Parental Control
A function of the DVD VIDEO to limit playback
of the disc by the age of the users according to
the limitation level in each country. The
limitation varies from disc to disc; when it is
activated, playback is completely prohibited,
violent scenes are skipped or replaced with other
scenes and so on.
Playback Control (PBC)
Signals encoded on VIDEO CDs (Version 2.0)
to control playback. By using menu screens
recorded on VIDEO CDs with PBC functions,
you can enjoy playing simple interactive
programs, programs with search functions, and
so on.
This system conforms to Version 1.1 and
Version 2.0 of VIDEO CD standards. You can
enjoy two kinds of playback depending on the
disc type.
VIDEO CDs without PBC functions
(Version. 1.1 discs)
Enjoy video playback (moving pictures) as well
as music.
VIDEO CDs with PBC functions
(Version. 2.0 discs)
Play interactive software using menu screens
displayed on the TV screen (PBC Playback), in
addition to the video playback function of
Version 1.1 discs. Moreover, you can play high-
resolution still pictures, if they are included on
the disc.
Progressive format
(sequential scanning)
Compared to the 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 Interface format can show
25 or 30 frames (50 or 60 fields) in one second,
the Progressive format can show 50 or 60 frames
in one second. The overall picture quality
increases and still images, text, and horizontal
lines appear sharper. This unit is compatible
with 525 or 625 progressive format.
Region Code
This system is used to protect copyrights.
A region code is allocated on each DVD player
or DVD VIDEOs according to the sales region.
Each region code is shown on the unit as well as
on the disc packaging. The system can play back
the discs that match its region code. The system
can also play back discs with the “ ” mark.
Even when the region code is not shown on the
DVD VIDEO, the region limit may still be
activated.
Scene
On a VIDEO CD with PBC functions, the menu
screens, moving pictures and still pictures are
divided into sections called “scenes”. Each
scene is assigned a scene number enabling you
to locate the scene you want.
Title
The longest section 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.
