File
A JPEG image recorded or a DivX video* on a
DATA CD/DATA DVD. (“File” is an exclusive
definition for this system.) A single file consists of
a single image or movie.
* European models only.
Film based software, Video based software
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 theatres. Video based DVDs, such
as television dramas or sit-coms, displays images
at 30 frames (or 60 fields) per second.
Interlace format
(Interlaced scanning)
The Interlace format is the NTSC standard method
for displaying TV images at 30 frames per second.
Each frame is scanned twice - alternately between
the even numbered scanning lines and then odd
numbered scanning lines, at 60 times per second.
Mica reinforced cellular diaphragm
The Mica reinforced cellular diaphragm is made
of a light weight and highly rigid composite
material that consists of Mica flake and synthetic
fiber.
It is constructed with layers of Mica flake. This
construction realizes diaphragm with low density
and high rigidity at the same time.
In this system, a Mica reinforced cellular
diaphragm is used for the subwoofer.
Multi-angle function
Various angles of a scene, or viewpoints of the
video camera are recorded on some DVDs.
Multilingual function
Several languages for the sound or subtitles in a
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
(sequential scanning)
In contrast to the Interlace format, the progressive
format can reproduce 50 - 60 frames per second by
reproducing all scanning lines (525 lines for the
NTSC system, 625 lines for the PAL system). The
overall picture quality increases and still images,
text and horizontal lines appear sharper. This
format is compatible with the 525 or 625
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 discs that match
its region code. The system can also play discs
with the “
” mark. Even when the region code
is not shown on the DVD, the region limit may
still apply.
S-Force PRO Front Surround
Sony’s long-term involvement in surround
technology (and the vast amounts of acoustic data
accumulated as a result) has led to the
development of all-new processing method and
advanced DSP to handle this task effectively,
which we call S-Force PRO Front Surround.
Compared with previous front surround
technologies, S-Force PRO Front Surround
reproduces a more convincing sense of distance
and space, resulting in a true surround sound
experience without the need for rear speakers.
S-Master
S-Master is an all-digital amplifier technology
developed by Sony, which effectively minimizes
the occurrence of sound fragmentation and jitter,
delivering superb dialog clarity and faithful
reproduction of the original sound. The compact
amplifier section supports a higher power
efficiency and improved thermal performance.
