DISC NOTES

Compatible Disc Types

DVD Video

DVDs contain excellent sound and video quality due to Dolby Digital and MPEG2 encoding. A DVD is 12 cm in diameter and can hold more than seven times the data of a CD-ROM. The maximum playing time can be up to 2 hours (a double-sided DVD is up to 4 hours). There are four types of DVD discs: single-layer single-sided (1), two-layer single-sided (2), single-layer double- sided (3), and two-layer double-sided (4).

CD-DA

CD-DA discs can play voice data. The playing time of the standard 12 cm CD-DA disc is 74 minutes.

DTS-CD

The DTS digital surround sound uses 6 digital sound tracks to replace the analog voice tracks in movies.

HDCD

HDCD, or “High Definition Compatible Digital,” is a recording/playing technology that improves CD audio quality. Based on full compliance with CD specifications, it can enhance the quality and quantity of digital sounds in the highest scale. It encodes the required messages that were deserted by the CD format, and stores the related commands into the LSB. Without changing the CD format, it is output through the 24-bit D/A converter, which will ultimately enhance the quality of playback.
