3. HANDLING DISCS
DVD video is a high-quality digital video source
that provides crisp and clear images. One 12 cm
disc contains either one film or four hours of
music. The built-in 5.1 channel surround and the
Dolby digital 5.1 channel surround let you enjoy
a realistic sound that emulates the sound of a
movie theater.
DVD Video Features
This unit provides the following functions in addition to the high image quality and sound quality of DVD video.
Notes:
• The functions described in the section, “Features”,
for example, the recorded language, subtitles,
angles, etc. differ with the DVD video disc. Refer
to the instructions provided with the DVD video.
• Some disc functions may operate differently than
described in this manual.
Multi-sound function
DVD video can store up to 8 languages for one
film; select the language of your preference.
• The languages stored on the disc are indicated
by the icon shown below.
Multi-angle function
A DVD video that is filmed from multiple angles
allows you to select the angle of choice.
• The number of recorded angles are indicated by
the icon shown below.
Multi-story function
When a DVD video contains more than one story
for a film, you can select the story you wish to
enjoy. The operation procedures vary with the
disc; observe the instructions for selecting a story
provided during playback.
Dolby digital
Dolby digital enables up to 5.1 independent multichannel audio reproduction, the same type of
surround system that is also used in movie theaters.
DTS
DTS (Digital Theater System) is a sound system
that differs from the Dolby digital system. DTS
provides a larger amount of data than Dolby
digital enabling high-quality surround playback
and incorporates a DTS-CD software for music
like a DVD software allows 5.1 channel
independent multi-channel audio reproduction.
Menu screens
Menus can be called up during DVD video playback to perform menu setting.
