Guide to the Serial Copy Management System

Digital audio com ponents, such as CDs , MD s, and DATs let you copy music easily with high quality by processing music as a digital signal. To protect the copyrighted music programs, a system uses the Ser i al Co py Management System that allo w s you to make only a single copy of a digitally recorded source through digital-to-digital connections.

You can make only a first generation copy* through a digital-to-digital connection.

For example:

1 You can make a copy of a commercially

available digital sound programme (for example, a CD), but you cannot make a second copy from the first-generation copy.

2 You can make a copy of a digital signal from

a digitally recorded analogue sound programme (for example, an analogue record or a music cassette tape) or from a digital satellite broadcast programme, but you cannot make a second copy.

* A first-generation copy means a digital recording of

a digital signal made on digital audio equipment. For example, if you record from this system’s DVD player to the connected optional MD deck, you make a first-generation copy.

Chapter

Subdivision of a title on a DVD. A title is composed of several chapters .

DCS (Digital Cinema Sound)

In collaboration with Sony Pictures Entertainment, So ny m easured the sound environment of th ei r studios and integrat ed the data of the measure m ent and Sony’s own DSP (Digital Signal Processor) technol ogy to develop “Digital Cinema Sound”. “Digital Cinema Sound” sim ul at es in a home theatre an ideal movie theatre sound environment based on the preference of the movie director.

Dolby Digital

This sound format for movie theatres 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 Log ic

As one method of decoding Dolby Surround, Dolby Surround Pro Lo gi c produces four channels from two-channel sound. Compared with the form er D olby Surround sy stem, Dolby Surround Pro Logic r eproduces left-to-ri ght panning more natur al ly and localizes sounds more precisely. To take full advant age of Dolby Surround Pro Logic, you should have one pair of front speakers, surround speakers and a center speaker. Th e surround speake rs output monaur al sound.

Dolby Pro Logic II

Dolby Pro Logic II cr eates five full-ban dw i dth output channels from two-channel sources. This is done using an adva nced, high-purity ma tr i x surround decoder that extracts the spatial properties of the or iginal recording w i th out adding any new sounds or tonal colorations.

• Dolby Pro Logic II Movie

The Movie mode is for use with stereo television shows and all prog rammes encoded in Dolby Surround. The result is enhanced soundfield directionality tha t a pproaches the quality of discrete 5.1-ch annel sound.

• Dolby Pro Logic II Music

The Music mode is f or use with an y stereo musi c recordings, and provides a wide and deep sound space.

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 subwoofer 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.

Page 69

DVD

A disc that contains up to 8 hours of moving pictures even though its diameter is the same as a CD. The data capacity of a si ngle-layer and sing l esided DVD, at 4.7 GB (Giga Byte), is 7 times that of a CD. Fu rthermor e, the data cap acity o f a dual-layer and single-sided DVD is 8. 5 G B , a single-layer and double-sided DVD 9.4 GB, and a dual-layer and double-sided DVD 17 GB. The pictur e data uses the MPE G 2 format, on e of the worldwide standards of digital compression technology. The pict ur e data is compressed to about 1/40 of its orig in al size. The DVD also 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 theatres. Video based DVDs, such as television dramas or sit-coms, displays images at 30 frames (or 60 fields) per second.

Index (CD/Super Audio CD) / Video Index (VIDEO CD)

A number that divides a track into sections to easily l ocate th e point you want on a VIDE O CD or a CD. Depending on the disc, no indexes may be recorded.

Menu Playback

Multilingual function

Several languages for the sound or subt itles in a picture are recorded on some DV Ds.

Parental Control

A function of the DVD to limit playback of the disc by the age of th e users according to t h e 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 encoded on VIDEO CDs (Version 2.0) to control playback. By using menu screens recorded on VIDEO CDs with PBC functions, you can enjoy playing simple interactive programs, programs with search functions, and so on. This system conforms 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 PBC functions (Ver. 1.1 discs)

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

VIDEO CDs with PBC functions (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. Moreover, you can pl ay highresolution still pictures, if they are included on the disc.

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

Disc

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 con t ain 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 information of conventional audio CDs. There are 2 versions of V ID EO CDs.

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

• Version 2.0: You can play high-resol ution still pictures and enjoy PBC functions.
