VCD (Video CD)

A VCD holds up to 74 minutes (650 MB disc) or 80 minutes (700 MB disc) of MPEG-1 full-motion video along with quality stereo sound.

MPEG

MPEG is an international standard for video and audio compression. MPEG-1 is used in encoding video for VCD and provides for multichannel surround sound coding such as PCM, Dolby Digital, DTS and MPEG audio.

MP3

MP3 is a popular compression format used for digital audio files that yields very high near-CD quality.

WMA

Windows media audio file. A type of coding / decoding developed by Microsoft Corp.

PBC: Playback Control (Video CD only)

Playback control is available for Video CD (VCD) version 2.0 disc formats. PBC allows you to interact with the system via menus, search functions, or other typical computer-like operations. Moreover, still pictures of high resolution can be played if they are included in the disc. Video CDs not equipped with PBC (Version 1.1) operate in the same way as audio CDs.

Title (DVD video discs only)

A title is generally a distinct section of a DVD disc. For example the main feature could be title 1, a documentary describing how the film was made could be title 2, and cast interviews could be title 3. Each title is assigned a reference number enabling you to locate it easily.

Chapter (DVD video discs only)

A chapter is a segment of a title such as a scene in a film or one interview in a series. Each chapter is assigned a chapter number, enabling you to locate the chapter you want. Depending on the disc, chapters may not be recorded.

Group (DVD audio discs only)

The main audio content or accompanying feature content or additional feature content, or music album. Each group is assigned a group reference number enabling you to locate it easily.

Scene (VCD)

On a video CD with PBC ( playback control) functions, moving pictures and still pictures are divided into sections called "scenes". Each scene is displayed in the menu screen and assigned a scene number, enabling you to locate the scene you want. A scene is composed of one or several tracks.

Track

A distinct element of audiovisual information, such as the picture or sound track for a specific language (DVD), or a musical piece on a video or audio CD.

DVD Audio Discs

DVD Audio is a new disc format building on the success of DVD to provide high quality, uncompressed, multi-channel audio for a new experience in audio quality. A DVD Audio disc can be identified by the DVD audio logo on the disc jacket or on the disc itself.

DVD Audio can provide higher quality stereo than Audio CDs with a sampling rate of up to 192kHz (compared to 44.1kHz for CDs). DVD Audio digital sound can be delivered with up to 24 bits of data (compared to 16 bits for a standard CD).

A typical DVD Audio disc contains up to seven times the data capacity of a CD. This additional space is used for music, either Advanced Resolution multi-channel sound quality that is closer to the artist's master recording or for longer recordings. Many DVD Audio discs contain on-screen text, such as artist biographies, playlists, or lyrics. Some DVD Audio discs contain photo galleries or video clips.

Note:

To enjoy maximum sound quality and surround effect of DVD Audio, you must use 5.1 channel analog audio output (5.1CH AUDIO OUT jacks on the DVD Player). If you use the DIGITAL OUT (OPTICAL or COAXIAL) for your audio connection, the sound will only be similar to CD-quality sound even though you're playing a DVD Audio disc.
