audio tracks when a NICAM programme is received, set “MONAURAL” to “ON” (OPTION l 22).

IMPORTANT

When NV-VP33GN is switched on, the tuner will be automatically switched to a NICAM broadcast, if NICAM is being transmitted. ≥At this time the NICAM signal is transmitted on stereo channels

only, since the M1 and M2 formats are not yet available. Even if the sound track is MONO, the stereo indicator will appear.

Bitstream

Digitized and compressed audio signal It is decoded by decoders into multi-channel audio signals, such as

5.1 channels.

Decoder

A device restores the coded audio signals on DVDs to normal. This is called decoding.

Dolby Digital

This is a method of coding digital signals developed by Dolby Laboratories. Apart from stereo (2-channel) audio, these signals are also compatible with 5.1-channel audio. A large amount of audio information can be recorded on one disc using this method.

Dolby Pro Logic

A surround system where a 4-channel audio track is recorded as 2 channels and then is restored to 4 channels for play.

DTS (Digital Theater Systems)

This surround system is used in many movie theaters around the world. There is good separation between the channels, so realistic sound effects are possible.

Film and video

DVD-Videos are recorded using either film or video. Usually, film is recorded at 24 frames per second, the rate movies are filmed at, while video is recorded at 30 frames per second.

ID3 tag

MP3 file that has an area in which the character-based information referred to as ID3 tag, is stored. The information of the track, such as the title, artist name, etc. can be stored here. The information can be displayed on players supporting the ID3 tag when a track is played back. However, this unit cannot because it does not support the ID3 tag.

Interlace and progressive output

NTSC, the video signal standard, has 480 interlaced (i) scan lines, whereas progressive scanning uses twice the number of scan lines. This is called 480p.

I/P/B

The DVD recording system shares the data commonly used by screens and uses screen-independent data individually for each screen to store the data on the disc efficiently.

≥I-picture (Intra coded picture):

A frame recorded independently as reference for commonly used data.

≥P-picture (Predictive coded picture):

This picture is calculated based on past I- or P-pictures.

≥B-picture (Bidirectionally-predictive coded picture):

This picture is calculated by comparing past and future I- and P-pictures so it has the lowest volume of information.

I-picture has the best quality and is the best to use when adjusting the picture.

Linear PCM (Pulse Code Modulation)

These are uncompressed digital signals, similar to those found on CDs.

Multi-session

≥This means recording data onto a CD-R/CD-RW disc several

times. “Read-in/Programme area/Read-out” of the data on a disc makes one session.

≥If data, such as music, is added onto a pre-recorded CD-R/RW

disc, a new session will be added. Such a disc is referred to as a multisession disc.

≥Normal audio CD players can play back only the first session. On

the other hand, this unit can play back 2 or more sessions.

Playback control (PBC)

≥If a Video CD has playback control, you can select scenes and

information with menus.

≥In this manual, playing back of the contents of a Video CD using

the menu screen is referred to as “Menu play” for Video CD.

Frame and field

Frames are the still pictures that go together to make a moving picture. A frame is made up of 2 fields.

=

Frame

≥A frame still is made up of two alternating fields, so the picture may

appear blurred, but overall quality is high.

≥A field still is not blurred, but it has only half the information of a

frame still so picture quality is lower.
