the SACD disc is capable of storing more than seven

times the amount of data as on a standard CD.

Engineers realized that if they utilized a much higher

sampling frequency in a single-bit format, but eliminat-

ed the downsampling required to fit 74 minutes of

audio on a standard CD, they could preserve a much

higher quality of audio that more closely approximates

the original analog signal. In addition, the playback

equipment would no longer need to perform an

upsampling interpolation to play back the program.

Eliminating these two conversion steps minimizes dis-

tortion and artifacts, while enabling much higher reso-

lution. Most SACD discs are dual layer, including a

conventional CD layer for compatibility with older disc

players, as well as the SACD high-density layer. In

addition, SACD discs may contain two-channel or

multichannel versions of the program, or both.

Title: For a DVD, a title is defined as an entire movie

or program. There may be as many chapters within a

title as the producers decide to include. Most discs

include only one title, but some may have more than

one, to give you a “Double Feature” presentation or to

include other special features. Press the Title Button



to see a listing of the titles on a disc. When a disc

has only one title, pressing the Title Button

may

show a list of the chapters.

WMA Files: WMA (Windows Media

Audio) is an

audio compression format that was developed by the

Microsoft

Corporation for use with its Windows Media

Player. WMA files can be even smaller in size than

MP3 files, while maintaining similar quality. The

DVD 47 is among those DVD players capable of play-

ing discs containing WMA files. Note that Windows

Media Player uses other file formats; however, the

DVD 47 is only capable of playing files that end in the

“.wma” extension. See page 5 for more information

on WMA file support.
