Track

Sections of a picture or a music piece on a disc. Each track is assigned with a track number to locate the track you want.

VIDEO CD

A compact disc that contains moving pictures.

The picture information uses the MPEG 1 format, one of the world wide standards of digital compact technology. The picture information is compressed about 120 times. Consequently, a 12 cm VIDEO CD can contain up to 74 minutes of moving pictures.

VIDEO CDs also contain compact audio information. Sounds outside the range of human hearing are compressed while the sounds we can hear aren’t compressed. VIDEO CDs can hold 6 times the audio information of conventional audio CDs.

There are 2 versions of VIDEO CDs.

Version 1.1: You can play only moving pictures and sounds.

Version 2.0: You can play high-resolution still pictures and enjoy PBC functions.

This player conforms to both versions.
