Region Code
This system is used to protect copyrights. A 
region number is allocated on each DVD system 
or DVD disc according to the sales region. Each 
region code is shown on the system 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 
the region code is not shown on the DVD, the 
region limit may still be activated.
Scene
On a VIDEO CD with PBC (playback control) 
functions, the menu screens, moving pictures 
and still pictures are divided into sections called 
“scenes.”
Super Audio CD
This audio format is based upon the current 
audio CD standards but includes a greater 
amount of information which provides higher 
quality sound. There are three types of discs: 
single layer, double layer and hybrid discs. The 
hybrid disc contains both standard audio CD and 
Super Audio CD information.
Title
The longest section of a picture or music feature 
on a DVD, movie, etc., in video software, or the 
entire album in audio software. 
Track
Section of a picture or a music piece on a Super 
Audio CD, CD, VIDEO CD or MP3. An album 
is composed of several tracks (MP3 only). 
VIDEO CD
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. 
Sounds 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 still 
pictures and enjoy PBC functions.
This system conforms to both versions.
