HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia
Interface)
HDMI is an interface that supports both video
and audio on a single digital connection. The
HDMI connection carries standard to high
definition video signals and multi-channel
audio signals to AV components such as
HDMI equipped TVs, in digital form without
degradation.
Since the video signals are compatible with
the current DVI (Digital Visual Interface)
format, HDMI jacks can be connected to DVI
jacks by way of an HDMI-DVI converter
cord. The HDMI specification supports
HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Contents
Protection), a copy protection technology that
incorporates coding technology for digital
video signals.
Index (Super Audio CD/CD)/ Video Index
(VIDEO CD) (page 9, 13, 53)
A number that divides a track into sections to
easily locate the point you want on a Super
Audio CD, CD or VIDEO CD. Depending on
the disc, no index may be recorded.
Normal (Interlace) format (page 79)
Normal (Interlace) format shows every other
line of an image as a single “field” and is the
standard method for displaying images on
television. The even number field shows the
even numbered lines of an image, and the odd
numbered field shows the odd numbered lines
of an image.
Compared to the Normal (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 Normal (Interlace) format can show 25 or
30 frames (50-60 fields) in one second, the
Progressive format can show 50-60 frames in
one second. The overall picture quality
increases and still images, text, and horizontal
lines appear sharper. This player is
compatible with the 525 or 625 progressive
format.
Scene (page 9)
On a VIDEO CD with PBC (playback
control) functions, the menu screens, moving
pictures and still pictures are divided into
sections called “scenes.”
Super Audio CD (page 6)
Super Audio CD is a new high-quality audio
disc standard where music is recorded in the
DSD (Direct Stream Digital) format
(conventional CDs are 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.
Types of Super Audio CDs
There are two types of discs, depending on
the Super Audio CD layer and CD layer
combination.

signal layer for Super Audio CD
