surround speakers and a center speaker. The
surround speakers output monaural sound.
DTS
Digital audio compression technology
developed by DTS, Inc. This technology
conforms to 5.1-channel surround. This format
is comprised of a stereo rear channel and a
discrete subwoofer channel. DTS provides the
same 5.1 discrete channels of high quality digital
audio. The good channel separation is realized
due to the all channel data being recorded
discretely and processed digitally.
HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia
Interface)
HDMI is an interface that supports both video
and audio on a single digital connection,
allowing you to enjoy high quality digital
picture and sound. The HDMI specification
supports HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital
Content Protection), a copy protection
technology that incorporates coding technology
for digital video signals.
Parental Control
A function of the DVD to limit playback of the
disc by the age of users according to the
limitation level in each country. 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.
Super Audio CD
Super Audio CD is a new high-quality audio
disc standard where music is recorded in the
DSD (Direct Stream Digital) format
(conventional CD is recorded in the PCM
format). The DSD format, using a sampling
frequency 64 times higher than that of a
conventional CD, and with 1-bit quantization,
achieves both a wide frequency range and a wide
dynamic range across the audible frequency
range, and so provides music reproduction
extremely faithful to the original sound.

Super Audio CD types
There are two types of discs, depending on the
Super Audio CD layer and CD layer
combination.
• Super Audio CD layer: A high-density
signal layer for Super Audio CD
• CD layer

conventional CD player
A Super Audio CD layer consists of the 2
channel area or the multi-channel area.
• 2 channel area: An area in which 2 channel
stereo tracks are recorded
• Multi-channel area: An area in which multi-
channel (up to 5.1 channels) tracks are
recorded

You can play the CD layer on a conventional CD
player.

Since both layers are on one side, it is not necessary
to turn the disc over.
