Pioneer DV-F727 operating instructions MASTER-SLAVE Control, Mpeg, Pcm

MASTER-SLAVE CONTROL

MASTER-SLAVE control refers to two identical units connected together for joint control. The first player (Master) receives remote control signals for both units and controls the disc selection, audio and video output, and information displays of the second player (Slave).

MPEG

Short for Moving Picture Experts Group. This is an international standard for compression of moving images. On some DVDs, digital audio has been compressed and recorded in this format.

Multi-angle

In a TV or movie studio, a single image is usually filmed by more than one camera at the same time, and one of those images is selected by the program director and transmitted to your TV. Some DVD discs are recorded with the angles of more than one camera used for filming, and these can be selected using this player. These types of discs are called multi-angle discs.

Multi-Language 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.

Multiple Language

The Multiple Language feature refers to the actual audio language that you hear while enjoying DVD playback. Up to 8 different language tracks can be recorded on a DVD. The Multiple Language function can be used to select the audio language of your choice.

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.

PBC (Playback Control)

This refers to signals recorded on a 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.

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.

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.

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 ë 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.
