Disc Structure
DVD
A DVD disc consists of Titles, and each title may be divided
into some Chapters.
For example, if a DVD disc contains some movies, each
movie may have its own title number, and it may be further
divided into some chapters.
How sounds are recorded on DVD
The digital audio format used for DVD differs among discs
and it is written on the package or disc itself.
This unit can only reproduce the sound recorded in the
following audio formats:
• Linear PCM—This is the same format used for Audio
CDs and Video CDs.
• Dolby Digital—This is an encoding method for audio
signals. By compressing audio signals, it can record up to
5.1 multichannel signals—the right front channel, left front
channel, center channel, and right rear channel, left rear
channel and LFE signals.
– While playing back a disc encoded with Dolby Digital on
this unit, the DOLBY DIGITAL lamp on the front panel
lights up. If it has multichannel signals—5.1ch, Surround
mode is automatically activated.
• MPEG Multichannel—This is a compression format for
PAL/SECAM DVD software. MPEG Multichannel is 5.1ch
multi surround using MPEG Audio coding format.
SVCD, VCD and CD
A SVCD, VCD or CD disc consists of Tracks.
In general, each song has its own track number. (On some
discs, each track may also be divided by Indexes.)
When playing back a SVCD or VCD with the Playback
Control (PBC*) function, you can select what to view using
the menu shown on the TV screen. While operating a SVCD
or VCD using the menu, some of the functions such as Time
Search may not work.
* A SVCD and VCD recorded with the PBC function has its
own menus, such as a list of the songs of the disc.
