Operation Manual

Appendix A: Setup options 275
• MPEG audio support is always provided on PAL
players. On NTSC players it is broadly supported,
but theoretically optional.
• Dolby Digital 2-channel encoding can be used to
compactly store either a stereo or a surround
soundtrack. To hear the surround mix requires
equipment with Dolby Pro Logic compatibility. On
other systems, it will be heard as a normal stereo mix.
• Dolby Digital 5.1-channel encoding stores the
surround channels discretely. To hear the surround
mix on playback requires a surround amplifier and
speaker system.
VBR/CBR: Choose whether to write the MPEG data to
the disc using VBR (variable bit rate) or CBR (constant
bit rate) encoding. The VBR option uses less storage at
a given quality level than CBR, but may cause
problems when the file is viewed using some DVD
players. If you observe jerky or stuttering playback, use
CBR.
