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.
Multiple subtitle languages
Subtitles are languages titles superimposed on
movies, for example. DVDs can include a choice
of subtitles in up to 132 languages.
Optical digital output
Normally audio signals are converted into
electrical signals and transmitted from the
player to the amplifier and other equipment
over electric wires. The optical digital output
allows the transmission of audio signals
converted into digital signals over optical fiber
cables. (The signals are input to the optical
digital input on the receiving side.)
Parental lock level
Some DVDs include parental lock levels. These
can be used to restrict viewing by children.
PCM
PCM stands for Pulse Code Modulation
and is a digital audio format. The digital
audio of CDs and DVDs is PCM.
Playback Control (PBC)
PBC refers to signals recorded on video
CDs (version 2.0) for controlling playback.
The menus recorded on video CDs with
PBC can be used for easy interactive
search and playback. PBC also allows
you to view high-resolution/standard
resolution still images.
Region number
DVD players and DVD discs include
region numbers indicating the region in
which they can be used. The player's
region number or numbers must include
the region number indicated on the disc,
or the disc cannot be played on the
player. This player's region number is
"2" (indicated on the rear panel).
Time numbers
The time number is the elapsed playing
time from the beginning of the disc's
title. With the time number search
function, the time numbers can be used
to search for the desired scene.
Title numbers
The titles of DVDs are the same as the
titles of movies. DVDs have a high
capacity, so several movies can be
recorded on a single DVD. If for example
there are three movies recorded on the
DVD, they are divided into Title 1, Title 2
and Title 3. The desired movie can be
played by selecting its title number.
TOC
In addition to audio signals, data called
the TOC (Table Of Contents) is recorded
at the beginning of the disc. As the
name indicates, the TOC corresponds to
the table of contents of a book. It
includes such information as the
number of tracks and the playing time.
