Interlace format (page 78)
Interlace format shows every other line of an
image as a single "field" and is the standard
method for displaying images on television.
The even number field shows the even
numbered lines of an image, and the odd
numbered field shows the odd numbered lines
of an image.
Progressive conversion method (page 62)
• Video based software conversion
Video shows an image by alternately
displaying every other line of an image (field)
at 30 frames (60 fields) per second (Interlace
format).
The Interlace format displays 30 frames (60
fields) per second by displaying every other
line of the image, causing scanning lines to
appear across the image. Furthermore, since
only half of the image is shown at once, the
amount of information contained in an image
is limited.
The Progressive format displays 60 entire
frames per seconds. The player accomplishes
this by converting each field into a frame by
using either a field-based conversion method
or a frame-based conversion method. The
appropriate method is automatically selected
by the player according to the movement of
the images on the screen. If the movement on
the screen is slow, the frame-based
conversion method borrows adjacent field
information to fill in the missing information.
If the movement on the screen is rapid, the
field-based conversion method creates the
missing information by predicting the
movement of the images on the screen from
field to field. The end result is an image that
is higher in quality when compared to the
Interlace format.

Interlace pictures
Converted progressive pictures
• Film based software conversion
Film shows an image by displaying an entire
image at 24 frames per second. When you
watch a film on television, the television
displays every other line of the frame as a
field, thus reducing information level and the
clarity of the film image.
Interlace pictures
This player solves this problem by increasing
the speed at which the frames are displayed,
consecutively showing 3 identical frames
followed by 2 identical frames in the time that
it normally takes to show 2 consecutive
frames. The end result is that the 24 frames
per second are increased to 60 frames per
second, which is the speed at which
Progressive video signals are shown.
Converted progressive pictures
This not only allows film to be shown in a
frame based format, it also increases the
clarity and sharpness which is unique to
Progressive format images.

Progressive format (page 78)
Compared to the Interlace format that
alternately shows every other line of an image
(field) to create one frame, the Progressive
format shows the entire image at once as a
single frame. This means that while the
Interlace format can show 30 frames (60
fields) in one second, the Progressive format
can show 60 frames in one second. The
overall picture quality increases and still
images, text, and horizontal lines appear
sharper.
Scene (page 10)
On a VIDEO CD with PBC (playback
control) functions, the menu screens, moving
pictures and still pictures are divided into
sections called "scenes."
Super Audio CD (page 6)
A Super Audio CD disc can reproduce sounds
that are extremely faithful to the original
sound by use of DSD (Direct Stream Digital)
technology. This technology utilizes a
sampling frequency of 2.8224 MHz, which is
64 times that of a conventional CD, and 1-bit
quantization that enables the disc to hold 4
times the amount of information that a
standard PCM format CD can hold. Super
Audio CDs are divided into the following
types.
• Super Audio CD (single layer disc)
This disc consists of a single HD layer*.
*High density signal layer for the Super Audio CD
HD (high density)
layer
• Super Audio CD (dual layer disc)
This disc consists of dual HD layers and is
capable of extended play over long periods.
Also, as the dual layer disc consists of dual
HD layers on one side only, you do not have
to turn the disc over during playback.
