MP3
The MP3 format is a Windows compression format for audio data. MP3
files have to be saved with the file extension *.mp3 so that they can be rec-
ognized.
In contrast to traditional audio CDs, MP3 CDs can be sub-divided into di-
rectories (folders, albums) and files (tracks, titles) - just like a data CD for
your computer.
This unit recognizes up to 999 titles. Folders and titles are read in alpha-
betical order.
MPEG4 and DiVX
MPEG4 is a compression technology for multimedia/video data ("MPEG" =
"Moving Picture Experts Group").
DiVX is a brand name for a video compression-decompression technology
based on the MPEG4 format. This unit supports DiVX 4 and DiVX 5.
Available surround sound formats
The unit can read two surround sound formats.
Dolby Digital 5.1
In Dolby Digital sound format the audio material is saved digitally. To do
this up to five separate full frequency audio channels (front left and right,
centre, rear left and right) and an effect or depth channel (5.1) are saved
separately. Sound media with the Dolby Digital format are shown by these
trademarks.
Because each channel is completely independent a realistic sound is cre-
ated with a "three-dimensional" listening sensation whereby the sound is
given distance, movement and a relative position in the room.
Your unit can read and decode this audio data and outputs to the 5.1 out-
puts. On the other hand the original signal can be sent to an external de-
coder/amplifier via the digital outputs.
dts (Digital Theatre Systems)
The dts abbreviation is used for a less frequently used sound format in
which up to 6 (5.1) separate channels are saved to a sound medium.
Sound media with the dts format are shown by these trademarks.
Your unit can read this audio data and sends it to the digital outputs ("DIG-
ITAL OUT") for decoding.
