Glossary ACS'AMS Automatic Chapter Sensor/ Automatic Music Sensor is a function in the player that allows the laser beam to sense the beginning of chapters or tracks on a disc. CAVDiscs Constant Angular Velocity (CAV) or standard-play discs rotate at a constant 1800 r/min. Each track traced by the laser for a single rotation of the disc produces a single frame. Up to 54.000 frames make up each side of the disc, for up to 30 minutes of play. Each frame has a number that is stored with other data on the disc. When searching for a particular location on CAV discs, you must enter that 'frame number. Chapters Some laser discs are divided into sections, called chapters. These are analogous to tracks on CDs. Such discs usually have a numbered list of chapters on the jacket or label. Each chapter has been numbered for easy location when you use Chapter Search, Repeat or Program functions. CLVDiscs Constant Linear Velocity (CLV) or extended-play discs double maximum playing time to 80 minutes by varying the rotational speed from a maximum of 1800 //min to a minimum of 800 r/min as the laser beam moves away from the center of the disc. The disc surface therefore moves past the laser head at a constant rate, and each track is longer than its predecessor. For this reason. Variable Speed Play, Freeze Frame, and Step Play are not possible with CLV discs, so when searching for a scene you must enter the time on CLV discs instead of the frame number. DigitalSoundRecordings Sound translated into digital signals has a better signal-to-noise ratio. Therefore, digital sound recordings offer a higher quality reproduction than the alternative, analog recordings (found on LPs and older audio cassette tapes). However, some laser discs have been recorded in the higher-quality digital audio signal as well as the conventional analog type signal. This player reproduces both signals with priority given to the digital signal when it is encountered. indexes Signs marked in a chapter or track so that you can find a particular point on the case easily. MULTIAUDIODisc Different sounds are recorded on analog and digital tracks. You can select either sound by switching one to the other. SAP Second Audio Programs are double soundtrack recordings found on bilingual and karaoke (sing-along) recordings. Two completely different sound programs have been recorded on the disc. By pressing the AUDIO MONITOR button, you can switch from one sound track to the other. TOC Table of Contents signals are recorded on some LDs. When playing back LDs with TOC signals, additional functions can be enjoyed such as; Shuffle Play and Delete Shuffle Play. Tracks CDs and CDVs are divided into sections, called tracks. Each track has been numbered for easy location when you use Track Search, Repeat or Program functions. The tracks usually correspond to the selections on the disc. 46 Additionalinformation L e Fhay arc D claykTPAck 0112crtirld ;rir n ce EliCyr such as
