Glossary
Chapter (page 14)
Sections of a movie or a music piece on a DVD
that are smaller than titles. A title is composed
of several chapters. Each chapter is assigned a
chapter number enabling you to locate the
chapter you want.
Dolby Digital (page 18)
Digital audio compression technology
developed by Dolby Laboratories. This
technology conforms to 5.1-channel surround
sound. The rear channel is stereo and there is a
discrete subwoofer channel in this format.
Dolby Digital provides the same 5.1 discrete
channels of high quality digital audio found in
Dolby Digital cinema audio systems. Good
channel separation is realised because all of the
channel data is recorded discretely and
processed in digital.
DTS (page 18)
Digital audio compression technology that
Digital Theater Systems, Inc. developed. This
technology conforms to 5.1-channel surround
sound. The rear channel is stereo and there is a
discrete subwoofer channel in this format. DTS
provides the same 5.1 discrete channels of high
quality digital audio. Good channel separation
is realised because all of the channel data is
recorded discretely and processed in digital.
DVD (page 3)
A disc that contains up to 8 hours of moving
pictures even though its diameter is the same
as a CD.
The data capacity of a single-layer and
single-sided DVD is 4.7 GB which is 7 times
that of a CD. The data capacity of a dual-layer
and single-sided DVD is 8.5 GB, a single-layer
and double-sided DVD is 9.4 GB, and a
dual-layer and double-sided DVD is 17 GB.
The picture data uses the MPEG 2 format, one
of the worldwide standards of digital
compression technology. The picture data is
compressed to about 1/40 of its original size.
The DVD also uses a variable rate coding
technology that changes the data to be
allocated according to the status of the picture.
Audio data is recorded in Dolby Digital as well
as in PCM, allowing you to enjoy a more real
audio presence.
Furthermore, various advanced functions such
as the multi-angle, multilingual, and Parental
Control functions are provided with the DVD.
