DVD TERMINOLOGY the SACD disc is capable of storing more than seven times the amount of data as on a standard CD. Engineers realized that if they utilized a much higher sampling frequency in a single-bit format, but eliminated the downsampling required to fit 74 minutes of audio on a standard CD, they could preserve a much higher quality of audio that more closely approximates the original analog signal. In addition, the playback equipment would no longer need to perform an upsampling interpolation to play back the program. Eliminating these two conversion steps minimizes distortion and artifacts, while enabling much higher resolution. Most SACD discs are dual layer, including a conventional CD layer for compatibility with older disc players, as well as the SACD high-density layer. In addition, SACD discs may contain two-channel or multichannel versions of the program, or both. Title: For a DVD, a title is defined as an entire movie or program. There may be as many chapters within a title as the producers decide to include. Most discs include only one title, but some may have more than one, to give you a "Double Feature" presentation or to include other special features. Press the Title Button T to see a listing of the titles on a disc. When a disc has only one title, pressing the Title Button T may show a list of the chapters. WMA Files: WMA (Windows Media® Audio) is an audio compression format that was developed by the Microsoft® Corporation for use with its Windows Media Player. WMA files can be even smaller in size than MP3 files, while maintaining similar quality. The DVD 47 is among those DVD players capable of playing discs containing WMA files. Note that Windows Media Player uses other file formats; however, the DVD 47 is only capable of playing files that end in the ".wma" extension. See page 5 for more information on WMA file support. 8 DVD TERMINOLOGY
