Bit rate (page 39)
Value indicating the amount of video data compressed in
a DVD per second. The unit is Mbps (Mega bit per
second). 1 Mbps indicates that the data per second is
1,000,000 bits. The higher the bit rate i^the larger the
amount of data. However, this does not always mean that
you can get higher quahty pictures.
Chapter (page 5)
Sections of a picture or a music piece on a DVD that are
smaller thari titles. A title is composed of several chapters.
Each chapter is assigned a chapter number enabling you
to locate the chapter you want.
Digital Cinema Sound (DCS) (page 32)
The general name of technology' that Sony developed to
enjoy the surroimd sound in a home. To enjoy the
surround sound of a movie theater in the comfort of your
own home, it simulates the sound not in a concert hall as
usual but in a movie editing studio. This player adopts
VES (Virtual Enhanced Surround) system from various
DCS programs. The VES system can create the sound
image of virtual rear speakers from the sound of the front
speakers (L, R) without using actual rear speakers.
Dolby Digital (AC-3) (page 12, 29)
Digital audio compression technology' that the Dolby'
Laboratories Corporation developed. This technology
conforms to 5.1-charmel surround sound. The rear
channel is stereo and there is'discrete subwoofer channel
in this format. Dolby Digital provides the same 5.1
discrete channels of high quality digital audio found in
Dolby Digital Cinema audio sy'stems. The good charmel
separation is realized because the all channel data is
recorded discrete and processed in digital.
Dolby Pro Logic (page 32, 49)
Audio signal processing technology that Dolby
Laboratories Corporation developed for surroimd sound.
When the input signal has the surround component, the
Pro Logic process outputs the front, center and rear
signals- The rear channel is monaural.
DTS (page 50)
Digital audio compression technology that the Digital
Theater Systems, Inc. developed. This technology
conforms to 5.1-channel surround. The rear channel is
stereo and there is discrete subwoofer charmel in this
format. DTS provides the same 5.1 discrete channels of
high quality digital audio found in DTS audio systems.
The good charmel separation is realized because the aU
channel data is recorded discrete and processed in digital.
DVD (page 4)
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 single-layer and single-sided DVD,
at 4.7 GB (Giga Byte), is 7 times that of a CD.
Furthermore, the data capacity of a dual-layer and smgle-
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
GB.
The picture data uses the MPEG 2 format, one of the
worldwide standards of digital compression 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 recorded in Dolby Digital (AC-3) as well
as in PCM, allowing you to enjoy more real audio
presence.
Furthermore, various advanced functions such as the
multi-angle, multilingual, and Parental Control functions
are provided with the DVD.
Multi-angle function (page 31)
Various angles, or view'points of the video camera, for a
scene are recorded on some DVDs.
Multilingual function (page 14, 30, 44)
Several languages for the sound or subtitles in a picture
are recorded on some DVDs.
Parental Control (page 46)
A function of the DVD to limit playback of the disc by the
age of the users according to tlie limitation level in each
country. 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) (page 20)
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.
Page 61
Title (page 5)
The longest sections of a picture or a music piece on a
DVD; a movie, etc., for a picture piece on video software;
or an album, etc., for a music piece on an audio software.
Each title is assigned a title number enabling you te-locate
the title you want.
Track (page 5)
Sections of a picture or a music piece on a CD or VIDEO
CD. Each track is assigned a track number enablmg you to
locate the track you want.
VIDEO CD (page 4)
A compact disc that contains moving pictures.
The picture data uses the MPEG 1 format, one of the
worldwide standards of digital compression technology.
The picture 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 contain compact audio data. Soimds
outside the range of human hearing are compressed while
the sounds we can hear are not compressed. VIDEO CDs
can hold 6 times the audio information of conventional
audio CDs.
There are 2 versions of VIDEO CDs.
• Version 1.1; You can play only moving pictures and
sounds.
• Version 2.0: You can play high-resolution stUl pictures
