Audio CD (CDDA)
Audio CDs contain music tracks only.
You will recognize these CDs by their
logo. You can play them in conventional
style through a stereo system, using the
keys on the remote control and/or front panel, or via the
TV using the On-screen Display (OSD).
Note: The DTS audio format discs are only compatible with
the digital outputs for this player. If you play the discs on this
player, distortion sound will come out from the analog
outputs.
DVD-Video uses state-of-the-art MPEG 2 data
compression technology to register an entire movie on a
single 5-inch disc. DVD’s variable bitrate compression,
running at up to 9.8 Mbits/second, captures even the
most complex images in their original quality.
The crystal-clear digital images have a horizontal
resolution of over 500 lines, with 720 pixels (picture
elements) to each line. This resolution is more than
double that of VHS, superior to Laser Disc, and entirely
comparable with digital masters made in recording
studios.
DVD-Video discs conform to either the PAL or NTSC
video standard. This dual-standard player can play both
types, and presents them in the best possible way on
your multi-standard TV screen.
As the universal video system of the future, DVD-Video
offers optimal images on any TV screen.

Titles and between Chapters.

Regional restriction codes (region number)
Regional restriction codes are built in to SA-12S1 players
and DVD discs for each sales region. If the regional code
of the SA-12S1 player does not match one of the
regional codes of the DVD disc, playback is not possible.
The region number can be found on the rear panel of
the SA-12S1 player. The illustration below shows the
regions and corresponding region numbers.
