◆ MODE (PROGRESSIVE)

DVD software can be divided into two types: 
film based software and video based 
software. Video based software is derived 
from TV, such as dramas and sit-coms, and 
displays images at 30 frames/60 fields (25 
frames/50 fields) per second. Film based 
software is derived from film and displays 
images at 24 frames per second. Some DVD 
software contains both Video and Film.
In order for these images to appear natural on 
your screen when output in progressive mode 
(60 frames or 50 frames per second), the 
progressive video signal needs to be 
converted to match the type of DVD software 
that you are watching.

Using the LINE OUT (VIDEO) jack or the S 
VIDEO OUT jack will cause the picture to become 
unclear or go blank when you set NORMAL/
PROGRESSIVE switch to PROGRESSIVE. In this 
case, set NORMAL/PROGRESSIVE switch to 
NORMAL so that the PROGRESSIVE indicator 
turns off.

A disc that contains up to 8 hours of moving 
pictures even though its diameter is the same 
as a CD.
The data capacity of a single-layer and single-
sided DVD is 4.7 GB (Giga Byte), which is 7 
times that of a CD. The data capacity of a 
double-layer and single-sided DVD is 8.5 
GB, a single-layer and double-sided DVD is 
9.4 GB, and double-layer and double-sided 
DVD is 17GB.
The picture data uses the MPEG 2 format, one 
of the worldwide standards of digital 
compression technology. The picture data is 
compressed to about 1/40 (average) of its 
original size. The DVD also uses a variable 
rate coding technology that changes the data 
to be allocated according to the status of the 
picture. Audio information is recorded in a 
multi-channel format, such as Dolby Digital, 
allowing you to enjoy a more real audio 
presence.
Furthermore, various advanced functions 
such as the multi-angle, multilingual, and 
Parental Control functions are provided with 
the DVD.

A DVD-RW is a recordable and rewritable 
disc that is the same size as a DVD VIDEO. 
The DVD-RW has two different modes: VR 
mode and Video mode. DVD-RWs created in 
Video mode have the same format as a DVD 
VIDEO, while discs created in VR (Video 
Recording) mode allow the contents to be 
programmed or edited.

A DVD+RW (plus RW) is a recordable and 
rewritable disc. DVD+RWs use a recording 
format that is comparable to the DVD VIDEO 
format.

A JPEG image recorded on a DATA CD 
(“File” is an exclusive definition for this 
player.) A single file consist of a single 
image.

DVDs can be classified as Film based or 
Video based software. Film based DVDs 
contain the same images (24 frames per 
second) that are shown at movie theaters.
Video based DVDs, such as television dramas 
or sit-coms, displays images at 30 frames/60 
fields (25 frames/50 fields) per second.

A number that divides a track into sections to 
easily locate the point you want on a VIDEO 
CD. Depending on the disc, no index may be 
recorded.

International standard coding system used to 
compress audio digital signals authorized by 
ISO/IEC. MPEG 1 conforms to up to 2-
channel stereo. MPEG 2, used on DVDs, 
conforms to up to 7.1-channel surround.

Normal (Interlace) format shows every other 
line of an image as a single “field” and is the 
standard method for displaying images on 
television. The even number field shows the 
even numbered lines of an image, and the odd 
numbered field shows the odd numbered lines 
of an image.

Compared to the Normal (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 Normal (Interlace) format can show 25 or 
30 frames (50-60 fields) in one second, the 
Progressive format can show 50-60 frames in 
one second. The overall picture quality 
increases and still images, text, and horizontal 
lines appear sharper. This player is 
compatible with the 525 or 625 progressive 
format.

,continued

Progressive JPEGs are used mostly on the 
internet. They are different from other JPEGs 
in that they “fade in” gradually instead of 
being drawn from top to bottom when 
displayed on a browser. This lets you view the 
image while it is being downloaded.

On a VIDEO CD with PBC (playback 
control) functions, the menu screens, moving 
pictures and still pictures are divided into 
sections called “scenes.”

The longest section of a picture or music 
feature on a DVD, movie, etc., in video 
software, or the entire album in audio 
software. 

Sections of a picture or a music feature on a 
VIDEO CD, CD or DATA CD. (the length of 
a song). (“Track” in DATA CD is an 
exclusive definition for this player).
