to prevent the player from malfunctioning, a

Glossary
Chapter (page 9)
Sections of a picture or a music feature that
are smaller than titles. A title is composed of
several chapters. Depending on the disc, no
chapters may be recorded.
Digital Cinema Sound (DCS) (page 58)
Technology that Sony developed to enjoy
surround in a home using 4 or more speakers.
It simulates the sound of a movie editing
studio instead of the usual concert hall so that
you can enjoy the surround sound of a movie
theatre in the comfort of your own home.
Digital audio compression technology
developed by Dolby Laboratories. This
technology conforms to 5.1-channel
surround sound. The rear channel is stereo
and there is a discrete subwoofer channel in
this format. Dolby Digital provides the same
5.1 discrete channels of high quality digital
audio found in Dolby Digital cinema audio
systems. Good channel separation is realized
because all of the channel data are recorded
discretely and little deterioration is realized
because all channel data processing is digital.
Dolby Surround (Pro Logic) (page 26)
Audio signal processing technology that
Dolby Laboratories developed for surround
sound. When the input signal contains a
surround component, the Pro Logic process
outputs the front, centre and rear signals. The
rear channel is monaural.
