Parental lock level

This function was suggested by parents concerned about what type of media their children were able to watch. Parental lock restrictions are restrictions incorporated into titles which include scenes that parents may not wish their children to view.

PCM

PCM stands for Pulse Code Modulation and is digital audio. The digital audio of CDs is PCM. This player also has a function that converts Dolby Digital and MPEG digital bitstreams into PCM to enable you to listen to quality digital sound even without a special decoder.

Playback Control (PBC)

This refers to signals recorded on a Super VCD/Video CD (Version 2.0) enabling playback control.

You can use menus recorded on discs with PBC for easy, interactive search for desired scenes, and playback.

You can also enjoy viewing high-resolution/standard resolution still images.

Regional restriction codes (region number)

Regional restriction codes are built in to DVD players and DVD discs for each sales region. If the regional code of the DVD player does not match one of the regional codes of the DVD disc, playback is not possible.

The region number can be found on the rear panel of the DVD player. The illustration below shows the regions and corresponding region numbers.

Sampling Frequency

When a sound wave is converted to a digital signal, the sound is sampled and converted to data at a specific frequency rate. For example, a signal with a 96 kHz sampling rate indicates that in one second, the analog signal was sampled 96000 times to produce the digital signal.

Subtitle

Subtitles are language titles superimposed on movies, or other media. Up to 32 different subtitle languages can be recorded on a DVD disc. The subtitle function can be used to select the language of your choice.

S-video

Connecting the S-video output on the player to a TV or monitor with S-video input via an S-video cable produces clearer picture reproduction by sending separate signals for the luminance and the color. These signals are then combined by the television to produce a better quality picture.

System control

When you connect this player via a cord with a mini plug to another Pioneer component such as a receiver or an amplifier bearing the Î mark, you can control the player as though it were a component in a system. To control the player, point the player’s remote control at the component that the player is connected to, and not the player itself.

Time number

The time number corresponds to the elapsed playback time of a disc from its beginning. When using the time search function, use the time number to locate scenes that occur at the time selected.

Title number

DVD discs are divided into units referred to as titles, and titles are divided into chapters. Menu screens do not belong to any title. A disc which contains a movie may have only one title with many or no chapter divisions. Karaoke discs may have many titles, assigning a title to each song on the disc.

TruSurround

TruSurround is a simulated surround system which produces a surround sound effect from stereo speakers.
