DVD+RW (page 6)

A DVD+RW (plus RW) is a recordable and rewritable disc. DVD+RWs use a recording format that is comparable to the DVD VIDEO format.

File (page 62, 65)

A JPEG image recorded on a DATA CD or a DivX video on a DATA CD/DATA DVD (“File” is an exclusive definition for this player.) A single file consist of a single image or movie.

Film based software, Video based software (page 19)

DVDs can be classified as Film based or Video based software. Film based DVDs contain the same images (24 frames per second) that are shown at movie theatres. Video based DVDs, such as television dramas or sit-coms, displays images at 30 frames/60 fields (24 frames/50 fields) per second.

MPEG audio (page 21, 86)

International standard coding system used to compress audio digital signals authorized by ISO/IEC. MPEG 1 conforms to up to 2- channel stereo. MPEG 2, used on DVDs, conforms to up to 7.1-channel surround.

Normal (Interlace) format (page 19)

Normal (Interlace) format shows every other line of an image as a single “field” and is the standard method for displaying images on television. The even number field shows the even numbered lines of an image, and the odd numbered field shows the odd numbered lines of an image.

Progressive format (page 19) Compared to the Interlace format that alternately shows every other line of an image (field) to create one frame, the Progressive format shows the entire image at once as a single frame. This means that while the Interlace format can show 25 or 30 frames (50-60 fields) in one second, the Progressive format can show 50-60 frames in one second. The overall picture quality increases and still images, text, and horizontal lines appear sharper. This player is compatible with the 525 or 625 progressive format.

Progressive JPEG

Progressive JPEGs are used mostly on the internet. They are different from other JPEGs in that they “fade in” gradually instead of being drawn from top to bottom when displayed on a browser. This lets you view the image while it is being downloaded.

Scene (page 10)

On a VIDEO CD with PBC (playback control) functions, the menu screens, moving pictures and still pictures are divided into sections called “scenes.”

Super Audio CD (page 6)

A Super Audio CD disc can reproduce sounds that are extremely faithful to the original sound by use of DSD (Direct Stream Digital) technology. This technology utilizes a

sampling frequency of 2.8224 MHz, which is

Additional

 

64 times that of a conventional CD, and 1-bit

 

quantization that enables the disc to hold 4

 

times the amount of information that a

Information

standard PCM format CD can hold. Super

 

Audio CDs are divided into the following

 

types.

 

• Super Audio CD (single layer disc)

 

This disc consists of a single HD layer*.

 

*High density signal layer for the Super Audio CD

 

 

 

HD (high density) layer

 

 

 

 

•Super Audio CD (dual layer disc)

This disc consists of dual HD layers and is capable of extended play over long periods.
