Chapter (page 16)

Sections of a movie or a music piece on a DVD that are smaller than titles. A title is composed of several chapters. Each chapter is assigned a chapter number enabling you to locate the chapter you want.

Dolby Digital (page 8, 20)

Digital audio compression technology developed by Dolby Laboratories. This technology conforms to 5.1-channel surround sound. The rear channel is stereo and there is a discrete subwoofer channel in this format. Dolby Digital provides the same 5.1 discrete channels of high quality digital audio found in Dolby Digital cinema audio systems. Good channel separation is realized because all of the channel data is recorded discretely and processed in digital.

DTS (page 8, 20)

Digital audio compression technology that Digital Theater Systems, Inc. developed. This technology conforms to 5.1-channel surround. The rear channel is stereo and there is a discrete subwoofer channel in this format. DTS provides the same 5.1 discrete channels of high quality digital audio. Good channel separation is realized because all of the channel data is recorded discretely and processed in digital.

DVD (page 13)

A disc that contains up to 8 hours of moving pictures even though its diameter is the same as a CD.

The data capacity of a single-layer and single- sided DVD is 4.7 GB which is 7 times that of a CD. The data capacity of a dual-layer and single-sided DVD is 8.5 GB, a single-layer and double-sided DVD is 9.4 GB, and a dual-layer and double-sided DVD is 17 GB.

The picture data uses the MPEG 2 format, one of the worldwide standards of digital compression technology. The picture data is compressed to about 1/40 of its original size. The DVD also uses a variable rate coding technology that changes the data to be allocated according to the status of the picture. Audio data is recorded in Dolby Digital as well

as in PCM, allowing you to enjoy a more real audio presence.

Furthermore, various advanced functions such as the multi-angle, multilingual, and Parental Control functions are provided with the DVD.

Multi-angle function (page 15)

Various angles for the scene (viewpoints of the video camera) are recorded on some DVDs.

Multilingual function (page 15, 18)

Several languages for the audio track or subtitles in a picture are recorded on some DVDs.

Parental Control (page 19)

A function of the DVD used to restrict playback of the disc according to the age of the user and the restriction level in each country. The restriction varies from disc to disc; when it is activated, playback can be completely prohibited, violent scenes are skipped or replaced with other scenes, and so on.
