Progressive format (page 21)
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 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
480 progressive format.
Progressive JPEG
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.
Scene (page 12)
On a VIDEO CD with PBC (playback
control) functions, the menu screens, moving
pictures and still pictures are divided into
sections called “scenes.”
Super Audio CD (page 8)
A Super Audio CD disc can reproduce sounds
that are extremely faithful to the original
sound by use of DSD (Direct Stream Digital)
technology. This technology utilizes a
sampling frequency of 2.8224 MHz, which is
64 times that of a conventional CD, and 1-bit
quantization that enables the disc to hold 4
times the amount of information that a
standard PCM format CD can hold. Super
Audio CDs are divided into the following
types.
• Super Audio CD (single layer disc)
This disc consists of a single HD layer*.
*High density signal layer for the Super Audio CD
• Super Audio CD (dual layer disc)
This disc consists of dual HD layers and is
capable of extended play over long periods.
Also, as the dual layer disc consists of dual
HD layers on one side only, you do not have
to turn the disc over during playback.
• Super Audio CD + CD (Hybrid disc)
This disc consists of an HD layer and a CD
layer. Also, as the dual layers are on one
side only, you do not have to turn the disc
over during playback. You can play the CD
layer using a conventional CD player.
• 2 channel + Multi-channel Super Audio CD
This disc consists of the 2 channel playback
area and the multi-channel playback area.
Title (page 12)
The longest section of a picture or music
feature on a DVD, movie, etc., in video
software, or the entire album in audio
software.
Track (page 12)
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.)
Video Index (VIDEO CD) (page 15)
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.
