VIDEO CD
A compact disc which contains moving
pictures.
VIDEO CDs contain compact picture
information using the MPEG 1 format, one of
the worldwide standards for digital
compression technology. The picture
information is compressed about 120 times.
Consequently, a 12 cm VIDEO CD can contain
up to 74 minutes of moving pictures.
VIDEO CDs also contain compact audio
information. Sounds outside the range of
human hearing are compressed while the
sounds we can hear are not compressed.
VIDEO CDs can hold six times the audio
information of conventional audio CDs.
There are two versions for VIDEO CDs:
Version 1.1 (VIDEO CDs without PBC
functions):
You can play only moving pictures and sounds.
Version 2.0 (VIDEO CDs with PBC functions):
You can play still pictures and enjoy PBC
functions.
This player can play both versions.

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.
