Because of this, operating procedures may differ for different discs and for some discs certain operations may not be possible. With Pioneer DVD players, a mark indicating the operation is prohibited (“prohibition mark”) is displayed on the screen when the user attempts to perform a prohibited operation. In addition, with discs on which interactive operations are possible on menus or during playback, the data on the disc is branched rather than continuous, so some operations (repeat, programming, etc.) may not be possible.

126 En ADDITIONAL INFORMA TION T erms 1 Aspect ratio The aspect ratio is the ratio of the width to the height of the TV screen. The aspect ratio of a standard TV is 4:3, while that of high-definition and wide screen TVs is 16:9. The latter lets you enjoy a picture with a wider perspective. Chapter numbers T itles on discs are divided into several sections called chapters - like the chapters in a book. When chapter numbers are recorded on the disc, the chapter search function can be used to find the desired section of the title immediately . Dolby Digital Dolby Digital offers multi-channel sound with a maximum of 5.1 independent audio channels. The system used on this player is the same as the Dolby Digital surround system used in movie theaters. The player’ s digital output jack must be connected to the digital input jack on a Dolby Digital compatible amplifier or decoder in order to enjoy Dolby Digital sound. DTS DTS stands for Digital Theater Systems. DTS is a surround system different from Dolby Digital. The player’ s digital output jack must be connected to the digital input jack on a DTS compatible amplifier or decoder in order to enjoy DTS sound. Dynamic range The dynamic range refers to the difference between the maximum level at which signals can be transmitted and converted without distortion and the minimum level limited by the equipment’ s performance. The dynamic range is expressed in units of decibels (dB). MPEG MPEG is short for Moving Picture Experts Group and is an international standard for compression of moving pictures. Some DVDs use MPEG compression to compress the digital audio signals. Multi-angle When you watch TV programs, you are watching the image filmed through a TV camera, so the picture is displayed on your TV from the viewpoint of the TV camera’ s position. In a TV studio, the image is filmed by many cameras at the same time and the program director selects one of those images for the program to be broadcast over the air to the TV in your home. If the pictures from all the cameras were broadcast simultaneously and you could choose the viewpoint (camera), you could see what you want. Some DVDs include the images filmed by all the different cameras, and these can be selected using this player .
127 En ADDITIONAL INFORMA TION English T erms Multiple Language The Multiple Language feature refers to the actual audio language that you hear while enjoying DVD playback. Up to 8 different language tracks can be recorded on a DVD. The Multiple Language function can be used to select the audio language of your choice. Multiple subtitle languages Subtitles are languages titles superimposed on movies, for example. DVDs can include a choice of subtitles in up to 132 languages. Optical digital output Normally audio signals are converted into electrical signals and transmitted from the player to the amplifier and other equipment over electric wires. The optical digital output allows the transmission of audio signals converted into digital signals over optical fiber cables. (The signals are input to the optical digital input on the receiving side.) Parental lock level Some DVDs include parental lock levels. These can be used to restrict viewing by children. PCM PCM stands for Pulse Code Modulation and is a digital audio format. The digital audio of CDs and DVDs is PCM. Playback Control (PBC) PBC refers to signals recorded on video CDs (version 2.0) for controlling playback. The menus recorded on video CDs with PBC can be used for easy interactive search and playback. PBC also allows you to view high-resolution/standard resolution still images. Region number DVD players and DVD discs include region numbers indicating the region in which they can be used. The player’ s region number or numbers must include the region number indicated on the disc, or the disc cannot be played on the player . This player’ s region number is “2” (indicated on the rear panel). T ime numbers The time number is the elapsed playing time from the beginning of the disc’ s title. With the time number search function, the time numbers can be used to search for the desired scene. T itle numbers The titles of DVDs are the same as the titles of movies. DVDs have a high capacity , so several movies can be recorded on a single DVD. If for example there are three movies recorded on the DVD, they are divided into T itle 1, T itle 2 and T itle 3. The desired movie can be played by selecting its title number . TOC In addition to audio signals, data called the TOC (T able Of Contents) is recorded at the beginning of the disc. As the name indicates, the TOC corresponds to the table of contents of a book. It includes such information as the number of tracks and the playing time.
