easily locate the point you want on a VIDEO
CD or a CD. Depending on the disc, no indexes
may be recorded.

camera, for a scene are recorded on some
DVDs.

picture are recorded on some DVDs.
Parental Control
A function of the DVD 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.
Progressive format
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
Interlace format can show 30 frames (60 fields)
in one second, the Progressive format can show
60 frames in one second. The overall picture
quality increases and still images, text, and
horizontal lines appear sharper. This player is
compatible with the 480 progressive format.
Region Code
This system is used to protect copyrights. A
region number is allocated on each DVD
system or DVD disc according to the sales
region. Each region code is shown on the
system as well as on the disc packaging. The
system can play the discs that match its region
code. The system can also play discs with the
“
ALL
” mark. Even when the region code is not
shown on the DVD, the region limit may still
be activated.
Scene
On a VIDEO CD with PBC functions (page
25), the menu screens, moving pictures, and
still pictures are divided into sections called
“scenes”.
Super Audio CD (SACD)

audio CD standards but includes a greater
amount of information which provides higher
quality sound. There are three types of discs:
single layer, double layer and hybrid discs. The
