Movie mode
The Movie mode is for use with stereo
television shows and all the programs
encoded in Dolby Surround. The result is
enhanced sound field directionality that
approaches the quality of discrete 5.1-
channel sound.
Music mode
The Music mode is for use with any stereo
music recordings, and provides a wide
and deep sound space.
Dolby Surround Pro Logic
As one method of Dolby Surround
decoding, Dolby Surround Pro Logic
produces four channels from two-channel
sound. Compared with the former Dolby
Surround system, Dolby Surround Pro
Logic reproduces left-to-right panning
more naturally and localizes sounds more
precisely. To take full advantages of
Dolby Surround Pro Logic, you should
have one pair of surround speakers and a
center speaker. The surround speakers
output monaural sound.
DTS
Digital audio compression technology
developed by DTS, Inc. This technology
conforms to 5.1-channel surround. The
surround channel is stereo and there is
discrete subwoofer channel in this format.
DTS provides the same 5.1 discrete
channels of high quality digital audio. The
good channel separation is realized
because the all channel data is recorded
discrete and processed in digital.
DVD VIDEO
A disc that contains up to 8 hours of
moving pictures even though its diameter
is the same as a AUDIO CD.
The data capacity of a single-layer and
single-sided DVD VIDEO, at 4.7 GB
(Giga Byte), is 7 times that of an AUDIO
CD. Furthermore, the data capacity of a
dual-layer and single-sided DVD VIDEO
is 8.5 GB, a single-layer and double-sided
DVD VIDEO 9.4 GB, and a dual-layer
and double-sided DVD VIDEO 17 GB.
The picture data uses the MPEG 2 format,
one of the worldwide standards for digital
compression technology. The picture data
is compressed to about 1/40 of its original
size. The DVD VIDEO also uses variable
rate coding technology that changes the
data to be allocated according to the status
of the picture.
The audio data is recorded in Dolby
Digital as well as in PCM, allowing you to
enjoy more realistic audio presence.
Furthermore, various advanced functions
such as the multi-angle, multilingual, and
Parental Control functions are provided
with the DVD VIDEO.
DVD-RW
A DVD-RW is a recordable and
rewritable disc that is the same size as a
DVD VIDEO. The DVD-RW has two
different modes: VR mode and Video
mode. DVD-RWs created in Video mode
have the same format as a DVD VIDEO,
while discs created in VR (Video
Recording) mode allow the contents to be
programmed or edited.
DVD+RW
A DVD+RW (plus RW) is a recordable
and rewritable disc. DVD+RWs use a
recording format that is comparable to the
DVD VIDEO format.
