DISC FEATURES
__________________________________________________________________________
You can control and direct playback of the VCD/S-VCD using the menu of the
DVD Micro System on the television screen.
S-VCDs can contain different dubbed languages and subtitles.
PBC (playback control)
PBC is a navigation option for VCDs/S-VCDs. PBC switches between the playlist
structure (the menu on the VCD/S-VCD) and manual selection by the user.
PBC is activated after the VCD/S-VCD has been scanned. This function allows
interactive playback of the VCD/S-VCD if you follow the menu on the television
screen.
MP3/WMA CD features
MP3 stand for MPEG-1 Audio Layer 3, WMA for Windows Media Audio. Both
formats enable audio files to be saved on a computer with a sound quality simi-
lar to that of a CD. The standard encoding bit rate for MP3 files is 128 kbps.
Generally, the higher the bit rate of a file, the better the sound quality.
Most MP3 files on the Internet are encoded at 128 or 160 kbps.
160 kbps is considered CD quality. MP3/WMA files can be downloaded from
the Internet and then burned onto a CD ROM disc. MP3/WMA CDs contain
only sound recordings.
In MP3/WMA mode, the terms “album” and “file” are very important. “Album”
corresponds to a folder on a PC, and “file” to a file on a PC or a CD-DA track.
Audio CD features
An audio CD (CD-DA) is identified by this logo.
Audio CDs contain only sound recordings. They can be played in the normal
manner on an audio system. The individual tracks are stored in a sequence.
There are no folders.
As well as audio CDs, the DVD Micro System can also read CD-R and CD-RW
with audio data.
JPEG Picture CD features
JPEG stands for Joint Picture Experts Group. This process was designed to
compress picture files.
JPEG files can be burned onto a CD along with other file types. Such CDs are
known as file CDs or mixed mode CDs. For example, the CD could contain MP3
files (audio) and JPEG files (for example to display album covers).
The files on a JPEG CD can be organised in directories. This structure is similar
to that of an MP3 CD.
JPEG CDs only contain data in the compressed JPEG format. This is mostly data
from digital cameras or from picture processing programs. The data (pictures)
can be displayed individually or in sequence in a slide show.
