GENERAL
MP3 format
MP3 is a compression format for audio data. The MP3 format was developed
to provide extremely high compression of audio data.
To be recognised as such, MP3 files must be saved with the corresponding
.mp3 filename extension. Unlike the usual audio CD, an MP3 CD can be sub-
divided, in the same way as a computer data CD, into directories (folders, al-
bums) and files (tracks, titles).
Available surround sound formats
Dolby Digital 5.1
This format uses digitally recorded sound with up to five separate full-band-
width audio channels (front left, right and middle, rear left and right) and an ef-
fects or base channel (5.1) recorded separately. Material with sound in Dolby
Digital format is marked with the adjacent trademark.
As the channels are completely independent, a three-dimensional impression
can be created with clarity of distance, movement and relative position.
Your DVD recorder can read these audio data and passes them to the digital
outputs (DIGITAL OUT) for decoding. It cannot, however, decode the sound
from a dts recording itself.
dts (Digital Theatre System)
The abbreviation dts denotes a sound format that is, as yet, not very wi-
despread but also provides for the recording of up to six (5.1) separate chan-
nels. Material with sound in dts format is marked with the adjacent trademark.
Your DVD recorder can read these audio data and passes them to the digital
outputs (DIGITAL OUT) for decoding. It cannot, however, decode the sound
from a dts recording itself.
Prograssive Scan
Your recorder has standard, video, SCART (Peritel), S video, and component
outputs. With an S video connection, the picture quality is better than with a
simple cinch video connection. A SCART connection can yield still better pic-
ture quality than an S video connection.
If your TV receiver has a progressive scan capability, the best picture quality
will be obtained by using the component video outputs. Using progressive
scan, the picture frequency is higher, flicker is minimised and motion is better
resolved.
The requirement is, of course, that your TV receiver can process this format.
Progressive scan does not work with a SCART or any other video connection.
