■DVD video disc information
●DVD video discs
Digital Versatile Disc that holds video. DVD video discs have adopted
“MPEG2”, one of the world standards of digital compression technologies. The
picture data is compressed by 1 /40 on average and stored. Variable rate
encoding technology in which the volume of data assigned to the picture is
changed depending on the picture format has also been adopted. Audio data is
stored using PCM and Dolby digital, which enables higher quality of sound. Fur-
thermore, multi-angle and multi-language features will also help you enjoy the
more advanced technology of DVD video.
●Viewer restrictions
This feature limits what can be viewed in conformity with the level of restrictions
of the country. The level of restrictions varies depending on the DVD video disc.
Some DVD video discs cannot be played at all, or violent scenes are skipped or
replaced with other scenes.
Level 1: DVD video discs for children can be played.
Level 2-7: DVD video discs for children and G-rated movies can be played.
Level 8: All types of DVD video discs can be played.
●Multi-angle option
You can enjoy the same scene from different angles.
●Multi-language option
You can select the subtitle and audio languages.
●Region codes
The region codes are found on DVD players and DVD discs. If a DVD video
disc does not have the same region code as the DVD player, you cannot play
the disc on that DVD player. ( →P. 303)

●Playback
• To play MP3 files with steady sound quality, we recommend a fixed bit rate of128 kbps and a sampling frequency of 44.1 kHz.
• CD-R or CD-RW playback may not be possible in some instances, depend- ing on the characteristics of the disc.
• There is a wide variety of freeware and other encoding software for MP3 and WMA files on the market, and depending on the status of the encoding and
the file format, poor sound quality or noise at the start of playback may result.
In some cases, playback may not be possible at all.
• When files other than MP3 or WMA files are recorded on a disc, it may take more time to recognize the disc and in some cases, playback may not be pos-
sible at all.
• Microsoft, Windows, and Windows Media are the registered trademarks of Microsoft Corporation in the U.S. and other countries.
■CD-R and CD-RW discs
●CD-R/CD-RW discs that have not been subject to the “finalizing process” (a
process that allows discs to be played on a conventional CD player) cannot be
played.
●It may not be possible to play CD-R/CD-RW discs recorded on a music CD
recorder or a personal computer because of disc characteristics, scratches or
dirt on the disc, or dirt, condensation, etc. on the lens of the unit.
