For DVD discs, the digital output PCM/∂ jack (coaxial or
optical) must be connected to the amplifier or processor's
digital input AC-3/PCM jack.
For LD discs, the AC-3 RF OUT (LD) jack must be connected
to the amplifier's AC-3 RF IN jack.
PCM
PCM stands for Pulse Code Modulation and is digital audio.
The digital audio of CD, LD or DVD discs is PCM.
Title number
Title numbers refer to titles of movies etc. As DVD discs have
a large capacity, many movies can be recorded on one disc.
For example, when 3 different movies are recorded on a disc,
they are divided into TITLE 1, TITLE 2 and TITLE 3. Playback
can be operated by selecting the title number.
Chapter number
Chapter numbers are the numbers assigned to sections on a
title of the disc, similar to chapters in a book. If the disc includes
these numbers, you can locate the section you want very
quickly using chapter search and other functions.
¶ Some discs may not include chapter numbers.
Frame number
This is the number recorded in each frame on a standard CAV
disc. You can use frame numbers for such operations as Frame
Search for a desired frame.
Time number
The time number is the playback lapse time of a title in the
disc from its beginning. The scene you want to locate can be
searched for with the time number using the time number
function etc.
Surround
This is a surround effect for karaoke fun with a more expansive
sound and added atmosphere.
Echo
