Digital audio compression technolog2r
developed by Dolby Laboratories. This
technology couforms to multi-channel
surround sound. The rear channel is stereo
and there is a discrete subwoofcr channel in
this R)rmat. Dolby Digital provides the same
discrete channels of high quality digital audio
found in "Dolby Digital" theater surround
sound systems. Good channel separation is
realized because all of the channel data are
recorded discretely and little deterioration is
realized because all channel data processing
is digital.
DolbySurround (Pro Logic) (page 23, 81)
Audio signal processing technology that
Dolby Laboratories developed for surroul)d
sound. Whet) the input signal contains a
surround component, the Pro Logic process
outputs the front, center and rear signals. The

this format. DTS provides discrete channels

all of the channel data is recorded discretely
and little deterioration is realized because all
cha*mel data processing is digital.
DVD VIDEO (page6)
A disc that contains up to 8 horn's 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 (Giga Byte), which is 7
times that of a CD. The data capacit2rof a
double-layer and single-sided DVD is 8.5
GB, a singleqayer and double-sided DVD is
9.4 GB, and double-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 (average) 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 information is recorded in a
luulti-cham)el format, such as Dolby Digital,
allowing you to enjoy a more real audio
presence.
Furthermore, wu:ious advanced functions
such as the multi-angle, multilingual, and
Parental Control limctions are provided with
the DVD.
DVD-RW (page 6, 36)
A DVD-RW is a recordable and rewritable
disc that is the same size as the DVD VIDEO.
The DVD-RW has two different modes: VR
mode and Video mode.
DVD-RWs created in Vide() mode have the
same R)rmat as a DVD VIDEO, while discs
created in VR (Vide() Recording) mode allow
the contents to be programmed or edited.
DVD+RW (page 6)
A DVD+RW (plus RW) is a recordable mid
rewritable disc. DVD+RWs use a recording
lbrmat that is comparable to the DVD VIDEO
format.
