Angle

Recorded onto some DVD discs are scenes,
which have been simultaneously shot from a
number of different angles (the same scene is
shot from the front, from the left side, from the
right side, etc.). With such discs, the ANGLE
button can be used to view the scene from
different angles.

Chapter Number

These numbers are recorded on DVD discs.
A title is subdivided into many sections, each
of which are numbered, and specifi c parts of
video presentations can be searched quickly
using these numbers.

DVD

This refers to a high-density optical disc on
which high-quality pictures and sound have
been recorded by means of digital signals.
Incorporating a new video compression
technology (MPEG II) and high-density recording
technology. DVD enables aesthetically pleasing
full-motion video to be recorded over long
periods of time (for instance, a whole movie
can be recorded).
DVD has a structure consisting of two 0.6-mm
thin discs, which are adhered to each other.
Since the thinner the disc, the higher the density
at which the information can be recorded, a
DVD disc has a greater capacity than a single
1.2 mm thick disc.

Subtitles

These are printed lines appearing at the bottom
of the screen, which translate or transcribe
the dialogue. They are recorded on the DVD
discs.

Time Number

This indicates the playtime, which has elapsed
from the start of a disc or a title. It can be used to
fi nd a specifi c scene quickly. (Not all discs permit
the time search feature to be used. Availability
is determined by the disc's manufacturer.)

Title Number

These numbers are recorded on DVD discs.
When a disc contains two or more movies, these
movies are numbered as title 1, title 2, etc.

Track Number

These numbers are assigned to the tracks,
which are recorded on AudioCDs. They enable
specifi c tracks to be located quickly.

Dolby Digital

Many movie theatres are equipped with 5.1
channel surround systems. This same type of
technology is available to you in your home.
To enjoy full 5.1-channel surround, your DVD
player must be connected to an external Dolby
Digital decoder via the digital outputs (either
coaxial or optical).

Dolby Pro Logic

This is Dolby Laboratories' technology to
decode Dolby Surround encoded programs
actively. Dolby Surround programs have four
channels of audio (Left, Center, Right and
Surround) encoded into a standard 2-channel
stereo signal. The rear channel is monaural.

LPCM

LPCM stands for Pulse Code Modulation and
is digital audio.

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.
