MASTER-SLAVE CONTROL
MASTER-SLAVE control refers to two identical units
connected together for joint control. The first player
(Master) receives remote control signals for both units
and controls the disc selection, audio and video output,
and information displays of the second player (Slave).
MPEG
Short for Moving Picture Experts Group. This is an
international standard for compression of moving
images. On some DVDs, digital audio has been
compressed and recorded in this format.
Multi-angle
In a TV or movie studio, a single image is usually filmed
by more than one camera at the same time, and one of
those images is selected by the program director and
transmitted to your TV. Some DVD discs are recorded
with the angles of more than one camera used for
filming, and these can be selected using this player.
These types of discs are called multi-angle discs.
Multi-Language Subtitle
Subtitles are language titles superimposed on movies, or
other media. Up to 32 different subtitle languages can
be recorded on a DVD disc. The subtitle function can be
used to select the language of your choice.
Multiple Language
The Multiple Language feature refers to the actual audio
language that you hear while enjoying DVD playback. Up
to 8 different language tracks can be recorded on a DVD.
The Multiple Language function can be used to select
the audio language of your choice.
Parental lock level
This function was suggested by parents concerned
about what type of media their children were able to
watch. Parental lock restrictions are restrictions
incorporated into titles which include scenes that
parents may not wish their children to view.
PBC (Playback Control)
This refers to signals recorded on a Video CD (Version
2.0) enabling playback control. You can use menus
recorded on discs with PBC for easy, interactive search
for desired scenes, and playback. You can also enjoy
viewing high-resolution/standard resolution still images.
PCM
PCM stands for Pulse Code Modulation and is digital
audio. The digital audio of CDs is PCM. This player also
has a function that converts Dolby Digital and MPEG
digital bitstreams into PCM to enable you to listen to
quality digital sound even without a special decoder.
Regional restriction codes (region number)
Regional restriction codes are built in to DVD players and
DVD discs for each sales region. If the regional code of
the DVD player does not match one of the regional
codes of the DVD disc, playback is not possible.
The region number can be found on the rear panel of the
DVD player. The illustration below shows the regions
and corresponding region numbers.
Sampling Frequency
When a sound wave is converted to a digital signal, the
sound is sampled and converted to data at a specific
frequency rate. For example, a signal with a 96 kHz
sampling rate indicates that in one second, the analog
signal was sampled 96000 times to produce the digital
signal.
S-video
Connecting the S-video output on the player to a TV or
monitor with S-video input via an S-video cable produces
clearer picture reproduction by sending separate signals
for the luminance and the color. These signals are then
combined by the television to produce a better quality
picture.
System control
When you connect this player via a cord with a mini plug
to another Pioneer component such as a receiver or an
amplifier bearing the Î mark, you can control the player
as though it were a component in a system. To control
the player, point the player's remote control at the
component that the player is connected to, and not the
player itself.
TruSurround
TruSurround is a simulated surround system which
produces a surround sound effect from stereo speakers.
Virtual Dolby Digital
Virtual Dolby Digital uses Dolby Digital multichannel
audio sources to create a realistic surround sound effect
from stereo speakers.
