Center (C), Left Surround (LS), Right Surround (RS)
and Subwoofer (SW: 0.1 channel) for recording and
playback. The number of channels that are recorded
depends on the software. (1 to 5.1 channels)
Dolby Pro Logic
This format records signals from four channels
[Front Left (L), Front Right (R), Center (C), and
Monaural Surround (S)] in two channels, decodes
those channels through a Dolby Pro Logic decoder,
and then outputs the resulting signals in four chan-
nels.

of wide-screen DVDs or VCD (Video CD)s is cut off
at the left and right sides.
Playback control (VCD (Video CD))

the scenes or information to be viewed (or listened
to) can be selected interactively with the screen by
looking at the menu shown on the screen.
In these instructions, playback using the menu
screen is referred to as the “menu play” for video
CDs. This player supports Video CDs with playback
control.

numbered; these numbers are called “Title number”
