Reference
Glossary
Decoder
A decoder 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 can 
also be multi-channel audio. A large amount of audio information can 
be recorded on one disc using this method.
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.
Dynamic range
Dynamic range is the difference between the lowest level of sound 
that can be heard above the noise of the equipment and the highest 
level of sound before distortion occurs.
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.
Frame still and field still
Frames are the still pictures that go together to make a moving 
picture. There are about 30 frames shown each second.
One frame is made up of two fields. A regular television shows these 
fields one after the other to create frames.
A still is shown when you pause a moving picture. 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.
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. The video signals output from this unit’s 
COMPONENT VIDEO OUT terminals (Y, P
B, PR) allow you to enjoy 
higher quality pictures than if the signals were output from the 
VIDEO OUT terminal or S-VIDEO OUT terminal.
I/P/B
MPEG 2, the video compression standard adopted for use with
DVD-Video, codes frames using these 3 picture types.
I:Intra coded picture
This picture has the best quality and is the best to use when 
adjusting the picture.
P:Predictive coded picture
This picture is calculated based on past I or P-pictures.
B: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.
Linear PCM (pulse code modulation)
These are uncompressed digital signals, similar to those found on 
CDs. 
Playback control (PBC)
If a Video CD has playback control, you can select scenes and 
information with menus.
WMA, MP3, CD text and JPEG information
≥Discs must conform to ISO9660 level 1 or 2 (except for extended 
for mats). 
≥This unit is compatible with multi-session but if there are a lot of 
sessions it takes more time for play to start. Keep the number of 
sessions to a minimum to avoid this.
≥The order tracks appear in the menus may differ to the order shown 
on your computer. 
[WMA]
≥Noise may occur when playing WMA files.
≥You cannot play WMA files that are copy protected.
[MP3]
≥This unit is not compatible with ID3 tags.
≥If you play an MP3 track that includes still picture data, it will take 
some time before the music itself starts playing and the elapsed 
time will not be displayed during this time. Even after the track 
starts, the correct play time will not be displayed.
[JPEG]
≥To view JPEG files on this unit:
— Take them on a digital camera that meets the DCF (Design rule 
for Camera File System) standard. Some digital cameras have 
functions that are not supported by the DCF standard like 
automatic picture rotation which may render a picture un-
viewable.
— Do not alter the files in any way or save them under a different 
name.
≥This unit cannot display moving pictures, Motion JPEG and other 
such formats, still pictures other than JPEG (i.e. TIFF) or play 
associated sound.
Windows Media, and the Windows logo are 
trademarks, or registered trademarks of 
Microsoft Corporation in the United States 
and/or other countries.
WMA is a compression format developed 
by Microsoft Corporation. It achieves the 
same sound quality as MP3 with a file size 
that is smaller than that of MP3.
