12 Additional information
JPEG
A file format used for still images, such as
photographs and illustrations. JPEG files are
identified by the file extension ".jpg" or ".JPG".
Most digital cameras use this format.

MP3 (MPEG1 audio layer 3) is a compressed
audio file format. Files are recognized by their
file extension ".mp3" or ".MP3".
MPEG audio
An audio format used on Video CD/Super
VCDs and some DVD discs. This system can
convert MPEG audio to PCM format for wider
compatibility with digital recorders and AV
amplifiers. See also PCM.
MPEG video
The video format used for Video CD/Super
VCDs and DVDs. Video CD/Super VCD uses
the older MPEG-1 standard, while DVD uses
the newer and much better quality MPEG-2
standard.
PCM (Pulse Code Modulation)
The most common system of encoding digital
audio, found on CDs and DAT. Excellent
quality, but requires a lot of data compared to
formats such as Dolby Digital and MPEG
audio. See also Digital audio.
PBC (PlayBack Control) (Video CD/Super
VCD only)
A system of navigating a Video CD/Super VCD
through on-screen menus recorded onto the

normally not watch from beginning to end all
at once—karaoke discs, for example.

Regions (DVD-Video only)
These associate discs and players with
particular areas of the world. This system will
only play discs that have compatible region
codes. You can find the region code of your
system by looking on the rear panel. Some
discs are compatible with more than one
region (or all regions).
Sampling frequency
The rate at which sound is measured to be
turned into digital audio data. The higher the
rate, the better the sound quality, but the
more digital information is generated.
Standard CD audio has a sampling frequency
of 44.1kHz, which means 44,100 samples
(measurements) per second. See also Digital
audio.
WMA
WMA is short for Windows Media Audio and
refers to an audio compression technology
developed by Microsoft Corporation. WMA
data can be encoded by using Windows
Media Player version 8 or Windows Media
Player for Windows XP. Files are recognized
by their file extension ".wma" or ".WMA".
