Frequently asked questions
Reference pages are shown in parentheses.
What kind of equipment is 
necessary to enjoy 5.1ch 
audio?Connect to an AV amplifier (that has 5.1ch audio output terminals) 
displaying the Dolby Digital/DTS logo. (32)

multi channel surround sound.
Can I play a DVD-Video 
bought in another country?You can play if the region number includes “1” or “ALL” and the

Glossary
Down-mixing
This is a process of remixing the multi-channel audio (surround sound) on some discs into two 
channels. When you want to listen to the audio on a DVD with a 5.1 channel digital surround track 
through your television speakers, the down-mixed audio will be output.
Some DVD-Audio prevent down-mixing of all or part of their contents. When playing such discs, or 
such parts of the disc, audio will not be output properly.
MPEG4
A compression system for use on mobile devices or a network, that allows highly efficient recording 
at a low bit rate. 
Packet Writing
“Packet Writing” is one method of data recording used. Very small amounts of data referred to as 
“Packets” are divided into very small units and written as “Packets”. Music CDs cannot be created 
with this method. 
Sampling frequency
Sampling is the process of converting the heights of sound wave (analog signal) samples taken at 
set periods into digits (digital encoding). Sampling frequency is the number of samples taken per 
second, so larger numbers mean more faithful reproduction of the original sound.
