DivX VOD Contents
DivX Video-on-Demand (VOD) content is encrypted for
copyright protection. In order to play DivX VOD content on this
unit, you first need to register the unit.
Follow the online instructions for purchasing DivX VOD
content to enter the unit’s registration code and register the
unit. For more information about DivX VOD, visit
www.divx.com/vod.
Display the unit’s registration code
≥
We recommend that you make a note of this code for future
reference.
≥
After playing DivX VOD content for the first time, another
registration code is then displayed in “DivX Registration”.
Do not use this registration code to purchase DivX VOD
content. If you use this code to purchase DivX VOD content,
and then play the content on this unit, you will no longer be
able to play any content that you purchased using the
previous code.
≥
If you purchase DivX VOD content using a registration code
different from this unit’s code, you will not be able to play this
content. (
“Authorization Error”
is displayed.)
Regarding DivX content that can only be played a
set number of times
Some DivX VOD content can only be played a set number of
times. When you play this content, the remaining number of
plays are displayed. You cannot play this content when the
number of remaining plays is zero. (
“Rental Expired”
is
displayed.)
When playing this content
≥
The number of remaining plays is reduced by one if:
– You press
[

SETUP].
– You press [

Decoder
A decoder restores the coded audio signals on DVDs to
normal. This is called decoding.
DivX
DivX is a popular media technology created by DivX, Inc. DivX
media files contain highly compressed video with high visual
quality that maintains a relatively small file size.
Dolby Digital
This is a method of coding digital signals developed by Dolby
Laboratories. Apart from stereo (2 channels) audio, these
signals can also be multi-channel audio. A large amount of
audio information can be recorded on one disc using this
method.
DTS (Digital Theater Systems)
This surround system is used in many movie theaters around
the world. There is good separation between the channels, so
realistic sound effects are possible.
Dynamic range
Dynamic range is the difference between the lowest level of
sound that can be heard above the noise of the equipment
and the highest level of sound before distortion occurs.
Film and video
DVD-Videos are recorded using either film or video. This unit
can determine which type has been used, then uses the most
suitable method of progressive output.
For NTSC:
Film is 24 or 30 frames per second, with motion picture film
generally being 24 frames per second.
Video is 60 fields per second (two fields making up one
frame).
For PAL:
Film is 25 frames per second.
Video is 50 fields per second (two fields making up one
frame).
Frame still and field still
Frames are the still pictures that go together to make a
moving picture. There are about 30 frames shown each
second.
One frame is made up of two fields. A regular television
shows these fields one after the other to create frames.
A still is shown when you pause a moving picture. A frame still
is made up of two alternating fields, so the picture may appear
blurred, but overall quality is high.
A field still is not blurred, but it has only half the information of
a frame still so picture quality is lower.
I/P/B
MPEG 2, the video compression standard adapted for use
with DVD-Video, codes frames using these 3 picture types.
I:
Intra coded picture
This picture has the best quality and is the best to use
when adjusting the picture.
P:
Predictive coded picture
This picture is calculated based on past I or P-pictures.
B:
Bidirectionally-predictive coded picture
This picture is calculated by comparing past and future
I and P-pictures so it has the lowest volume of information.
Linear PCM (Pulse Code Modulation)
These are uncompressed digital signals, similar to those
found on CDs.
MPEG4
A compression system for use on mobile devices or a
network, that allows highly efficient recording at a low bit rate.
Playback control (PBC)
If a Video CD has playback control, you can select scenes
and information with menus.
Progressive/Interlace
The PAL video signal standard has 576 interlaced (i) scan
lines, whereas progressive scanning, called 576p, uses twice
the number of scan lines. For the NTSC standard, these are
called 480i and 480p respectively.
Using progressive output, you can enjoy the high-resolution
video recorded on media such as DVD-Video.
Your television must be compatible to enjoy progressive
video.
Sampling frequency
Sampling is the process of converting the heights of sound
wave (analog signal) samples taken at set periods into digits
(digital encoding). Sampling frequency is the number of
samples taken per second, so larger numbers mean more
faithful reproduction of the original sound.
