“scenes”. Each scene is assigned a scene number
enabling you to locate the scene you want.
Super Audio CD
Super Audio CD is a new high quality audio disc
standard that records using the DSD (Direct
Stream Digital) format instead of the PCM
format used for current CDs, etc. The DSD
format has a sampling frequency 64 times that of
current CDs, and uses 1-bit quantization to
ensure a sufficient dynamic range and more
faithfully reproduce the original sound over a
vastly wider playback range and audible range
than current CDs.
There are various types of Super Audio CD as
follows.
• Super Audio CD (single layer disc)
Discs with only a single HD (high density)
layer (high density signal layer for Super
Audio CD)
• Super Audio CD (dual layer disc)
Discs with two HD layers that allow long-
time playback. These discs have a two-layer
structure but only one side is read, so there is
no need to turn over the disc.
• Super Audio CD+CD (hybrid disc)
Two-layer discs with a HD layer and a CD
layer. These discs have a two-layer structure
but only one side is read, so there is no need
to turn over the disc. In addition, the CD layer
contents can be played even by a normal CD
player.
• Two-channel + multi-channel Super Audio
CD discs
Super Audio CD discs with both a two-
channel area and a multi-channel area
recorded in the HD layer.

The longest sections of a picture or a music
piece on a DVD; a movie, etc., for a picture
piece on video software; or an album, etc., for a
music piece on audio software. Each title is
assigned a title number enabling you to locate
the title you want.
Track
Sections of a picture or a music piece on a CD,
VIDEO CD, MP3 or JPEG. Each track is
assigned a track number enabling you to locate
the track you want.
VIDEO CD
A compact disc that contains moving pictures.
The picture data uses the MPEG 1 format, one of
the worldwide standards for digital compression
technology. The picture data is compressed to
about 1/140 of its original size. Consequently, a
12 cm VIDEO CD can contain up to 74 minutes
of moving pictures.
VIDEO CDs also contain compact audio data.
Sounds outside the range of human hearing are
compressed while the sounds we can hear are
not compressed. VIDEO CDs can hold 6 times
the audio information of conventional audio
CDs.
There are 2 versions of VIDEO CDs.
• Version 1.1: You can play only moving
pictures and sounds.
• Version 2.0: You can play high-resolution
still pictures and enjoy PBC functions.
This system conforms to both versions.
