MDLP
Technology for doubling (LP2) or quadrupling
(LP4) the recording time for a single MD. MDs
recording using this technology cannot be
played back on MD decks without the MDLP
logo (MD decks that do not support MDLP
mode).
Menu Playback
Playback using the menu screens recorded on
VIDEO CDs with PBC functions. You can enjoy
simple interactive software using the menu
playback function.
Multi-angle function
Various angles, or viewpoints of the video
camera, for a scene are recorded on some DVDs.
Multilingual function
Several languages for the sound or subtitles in a
picture are recorded on some DVDs.
Net MD
An MD expansion standard that allows high-
speed transfer of music data stored on a
computer to the MD deck.
Parental Control
A function of the DVD to limit playback of the
disc by the age of the users according to the
limitation level in each country/region. The
limitation varies from disc to disc; when it is
activated, playback is completely prohibited,
violent scenes are skipped or replaced with other
scenes and so on.
Playback Control (PBC)
Signals encoded on VIDEO CDs (Version 2.0)
to control playback. By using menu screens
recorded on VIDEO CDs with PBC functions,
you can enjoy playing simple interactive
programs, programs with search functions, and
so on.
This system conforms to Ver. 1.1 and Ver. 2.0 of
VIDEO CD standards. You can enjoy two kinds
of playback depending on the disc type.
VIDEO CDs without PBC functions
(Ver. 1.1 discs)
Enjoy video playback (moving pictures) as well
as music.
VIDEO CDs with PBC functions
(Ver. 2.0 discs)
Play interactive software using menu screens
displayed on the TV screen (PBC Playback), in
addition to the video playback functions of
Ver. 1.1 discs. Moreover, you can play high-
resolution still pictures, if they are included on
the disc.
Progressive format
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 525
progressive format.
Region Code
This system is used to protect copyrights. A
region number is allocated on each DVD system
or DVD disc according to the sales region. Each
region code is shown on the system as well as on
the disc packaging. The system can play the
discs that match its region code. The system can
also play discs with the “
” mark. Even when
the region code is not shown on the DVD, the
region limit may still be activated.
Scene
On a VIDEO CD with PBC functions (page 15),
the menu screens, moving pictures, and still
pictures are divided into sections called
“scenes”. Each scene is assigned a scene number
enabling you to locate the scene you want.
Super Audio CD
Super Audio CD is a new high quality audio disc
standard that records using the DSD (Direct
Stream Digital) format instead of the PCM
format used for current CDs, etc. The DSD
format has a sampling frequency 64 times that of
current CDs, and uses 1-bit quantization to
ensure a sufficient dynamic range and more
faithfully reproduce the original sound over a
vastly wider playback range and audible range
than current CDs.
There are various types of Super Audio CD as
follows.
