How to operate the DVD player
Multiplex angle
This is one of the features of DVD video discs. The same scene is
shot from different angles, and these angles are all recorded onto a
single disc, so that you can change the angle when viewing the
pictures.
Subtitles (multiplex audio)
More than one audio track or subtitle track in different languages can
be recorded for a single sequence of pictures, and you can select
whichever language you prefer.
Region number
(number for regions where the disc can be played back)
DVD players and DVD discs normally include numbers that indicate
the regions where the discs can be played back (known as "region
numbers"). If the number assigned to a disc is not included in the
region numbers which have been programmed into the DVD player,
then that disc cannot be played back on that DVD player. Refer to
page 45 for further details on region numbers.
Dolby Digital (5.1 ch) / Dolby Surround (Prologic)
These terms refer to three-dimensional sound effect technology
developed by Dolby Corporation. By connecting a digital surround
unit (sold separately) which is compatible with Dolby Digital (5.1 ch),
you can enjoy sound which is closer in feel to a movie theater.
DTS
This is a digital audio system designed for theaters which was
developed by Digital Theater Systems, Inc. DTS is one of the
alternative systems to Dolby Digital. It uses six audio channels to
provide accurate sound field orientation and more realistic sound
effects.
The features of DTS cannot be obtained unless a digital surround unit
(sold separately) is connected.
