For LD discs, the AC-3 RF OUT (LD) jack must be connected to the amplifier’s AC-3 RF IN jack.

PCM

PCM stands for Pulse Code Modulation and is digital audio. The digital audio of CD, LD or DVD discs is PCM.

Title number

Title numbers refer to titles of movies etc. As DVD discs have a large capacity, many movies can be recorded on one disc. For example, when 3 different movies are recorded on a disc, they are divided into TITLE 1, TITLE 2 and TITLE 3. Playback can be operated by selecting the title number.

Chapter number

Chapter numbers are the numbers assigned to sections on a title of the disc, similar to chapters in a book. If the disc includes these numbers, you can locate the section you want very quickly using chapter search and other functions.

¦Some discs may not include chapter numbers.

Frame number

This is the number recorded in each frame on a standard CAV disc. You can use frame numbers for such operations as Frame Search for a desired frame.

Time number

The time number is the playback lapse time of a title in the disc from its beginning. The scene you want to locate can be searched for with the time number using the time number function etc.

Surround

This is a surround effect for karaoke fun with a more expansive sound and added atmosphere.
