playing time can be up to 2 hours (a double-sided DVD is up to 4 hours). There are four types of
DVD discs: single-layer single-sided (1), two-layer single-sided (2), single-layer doublesided (3),
and two-layer double-sided (4).

DTS-CD
The DTS digital surround sound uses 6 digital sound tracks to replace the analog voice tracks in
movies.
HDCD
HDCD, or “High Definition Compatible Digital,” is a recording/playing technology that improves CD
audio quality. Based on full compliance with CD specifications, it can enhance the quality and
quantity of digital sounds in the highest scale. It encodes the required messages that were

CD format, it is output through the 24-bit D/A converter, which will ultimately enhance the quality of
playback.
