nique developed by the Dolby Laboratories Licensing Cor-
poration.
Supporting 5.1-channel surround sound, as well as stereo
(2-channel) sound, this technique enables a large quantity
of sound data to be efficiently recorded on a disc.
ÁLnear PCM is a signal recording format used in CDs. While
audio CDs are recorded in 44.1 kHz/16 bit, DVDs are re-
corded in 48 kHz/16 bit up to 96 kHz/24 bit.
ÁIf you have a Dolby Pro Logic Surround decoder, you will
obtain the full benefit of Pro Logic from the same DVD mov-
ies that provide full 5.1-channel Dolby Digital soundtracks,
as well as from titles with the Dolby Surround mark.

 Connection

Connecting to an AV amplifier which does not contain Dolby Digital (AC-3)/MPEG

audio decoder
This DVD/VIDEO CD/CD player contains a Dolby Digital (AC-3)/MPEG audio decoder. This enables the playback of DVDs recorded
in Dolby Digital Surround, MPEG audio or Linear PCM without the need for an optional decoder with Dolby Digital, MPEG audio or
Linear PCM processing. When the DVD player is connected to an AV amplifier with 5.1ch input connectors, you can enjoy theater-
quality audio right in your home when playing discs recorded in Dolby Digital Surround, MPEG audio or Linear PCM.

tortion.
ÁDo not write on the label side with a ball-point pen or other
writing utensils.
ÁDo not use record cleaning sprays, benzine, thinner, static
electricity prevention liquids or any other solvent.
ÁBe careful not to drop or bend the disc.
ÁDo not install more than 1 disc on the disc tray.
ÁDo not try to close the disc tray when the disc is not in-
stalled properly. (*)
ÁBe sure to store the disc in its exclusive case when not in
use.
If the surface is soiled +
Wipe gently with a soft, damp (water only) cloth.
When wiping discs, always move the cloth from the center
hole toward the outer edge.

 Definition of terms
Angle
Recorded onto some DVD discs are scenes which have been
simultaneously shot from a number of different angles (the
same scene is shot from the front, from the left side, from the
right side, etc.). With such discs, the ANGLE button can be
used to view the scene from different angles.

Chapter number
These numbers are recorded on DVD discs. A title is subdi-
vided into many sections, each of which is numbered, and
specific parts of video presentations can be searched quickly
using these numbers.

DVD
This refers to a high-density optical disc on which high-quality
pictures and sound have been recorded by means of digital
signals. Incorporating a new video compression technology
(MPEG II) and high-density recording technology, DVD en-
ables esthetically pleasing full-motion video to be recorded
over long periods of time (for instance, a whole movie can be
recorded).
DVD has a structure consisting of two 0.6 mm thin discs
which are adhered to each other. Since the thinner the disc,
the higher the density at which the information can be record-
ed, a DVD disc has a greater capacity than a single 1.2 mm
thick disc. Since the two thin discs are adhered to each other,
there is the potential to achieve double-sided play sometime
in the future for even longer duration play.

Playback control
This is recorded on a Video CD (version 2.0). The scenes or
information to be viewed (or listened to) can be selected in-
teractively with the TV monitor by looking at the menu shown
on the TV monitor.

Subtitles
These are the printed lines appearing at the bottom of the
screen which translate or transcribe the dialogue. They are
recorded on DVD discs.

Time number
This indicates the play time which has elapsed from the start
of a disc or a title. It can be used to find a specific scene
quickly. (It may not work with some discs.)

Title number
These numbers are recorded on DVD discs. When a disc
contains two or more movies, these movies are numbered as
title 1, title 2, etc.

Track number
These numbers are assigned to the tracks which are record-
ed on Video CDs and CDs. They enable specific tracks to be
located quickly.

Video CD
This contains recordings of pictures and sound whose quality
is on a par with that of videotape. This player also supports
Video CDs with playback control (version 2.0).
