to the DVD Player is Progressive Scan capable.
If you are not sure whether or not the television ( or
video projector) that is to be connected to the DVD
Player is Progressive Scan capable and has chinch
sockets, then please refer to the operating instructions for the given television (or video projector).
Both variants – and “YPbPr“ and “YUV“– require the following …

What are DVDs, VCDs and S-VCDs?
DVD stands for “Digital Versatile Disc”. They are used to
store audio and video data. They are available in the
formats 8 cm and 12 cm (diameter) DVDs off er a signifi cantly higher storage capacity than CD-Rs/CD-RWs – a
playback duration of the stored audio and video data of
up to eight hours.
What are SCART, S-Video, Composite-Video
Progressive Scan and YUV?
Scart
SCART defi nes a 21-pin, standard plug connection to
transmit RGB signals, video signals and S-Video signals,
as well as a number of other control and extra signals.
S-Video
VCDs/S-VCDs
“Video-CD“ (VCD) and “Super Video-CD“ (S-VCD) defi ne
two processes that save storage space by compressed
storage of fi lms on CDs. VCDs and S-VCDs are available
in the formats 8 cm and 12 cm (diameter). Their storage
capacity is signifi cantly lower than that of DVDs. Consequently, the 8 cm format provides a storage capacity for
a playback duration of 20 minutes. and the 12 cm format
for 74 minutes.
VCDs are available in two versions:
• Version 1.1 VCDs/S-VCDs will only playback audio and
video data.
• Version 2.0 VCDs/S-VCDs features PBC (Playback Control)
functions; still frames can be reproduced in a high resolution.
Playback Control (PBC)
Version 2.0 VCDs/S-VCDs feature Playback Control
(“PBC“).
operate the diff erent functions of the VCD/S-VCD.
A main menu is available on the VCD/S-VCD to
Connecting the DVD Player to a television by way of SVideo separates brightness and colour signals to achieve
higher picture sharpness and diminish so-called “coloured
noise” caused by the superimposition of the coloured,
usually intensely saturated, parts of a video picture with
an irregular, restless disturbance structure.
Composite-Video
A video signal or FBAS signal where the video signal contains both colour and brightness information.
Progressive Scan
Normally, televisions and video projectors are controlled
by half pictures or so-called “fi elds”. This produces clearly
visible line structures. Progressive Scan, on the other hand,
defi nes the output of full pictures or so-called ‘”frames”
(with this DVD Player at the YPbPr output). Progressive
Scan signals can only be processed by appropriate playback units (primarily large-format television, projectors).
Compared with conventional video signals, the picture
quality is signifi cantly enhanced.
YUV (Component Video Out)
What are title and chapter?
Titles are the largest video and audio units on DVDs.
On many DVDs the (main) fi lm has the title number 01.
Further title numbers can be assigned to bonus material (e.g. fi lm trailers, background information, etc) on
many DVDs.
Chapters are the next smallest video and audio units below titles. If the title(s) of a DVD/VCD/S-VCD is/are divided
into chapters, then these are assigned numbers which can
be entered for direct access to the given chapter.
Please note that not all DVDs …
• feature title(s) subdivided into (numbered) chapters,
• and that chapters may also be designed as “scenes” (e.g.
in the main menu of DVDs)
YUV defi nes the component signal supplied by this unit
to the YPbPr output in the form of half-pictures or socalled “fi elds”. Normally, this is the best signal for controlling large-format televisions and projectors which
cannot process Progressive- Scan signals. As with RGB
video transmission, YUV is composed of three separate
video signals:
• the brightness signal “Y” and
•
the two colour diff erentiation signals “U” and “V”.
Fields (Interlace)/Frames (Progressive Scan)
A standard television picture is composed of 576 visible
lines; all odd lines are fi rst shown followed, in alternation, by all even lines, i.e. half-picture or fi eld. Consequently, only 30 full pictures or frames (60 fi elds) can
be displayed per second. This method is known as the
“Interlace” format.
Silvercrest KH 6508/KH 6509
Page 63
This contrasts with the “Progressive Scan” format where
all lines are shown each time, i.e. 60 frames or full pictures per second. This increases the over-all quality of
the picture so that still pictures and text appear to be
signifi cantly sharper.
Decoder
The sound on DVDs featuring home cinema surround
sound is stored in a coded form on the DVD. There are
diff erent coding formats for diff erent purposes, e.g. AC-3
to reproduce Dolby Digital surround sound.
To reproduce coded sound the playback units (e.g. DVD
Player) or the connected audio components (e.g. surround-sound units) must feature a so-called decoder to
transform the coded signals into sound and music.
DTS
DTS stands for “Digital Theatre System“ and defi nes one
of the most common surround-sound formats for DVDs.
As is the case with Dolby Digital 5.1, DTS uses three front
and two rear surround-sound channels, as well as a bass
channel.
What are PAL, NTSC and SECAM?
PAL
PAL is the abbreviation of “Phase Alternation Line“. PAL
is the customary and most wide spread colour television
standard in central and western Europe (with the exception of France; see “SECAM”).
NTSC
The Silvercrest KH 6508/KH6509 DVD-Player features an
AC-3 decoder (for Dolby Digital 5.1 surround-sound signals).
Dolby Surround
Dolby Surround is an analog sound signal that uses the
two channels of a stereo sound signal to accommodate
stereo sound information for another channel. A Dolby
surround-sound decoder transforms the sound/music signals and conducts them to two additional loudspeakers
set up behind the listening point.
Dolby Prologic
Compared with the Dolby surround-sound format, Dolby
Prologic uses another channel in the stereo signal, the cocalled “Centre” channel. The corresponding centre speaker
is positioned in the centre between the stereo speakers.
The lowest sounds are supplied to a base speaker that
is known as a “subwoofer”. The subwoofer can be positioned at any point within a room. This is because the
bass sounds reproduced by the subwoofer can hardly
be accurately localised by the human ear.
Dolby Digital (.)
Dolby Digital, also known as AC3, is a digital sound format for up to six separate audio channels. Most current
DVDs store the sound in the so-called “Dolby Digital 5.1“
format where the “5” stands for the three front and two
rear surround-sound channels, and the “1” for the bass
channel.
NTSC stands for “National Television System Committee“
and is the colour television standard used primarily in
the USA and Japan.
SECAM
NTSC stands for “National Television System Committee“
and is the colour television standard used primarily in
the USA and Japan.
Audio-CDs
Audio-CDs only hold audio data. They are likewise available in the 8 cm and 12 cm formats (diameter). Playback
duration for their stored audio data is 20 minutes (8 cm
format) and 74 minutes (12 cm format). Audio-CDs hold
audio data in CDA format.
MP
MP3 defi nes a process or format for the compression of
audio data developed by the Fraunhofer Institute. Music
compressed in the MP3 format take up only a fraction
of the original storage space so that far more music can
be stored than on, for instance, CD-Rs/CD-RWs than on
the normal commercial audio-CDs storing audio data in
CDA format.
WMA
WMA (“Windows® Media Audio“) is a fi le format for audio
data developed by Microsoft®.
Silvercrest KH 6508/KH 6509
Page 64
Nero Digital
NERO is a dta compresion program, which can compress all
video formats to less than 20% of their
original size, while still maintaining a high qualiyt. CDs, which
have been recorded with NERO, can
contain chapters and sub-titles in two languages. The CDs
are operated via the normal buttons that are used for DVDs.
Data, which are not created with the NERO Digital „Standard
Profi le“, may not play immediately or only with restrictions.
DivX
DivX is a coding format for videos and multi-medial data,
invented by DivX Networks, Inc.
JPEG
JPEG (“Joint Photographics Expert Group“) defi nes a widespread graphics format developed by the organisation
of the same name in which the video data of the colour
and grey scales are compressed.
What are folders?
Contrary to audio-CDs, the titles on a CD-R/CD-RW with
MP3, WMA and JPEG fi les are stored in folders, for instance,
to sort titles according to diff erent genres.
For instance, the structure of an MP3-CD can be as follows
if the MP3 fi les are stored in folders:
