sensation in your listening room by shifting
the sound of the front speakers “into” the
screen.

Reproduces the reverberations peculiar to a
movie theater.
Cinema Studio EX is the integrated mode which
operates these elements simultaneously.

Bit Rate
Value indicating th e am ount of video data
compressed in a DVD per second. The unit is
Mbps (Mega bit per second). 1 Mbps indicates
that the data per seco nd i s 1, 000,000 bits. The
higher the bit rate is, th e l arger the amount of
data. However, this does not always mean that
you can get higher qua lit y pictures.
Chapter

Digital Infrared Audio Transmission
Recent times have been witness to the rapid
spread of DVDs, Digital Broadcasting Satellite
Receiver and other high-quality media. In order
to ensure that the su btle nuances endo w ed by
these high-quality media would be transmitted
with no accompanyi ng deterioration, So ny
developed a technology cal led “Dig ital In frared
Audio Transmission” for the infrared
transmission of d igital audio signals usi ng no
compression, and it introduced it into the DHCFLX9W.
This technology transfers digital audio signals
using no compression inside the sub carrier
frequency band allocated by the IEC
(International Electronic Committee) and
JEITA (Japan Electronics and Information
Technology Industries Association) for hi-fi
audio transmissi on applications.

Dolby Digital
This sound format for movie theaters is more
advanced than Dolby Surround Pro Logic. In
this format, the rear speakers o u t put stereo
sound with an expa nded frequenc y range and a
subwoofer ch annel for deep bass is
independently provided. This format is also
called “5.1” because the subwoofer channel is
counted as 0.1 channel (since it functions only
when a deep bass effect is needed). All six
channels in this format are recorded separately
to realize superior channel separation.
Furthermore, si nce all the signals are proces sed
digitally, less si gnal degradation occurs.
Dolby Pro Logic II
Dolby Pro Logic II creates five full-bandwi dt h
output ch annel s f rom t wo- channe l so urc es. This
is done using an ad vanced, high-purity matrix
surround deco der that extracts the sp at i al
properties of the original recording withou t
adding any new sounds or tonal colorations.
• Dolby Pro Logic II Movie
The Movie mode is for use with stereo televi sion
shows and all progr ammes encoded in Dol by
Surround. The result is enhanced soundfield
directionality that approaches the quality of
discrete 5.1-channel sound.
• Dolby Pro Logic II Music
The Music mode is for use with any stereo music
recordings, and provides a wide and deep sound
space.
Dolby Surround Pro Logic
As one method of decoding Dolby Surr ound,
Dolby Surro und Pro Logic produces four
channels from two- channel sound. Comp ar ed
with the former Dolby Surround system, Dolby
Surround Pro Log i c reproduces left-to- ri ght
panning more naturally and localizes sounds
more precisely. To take full advantage of Dolby
Surround Pro Logic, you should have one pair of
rear speakers and a center speaker. T he rear
speakers output m onaural sound.

DTS
Digital audio compression technology that the
Digital Theater Syst em s , Inc. developed. This
technology conforms to 5.1-channel surround.
The rear channel is st ereo and there is disc rete
subwoofer channel in this format. DTS provides
the same 5.1 discret e channels of high qualit y
digital audio. The good channel separation is
realized be cause the a ll ch annel data i s r ecorde d
discrete and processed in digital.
DVD
A disc that contains up to 8 hours of moving
pictures ev en though it s 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-sid ed DVD 9.4 GB, and
a dual-layer and double-sided DVD 17 GB.
The picture data uses the MPEG 2 format, one of
the worldwide standards of dig ita l co mpr es sion
technology. The picture data is compressed to
about 1/40 of its original size. The DVD also
uses the variable rate coding technology that
changes the data to be allocated according to the
status of the picture.
The audio data is re corded in Dolby Digi ta l as
well as in PCM, allowing yo u to enjoy more r eal
audio presence. Fu rt hermore, various advanced
functions such as the multi-angle, multilingual,
and Parental Control functions are provided
with the DVD.
Index (CD) / Video Index (VIDEO CD)
A number that divides a track into sections to
easily locate the point you want on a VIDEO CD
or a CD. Depending on the disc, no indexes may
be recorded.
Multi-angle function
Various angles , or viewpoints of the video
camera, for a scene ar e recorded on so me DVDs.
Multilingual function
Several lang ua ges fo r the so und or subt itl es in a
picture are recorded on some DVDs.
Parental Control
A function of the DVD to limit playback of the
disc by the age of the users according to the
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 (Ver si on 2.0)
to control playba ck. By using menu screens
recorded on VIDEO CDs with PBC functions,
you can enjoy playin g simple interactive
programs, prog rams 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 dependi ng 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 men u s creens
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
Compared to the Interlace format that alternately
shows every other line of an image (field) to
create one frame, the Progressive fo rm at shows
the entire image at once as a single fram e. This
means that while the Interlace format can show
30 frames (60 fields) in one second, t he
Progressive for mat can show 60 frames in one
second. The overall picture quality increases and
still images, text, and horizontal lines appear
sharper. This player is compatible with the 525
progressive fo r m at.

Region Code
This system is used to protect copyrights. A
region number is allocated o n each DVD system
or DVD disc accordi ng to the sal es region . Each
region code is shown on the system as well as on
the disc packaging. Th e 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.
Scene
On a VIDEO CD with PBC functions (page 31),
the menu screens, moving pictures, and still
pictures are divide d i nt o sections called
“scenes”. Each scene is assigned a scene number
enabling you to locate the scene you want.
Super Audio CD
Super Audio CD is a new high quality audio disc
standard that records using the DSD (Direct
Stream Digital) f ormat instead of the PCM
format used for current CD s, et c. The DSD
format has a sampling frequenc y 64 times that of
current CDs, an d uses 1-bit quantization to
ensure a sufficient dynamic range and mo re
faithfully reprod uce the original sound ov er a
vastly wider playb ack range and audible r ange
than current CDs.
There are various types of Super Audio CD as
follows.
• Super Audio CD (single layer disc)
Discs with only a single HD (high density)
layer (high density signal layer fo r Super
Audio CD)
• Super Audio CD (dual layer disc)
Discs with two HD layers that allow longtime playback. These discs have a two-layer
structure but only one side is read, so there is
no need to turn over th e disc.
• Super Audio CD + C D (hybrid disc)
Two-layer discs with a HD layer and a CD
layer. These discs have a two-layer structure
but only one side is read, so there is no need
to turn over the disc. In additi on, the CD layer
contents can be pl ayed even by a normal CD
player.
• T wo-channel + multi-channel Super Audio
CD discs
Super Audio CD discs with both a twochannel area and a multi-channe l area
recorded in the HD layer.
