This function automatically turns the power on and starts to playback when a tape with
the erasure protection tabs removed is inserted.

Enhanced picture quality during playback.

This function facilitates S-VHS software playback.  The original high picture quality of S-
VHS (horizontal resolution of 400 lines) cannot be played.

When noise appears on an image during tape playback, you can adjust the image
quality to a suitable level so as to reduce the noise.

Recorded onto some DVD discs are scenes which have been simultaneously shot from
a number of different angles (the same scene is shot from the front, from the left side,
from the right side, etc,). With such discs, you can select the angle on Function Control
Screen to view the scene from different angles.

These numbers are recorded on DVD discs. A title is subdivided into many sections,
each of which is numbered, and specific parts of video presentations can be searched
quickly using these numbers.

This refers to a high-density optical disc on which high-quality pictures and sound have
been recorded by means of digital signals. Incorporating a new video compression
technology (MPEG II) and high-density recording technology, DVD enables esthetically
pleasing full-motion video to be recorded over long periods of time (for instance, a
whole movie can be recorded).
DVD has a structure consisting of two 0.6 mm thin discs which are adhered to each
other. Since the thinner the disc, the higher the density at which the information can be
recorded, a DVD disc has a greater capacity than a single 1.2 mm thick disc. Since the
two thin discs are adhered to each other, there is the potential to achieve double-sided
play sometime in the future for even longer duration play.

Screen size that cuts off the top and bottom of the image to allow playing of Wide (16:9)
software on a connected 4:3 TV.

Linear PCM is a signal recording format used for audio CDs.
The sound on audio CDs is recorded at 44.1 kHz with 16 bits. (On DVD discs, sound is
recorded at between 48 kHz with 16 bits and 96 kHz with 24 bits.)

Screen size that cuts off the sides of the image to allow playing of Wide (16:9) software
on a connected 4:3 TV.
