DISC FEATURES __________________________________________________________________________

You can control and direct playback of the VCD/S-VCD using the menu of the

DVD Micro System on the television screen.

S-VCDs can contain different dubbed languages and subtitles.

PBC (playback control)

PBC is a navigation option for VCDs/S-VCDs. PBC switches between the playlist structure (the menu on the VCD/S-VCD) and manual selection by the user.

PBC is activated after the VCD/S-VCD has been scanned. This function allows interactive playback of the VCD/S-VCD if you follow the menu on the television screen.

MP3/WMA CD features

MP3 stand for MPEG-1 Audio Layer 3, WMA for Windows Media Audio. Both formats enable audio files to be saved on a computer with a sound quality simi- lar to that of a CD. The standard encoding bit rate for MP3 files is 128 kbps. Generally, the higher the bit rate of a file, the better the sound quality.

Most MP3 files on the Internet are encoded at 128 or 160 kbps. 160 kbps is considered CD quality. MP3/WMA files can be downloaded from the Internet and then burned onto a CD ROM disc. MP3/WMA CDs contain only sound recordings.

In MP3/WMA mode, the terms “album” and “file” are very important. “Album” corresponds to a folder on a PC, and “file” to a file on a PC or a CD-DA track.

Audio CD features

An audio CD (CD-DA) is identified by this logo.

Audio CDs contain only sound recordings. They can be played in the normal manner on an audio system. The individual tracks are stored in a sequence. There are no folders.

As well as audio CDs, the DVD Micro System can also read CD-R and CD-RW with audio data.

JPEG Picture CD features

JPEG stands for Joint Picture Experts Group. This process was designed to compress picture files.

JPEG files can be burned onto a CD along with other file types. Such CDs are known as file CDs or mixed mode CDs. For example, the CD could contain MP3 files (audio) and JPEG files (for example to display album covers).

The files on a JPEG CD can be organised in directories. This structure is similar to that of an MP3 CD.

JPEG CDs only contain data in the compressed JPEG format. This is mostly data from digital cameras or from picture processing programs. The data (pictures) can be displayed individually or in sequence in a slide show.
