Apart fromstereo (2-channel) audio, these signals can alsobe multi-channel audio. A large amount of audioinformation can be recorded on one disc usingthis method.Dolby Pro LogicA surround system where a 4-channel audiotrack is recorded as 2 channels and then isrestored to 4 channels for play. The surroundchannel is monaural and can reproduce up to 7kHz.DTS (Digital Theater Systems)This surround system is used in many movietheaters around the world. There is goodseparation between the channels, so realisticsound effects are possible.Dynamic rangeDynamic range is the difference between thelowest level of sound that can be heard abovethe noise of the equipment and the highest levelof sound before distortion occurs.Film and videoDVD-Videos are recorded using either film orvideo. Usually, film is recorded at 24 frames persecond, the rate movies are filmed at, whilevideo is recorded at 30 frames per second.Frame still and field stillFrames are the still pictures that make movingpictures. About thirty are shown each second. Aframe still may appear blurred but overall qualityis high.Two fields appear alternately to make up oneframe. A field still is not blurred but picture qualityis lower.Interlace and progressive outputNTSC, the video signal standard, has 480interlaced (I) scan lines, whereas progressivescanning uses twice the number of scan lines.This is called 480P.I/P/BMPEG 2, the video compression standardadopted for use with DVD-Video, codes framesusing these 3 picture types.I: Intra coded pictureThis picture has the best quality and is thebest to use when adjusting the picture.P: Predictive coded pictureThis picture is calculated based on past I orP-pictures.B: Bidirectionally-predictive coded pictureThis picture is calculated by comparing pastand future I and P-pictures so it has thelowest volume of information.Linear PCM (pulse code modulation)These are uncompressed digital signals, similarto those found on CDs.Signal system:[For\U.S.A.\and\Canada][For\units\with\PX\printed\on\the\outer\packaging]NTSC[For\others] PAL 625/50, PAL525/60, NTSCOperating temperature range:i5 to i35 oC (i41 to i95 oF)Operating humidity range:5 to 90 % RH (no condensation)Discs played [8 cm (3 z) or 12 cm (5 z)]:(1) DVD-RAM (DVD-VR compatible)(2) DVD-Video(3) DVD-R (DVD-Video compatible)(4) CD-Audio (CD-DA)(5) Video CD(6) SVCD (Conforming to IEC62107)(7) CD-R/CD-RW(CD-DA, Video-CD, SVCD, MP3, WMA§,JPEG§ formatted discs)(8) MP3/WMA§≥Maximum number of tracks and groupsrecognizable: 999 tracks and 99 groups≥Compatible compression rate:MP3: between 32 kbps and 320 kbpsWMA§: between 48 kbps and 192 kbps(9) JPEG§≥Exif Ver 2.1 JPEG Baseline files≥Maximum number of pictures and groupsrecognizable:3000 pictures and 300 groups≥Picture resolution:between 320 x 240 and 6144 x 4096pixels (sub sampling is 4:2:2 or 4:2:0)Video output:Output level: 1 Vp-p (75 ≠)Output connector: Pin jackNumber of connectors: 1 systemS-video output:Y output level: 1 Vp-p (75 ≠)C output level:[For\U.S.A.\and\Canada][For\units\with\PX\printed\on\the\outer\packaging]NTSC; 0.286 Vp-p (75 ≠)[For\others\ NTSC; 0.286 Vp-p (75 ≠)PAL; 0.300 Vp-p (75 ≠)Output connector: S terminalNumber of connectors: 1 systemComponent video output:[For\U.S.A.\and\Canada][For\units\with\PX\printed\on\the\outer\packaging](480P/480I)[For\others\] (NTSC: 480P/480I, PAL: 576I)Y output level: 1 Vp-p (75 ≠)P B output level: 0.7 Vp-p (75 ≠)P R output level: 0.7 Vp-p (75 ≠)Output connector: Pin jack(Y: green, P B: blue, P R: red)Number of connectors: 1 systemAudio output:Output level: 2 Vrms (1 kHz, 0 dB)Output connector: Pin jackNumber of connectors: 2 channel:1 systemAudio performance:(1) Frequency response:≥DVD (linear audio):4 Hz–22 kHz (48 kHz sampling)4 Hz–44 kHz (96 kHz sampling)≥CD audio: 4 Hz–20 kHz(2) S/N ratio:≥CD audio: 115 dB(3) Dynamic range:≥DVD (linear audio):[For\U.S.A.\and\Canada\ 100 dB[For\others\ 102 dB≥CD audio: 98 dB(4) Total harmonic distortion:≥CD audio: 0.0025 %Digital audio output:Optical digital output: Optical terminalPickup:Wave length: 658 nm/790 nmLaser power:[For\U.S.A.\and\Canada] CLASS IIa/CLASS I[For\others] CLASS 2/CLASS 1Power supply:[For\U.S.A.\and\Canada\ AC 120 V, 60 Hz[For\Russia,\Australia\and\N.Z.]AC 220–240 V, 50 Hz[For\others] AC 110–240 V, 50/60 HzPower consumption: 14 WDimensions: 430 (W)k267 (D)k60 (H) mm[16 15 /16z (W)k10 8/ 16z (D)k2 7 /16z (H)]Mass: approx. 2.1 kg (4.7 lb.)Power consumption in standby mode:[For\U.S.A.\and\Canada\ 1 W[For\others] approx. 2 W[Note]Specifications are subject to change withoutnotice.
