DISC NOTES
Compatible Disc Types
DVD Video
DVDs contain excellent sound and video quality due to Dolby Digital and MPEG2 encoding. A
DVD is 12 cm in diameter and can hold more than seven times the data of a CD-ROM. The
maximum playing time can be up to 2 hours (a double-sided DVD is up to 4 hours). There are four
types of DVD discs: single-layer single-sided (1), two-layer single-sided (2), single-layer double-
sided (3), and two-layer double-sided (4).
CD-DA
CD-DA discs can play voice data. The playing time of the standard 12 cm CD-DA disc is 74
minutes.
DTS-CD
The DTS digital surround sound uses 6 digital sound tracks to replace the analog voice tracks in
movies.
HDCD
HDCD, or “High Definition Compatible Digital,” is a recording/playing technology that improves
CD audio quality. Based on full compliance with CD specifications, it can enhance the quality and
quantity of digital sounds in the highest scale. It encodes the required messages that were
deserted by the CD format, and stores the related commands into the LSB. Without changing the
CD format, it is output through the 24-bit D/A converter, which will ultimately enhance the quality
of playback.
