Troubleshooting

DVD+RW (page 6)

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.

Interlace format (page 53)

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 format (page 47 and 53)

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. This player is compatible with the 480

progressive format.

Title (page 31)

The longest section of a picture or music feature on a DVD, movie, etc., in video software, or

the entire album in audio software.

Track (page 31)

Glossary

Chapter (page 31)

Sections of a picture or a music feature that are smaller than titles. A title is composed of

several chapters. Depending on the disc, no chapters may be recorded.

Dolby Digital (page 44 and 49)

Digital audio compression technology developed by Dolby Laboratories. This technology

conforms to 5.1-channel surround sound. The rear channel is stereo and there is a discrete

subwoofer channel in this format. Dolby Digital provides the same 5.1 discrete channels of

high quality digital audio found in Dolby Digital cinema audio systems. Good channel

separation is realized because all of the channel data are recorded discretely and little

deterioration is realized because all channel data processing is digital.

Dolby Surround (Pro Logic) (page 44)

Audio signal processing technology that Dolby Laboratories developed for surround sound.

When the input signal contains a surround component, the Pro Logic process outputs the front,

center and rear signals. The rear channel is monaural.

DTS (page 49)

Digital audio compression technology that Digital Theater Systems, Inc. developed. This

technology conforms to 5.1-channel surround sound. The rear channel is stereo and there is a

discrete subwoofer channel in this format. DTS provides the same 5.1 discrete channels of high

quality digital audio.

Good channel separation is realized because all of the channel data is recorded discretely and

little deterioration is realized because all channel data processing is digital.

DVD (page 6)

A disc that contains up to 8 hours of moving pictures even though its diameter is the same as a

CD.

The data capacity of a single-layer and single-sided DVD is 4.7 GB (Giga Byte), which is 7

times that of a CD. The data capacity of a double-layer and single-sided DVD is 8.5 GB, a

single-layer and double-sided DVD is 9.4 GB, and double-layer and double-sided DVD is

17GB.

The picture data uses the MPEG 2 format, one of the worldwide standards of digital

compression technology. The picture data is compressed to about 1/40 (average) of its original

size. The DVD also uses a variable rate coding technology that changes the data to be allocated

according to the status of the picture. Audio information is recorded in a multi-channel format,

such as Dolby Digital, allowing you to enjoy a more real audio presence.

Furthermore, various advanced functions such as the multi-angle, multilingual, and Parental

Control functions are provided with the DVD.

DVD-RW (page 6)

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.
