DVD video disc information
DVD video discs
A DVD video disc is a Digital Versatile Disc that holds video. DVD video
discs have adopted “MPEG2”, one of the world standards of digital com-
pression technologies. The picture data is compressed by 1/40 on average
and stored. Variable rate encoded technology in which the volume of data
assigned to the picture is changed depending on the picture format has also
been adopted. Audio data is stored using PCM and Dolby Digital, which
enables higher quality of sound. Furthermore, multi-angle and multi-lan-
guage features will also help you enjoy the more advanced technology of
DVD video.
Viewer restrictions
This feature limits what can be viewed in conformity with the level of
restrictions of the country. The level of restrictions varies depending on the
DVD video disc. Some DVD video discs cannot be played at all, or violent
scenes are skipped or replaced with other scenes.
Level 1: DVD video discs for children can be played.
Level 2-7: DVD video discs for children and G-rated movies can be
played.
Level 8: All types of DVD video discs can be played.
Multi-angle option
You can enjoy the same scene from different angles.
Multi-language option
You can select the subtitle and audio languages.
Region codes
The region codes are provided on DVD players and DVD discs. If the DVD
video disc does not have the same region code as the DVD player, you can-
not play the disc on the DVD player. (P. 489)
Audio
This DVD player can play linear PCM, Dolby Digital and MPEG audio for-
mat DVDs. Other decoded types cannot be played.

video discs. Usually, one movie, one album, or one audio program is
