Additional Information
Scene (page 9, 13, 48)
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 6)
Super Audio CD is a new high-quality audio
disc standard where music is recorded in the
DSD (Direct Stream Digital) format
(conventional CDs are recorded in the PCM
format). The DSD format, using a sampling
frequency 64 times higher than that of a
conventional CD, and with 1-bit quantization,
achieves both a wide frequency range and a
wide dynamic range across the audible
frequency range, and so provides music
reproduction extremely faithful to the
original sound.
Types of Super Audio CDs
There are two types of discs, depending on
the Super Audio CD layer and CD layer
combination.
Super Audio CD layer: A high-density
signal layer for Super Audio CD
•CD layer
1)
: A layer that is readable by a
conventional CD player
A Super Audio CD layer consists of the 2
channel area or the multi-channel area.
2 channel area: An area in which 2
channel stereo tracks are recorded
Multi-channel area: An area in which
multi-channel (up to 5.1 channels) tracks
are recorded
1) You can play the CD layer on a conventional CD
player.
2) Since both layers are on one side, it is not
necessary to turn the disc over.
3) To select a layer, see “Selecting a Playback Area
for a Super Audio CD” (page 40).
