Multi-Language Subtitles
Subtitles are language titles superimposed on movies,
or other media. Up to 32 different subtitle languages can
be recorded on a DVD disc. The subtitle function can be
used to select the language of your choice.
Multiple Languages
On DVDs, you can select the language on when
watching movies or other media that have multiple
language and/or audio soundtracks recorded on them.
Up to 8 different language and/or audio soundtracks can
be recorded on a DVD disc.
Parental lock level
This function was suggested by parents concerned
about what type of media their children were able to
watch. Parental lock restrictions are restrictions
incorporated into titles which include scenes that
parents may not wish their children to view.
PCM
PCM stands for Pulse Code Modulation and is digital
audio. The digital audio of CDs is PCM. This player also
has a function that converts Dolby Digital and MPEG
digital bitstreams into PCM to enable you to listen to
quality digital sound even without a special decoder.
Playback Control (PBC)
This refers to signals recorded on a Super VCD or a
Video CD (Version 2.0) enabling playback control.
You can use menus recorded on discs with PBC for
easy, interactive search for desired scenes, and
playback.
You can also enjoy viewing high-resolution/standard
resolution still images.
Regional restriction codes (region number)
Regional restriction codes are built in to DVD players
and DVD discs for each sales region. If the regional code
of the DVD player does not match one of the regional
codes of the DVD disc, playback is not possible.
The region number can be found on the rear panel of
the DVD player. The illustration below shows the
regions and corresponding region numbers.
Sampling Frequency
When a sound wave is converted to a digital signal, the
sound is sampled and converted to data at a specific
frequency rate. For example, a signal with a 96 kHz
sampling rate indicates that in one second, the analog
signal was sampled 96000 times to produce the digital
signal.
S-video
Connecting the S-video output on the player to a TV or
monitor with S-video input via an S-video cable produces
clearer picture reproduction by sending separate signals
for the luminance and the color. These signals are then
combined by the television to produce a better quality
picture.
System control
When you connect this player via a cord with a mini plug
to another Pioneer component such as a receiver or an
amplifier bearing the Î mark, you can control the player
as though it were a component in a system. To control
the player, point the player’s remote control at the
component that the player is connected to, and not the
player itself.
Title number
DVD discs are divided into units referred to as titles, and
titles are divided into chapters. Menu screens do not
belong to any title. A disc which contains a movie may
have only one title with many or no chapter divisions.
Karaoke discs may have many titles, assigning a title to
each song on the disc.
