GENERAL INFORMATION
8
reduces flickering images to a minimum and displays movements in a
more fluid manner.
The requirement for playing back in the PROGRESSIVE SCAN format is that
your TV can also process it.
If your TV has a so-called "Progressive Scan" function use the component
outputs to connect the DVD/HDD recorder to the TV so that you receive
the best image quality.
The PROGRESSIVE SCAN does not work with a SCART connection.
Surround sound formats
Dolby Digital 5.1
In Dolby Digital sound format the audio material is saved digitally.. In this
instance, up to five separate full-frequency audio channels (front left and
front right, centre, rear left and rear right) as well as an effect or depth
channel (5.1) are stored separately. Discs and media recorded in the Dolby
Digital format are marked with the trademarks shown here.
Because each channel is completely independent, a realistic, almost
"three-dimensional" effect is produced, creating the impression of
distance, movement, and relative position in the room.
dts (Digital Theater Systems)
The dts abbreviation is used for a less frequently used sound format in
which up to 6 (5.1) separate channels are saved to a sound medium. Discs
and media recorded in the dts format are marked with the trademarks
shown here.
Your DVD/HDD recorder can read this audio data in Dolby-Digital 5.1
format and dts format and transfers it for decoding to the digital outputs
("DIGITAL OUT)". However, it can not playback the sound of a dts sound
medium itself.
VIDEO Plus+
VIDEO Plus+ is a simple programming aid for video recording devices.
Simply enter the programming number listed for the programme in your
TV guide. The DVD/HDD recorder then adopts the start and duration of
the recording in the timer. VIDEOPlus+ and PlusCode are registered
trademarks of Gemstar Development Corporation. The VIDEOPlus+
system is produced under licence from the Gemstar Development
Corporation.
VPS/PDC
The PDC (Programme Delivery Control) or VPS (Video Programming
System) signal monitors the start and duration of a TV recording. If a TV
programme should start earlier or lasts longer than stated in the guide the
DVD/HDD recorder still switches itself on and off at the correct time. The
VPS/PDC times for a programme are found in your TV guide. If you
programme a recording time that varies from the VPS/PDC time you must
switch the PDC function off.
