DISC FEATURES ____________________________________

You can control and direct playback of the VCD/S-VCD using the menu of the DVD receiver on the television screen.

S-VCDs can contain different dubbed languages and subtitles.

PBC (playback control)

VCDs/S-VCDs can be created using the PBC (playback control) system for track navigation. 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 stands 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 similar to that of a CD. The standard encoding bit rate for MP3 files is 128 kbps. The fundamental rule applies: 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 Inter- net and then burned onto a CD ROM disc using suitable PC software.

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

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 receiver can also read CD R and CD RW with audio data.

JPEG/Kodak picture CD features

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

The files on a JPEG CD can be organised in directories. This structure is sim- ilar 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 imaging pro- grams. The data (images) can be displayed individually or in sequence in a slide show.
