Chapter

Sections of a picture or a music piece on a DVD that are smaller than titles. A title i s composed of several chapters. Each chapter is assigned a chapter number enabling you to locate the chapter you want.

Dolby Digital

This sound format for movie theaters 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. This form at is also called “5.1” because the subwoofer channel is counted as 0.1 chan nel (since it functions onl y when a deep bass effect is needed). All six channels in this format are recorded separately to realize superior channel separation. Furthermore, since all the si gnals are proce ssed digitally, less signal degradation occurs.

Dolby Surround Pro Logic

As one method of de coding Dolby Surround, Dolby Surround Pro Logic produces four channels from t w o- channel sound. Com pared with the former Dolby Surr ound system, Dolby Surround Pro Logic reproduces left-to-right panning more naturally and localizes sounds more precisely. To take full advantage of Dolby Surround Pro Logic, you should have one pair of surround speakers and a center speaker. The surround speakers output monaural sound.

nN to resume play m anually.

DTS

Digital audio compression technology that the Digital Theater Systems, Inc. developed. This technology conforms to 5.1-channel surrou nd. The surround chan nel is stereo and there i s discrete sub woofer channel in this format. DTS provides the same 5. 1 di screte channels of hi gh quality digital audio. The good channel separatio n is realize d because the all chann el data is recorded dis cr et e and processed in digital.

DVD

A disc that contain s up to 8 hours of moving pictures even though its diameter is the same as a CD. The data capacity of a single-layer and singlesided DVD, at 4.7 GB (giga byte), is 7 times that of a CD. Furthermore , the data capacity of a dual-layer and single-sided DVD is 8.5 GB, a single-layer and double-sided DVD 9.4 GB, and a dual-layer and double-sided DVD 17 G B . The picture data uses the MPEG 2 format, one of the worldwide standards of digital compression technology. The pict ur e data is compressed to about 1/40 of its original size. The DVD al so uses the variable rate coding technology that changes the data to be allocate d according to the status of the picture. The audio data is recorded in Dolby Digital as well as in PCM, allowing you to enjoy more realistic audio pr esence. Furthermor e, various advanced functions suc h as the multi-angle, multilingual, and Parental Control functions are provided with the DVD.

File

Section of a picture on a data CD containing JPEG image files.

Film based software, Video based software

DVDs can be classified as Film based or Video based software. Film based DVDs contain the same images (24 frames per second) that are shown at movie theaters. Video based DVDs, such as television dramas or sitcoms, displays images at 30 frames (or 60 fields) per second.

Page 63

Index (CD) / Video Index (Video CD)

A number that divides a track into sections to easily locate the point you w ant on a V id eo CD or a CD. Depending on the disc, no indexes may be recorded.

Interlace format (Interlaced scanning)

The Interlace format is the NTSC standard method for displaying TV images at 30 frames per second. Each fra m e i s s canned twice alternately between the even numbered scanning lines and then odd nu m bered scanning lines , at 60 times per second.

Menu Playback

Playback using the menu screens re corded on Video CDs with the PBC function. You can enjoy simple interactive software using the menu playback function.

Multi-angle function

Various angles, or viewpoints of the video camera, for a scene are recorded on some DVDs.

Multilingual function

Several languages for the sound or subtitles in a picture are recorded on some DVDs.

Multi Session

This is a recording method that enables adding of data using the Track-At-Once method. Conventional CDs begi n at a CD control area called the Lead-in and end at an area called Lead-out. A Multi Session CD is a CD having multiple sessions, with each segment from Lead-in to Lea d-out re garded as a singl e session . CD-Extra: This forma t recor ds audio (audio CD data) on the tracks in session 1 and data on the tracks in session 2.

Parental Control

A function of the DVD to limit playback of the disc by the age of th e users according t o t he limitation level in each country/region. The limitation varies from disc to disc; when it is activated, playback is completely prohibited, violent scenes are skipped or replaced with other scenes and so on.

Playback Control (PBC)

Signals enc ode d o n V ide o CD s (Ve rs ion2.0) to control playback. By using menu screens recorded on Video CDs with PBC functions, you can enjoy playing simple interactive programs, programs with s earch functions, and so on. This system co nforms to Ver. 1.1 and Ver. 2.0 of Video CD standards. You can enjoy two kinds of playback depending on the disc type.

• Video CDs without the PBC function (Ver. 1.1 discs)

Enjoy video playback (moving pictures) as well as music.

• Video CDs with the PBC function (Ver. 2.0 discs)

Play interactive software using menu screens displayed on the TV screen (PBC Playback), in addition to the video playback functions of Ver. 1.1 discs. Moreove r, you can play highresolution still pictures, if they are included on the disc.

Progressive format (sequential scanning)

Compared to the Int erlace format that alternately shows every other line of an image (field) to create one frame, the Progress i v e format shows the entire image at once as a single frame. This means that while the Interlace format can show 30 frames (60 fi el ds) in one second, the Progressive for m at can show 60 fram es in one second. The overall picture quality increases and still images, text , an d horizontal lines appear sharper. This player is compatible with 525 progressive format.

Region Code

This system is used to protect copyri ghts. A region number is allocated on each DVD system or DVD disc according to the sales r egion. Eac h region code is shown on the sy stem as well as on the disc packaging. The system can play the discs that match its region code. The system can also play discs with the “ ” mark. Even when

ALL

the region code is not shown on the DVD, the region limit may still be activated.

Video CD

A compact disc that contains moving pictures. The picture data uses the MPEG 1 format, one of the worldwide standards for digit al compression technology. The pict ur e 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. Video CDs also contai n compact audio data. Sounds outside th e range of human hearin g are compressed whil e t he sounds we can hear ar e not compressed. Video CDs can hold 6 times the audio informatio n of conventional audio C D s. There are 2 versions of V ideo CDs.

• Version 1.1: You can play only moving pictures and sounds.

• Version 2.0: You can play high-resolution still pictures and enj oy the PBC function .

This system conform s t o both versions.
