area called the Lead-in and  
end at an area called Lead-out. A multi  
session disc is a disc having multiple  
sessions, with each segment from Lead-in  
to Lead-out regarded as a single session.  
DVD VIDEOs can be classified as Film  
based or Video based soſtware. Film  
based DVD VIDEOs contain the same  
images (24 frames per second) that are  
shown at movie theaters. Video based  
DVD VIDEOs, such as television dramas  
or sitcoms, display images at 30 frames  
(or 60 fields) per second.

VIDEO CD  
A compact disc that contains moving  
pictures.  
e picture data uses the MPEG 1  
format, one of the worldwide standards  
for digital compression technology. e  
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.  
Region Code  
is system is used to protect copyrights.  
A region code is allocated on each DVD  
system or DVD VIDEO according to

shown on the unit as well as on the disc  
packaging. e system can play back  
the discs that match its region code. e
