Chapter
Subdivision o1"a title on a DVD. A title is
composed of several chapters.
DivX ®
Digital video technology created by
DivXNetworks, Inc. Videos encoded with DivX
technology are among the highest quality with a
relatively small file size.
Dolby Digital
This movie theater sonnd format for is more
advanced than Dolby Surround Pro Logic. In
this format, the surround speakers output stereo
sound with an expanded frequency range, and a
subwoofer channel for deep bass is
independently provided. This format is also
called "5.1" with the subwoofer channel
designed as the 0.1 channel (since it fimctions
only when a deep bass eft'_ct is needed). All six
channels in this format are recorded separately
for superior channel separation. Furthem_ore,
since all the signals are processed digitally, less
signal degradation occurs.
Dolby Pro Logic II
Dolby Pro Logic II creates five full-bandwidth
output channels from 2 channel sources. This is
done using an advanced, high-purity matrix
surround decoder that extracts the spatial
properties of the original recording without
adding an?; new sounds or tonal colorations.
• Movie mode
The Movie mode is for use with stereo t_levision
shows and all programs encoded in Dolby
Surround. The result is enhanced soundfield
directionality that approaches the quality of
discrete 5. l-channel sound.
• Music mode
The Music mode is t)r use with any stereo music
recordings, and provides a wide and deep sound
space.
Dolby Surround Pro Logic
As one method of decoding Dolby Surround,
Dolby Surround Pro Logic produces/)ur
channels from 2 channel sound. ( ompared with
the/)rmer Dolby Surround system, Dolby
Surround Pro Logic reprodnces left-to-right
panning more natnrally and localizes sounds
more precisely. To take full advantage of Dolby
Surround Pro Logic, you should have one pair of
surround speakers and a center speaker. The
surround speakers output monaural sound.
DTS
Digital audio compression technology
developed by Digital Theater Systems, Inc. This
technology conforms to 5. l-channel surround.
This format comprises of stereo rear channel and
there is discrete subwoofcr channel in this
format. DTS provides the same 5.1 discrete
channels of high quality digital audio. The good
channel separation is realized due to the all
channel data being recorded discretely and
processed in digitally.
DVD
A disc that contains up to 8 hours of moving
pictnres even though its diameter is the same as
a (D.
The data capacity of a single-layer and single-
sided DVD, at 4.7 GB (Giga Byte), is 7 times
that ofa CD. Furthermore, the data capacity of a
dnaMayer and single-sided DVD is 8.5 GB, a
single-layer and double-sided DVD 9.4 GB, and
a dual-layer and double-sided DVD 17 GB.
The pictnre data uses the MPEG 2 fore, at, one of
a worldwide standard of digital compression
technology. The pictnre data is compressed to
about 1/40 of its original size. The DVD also
uses the variable rate coding technology that
processes allocated data according to the status
of the picture.
The audio data is recorded in Dolby Digital as
well as in PCM, allowing you to enjoy more
realistic audio presence.
Furthermore, various advanced functions such
as the muhi-angle, multilingual, and Parental
Control functions are provided with the DVD.
DVD-RW
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
