Answer
You can play back the DVD VIDEO discs with the Region
Code (local code) containing "ALL" or "1" recorded in
the NTSC or PAL system (PAL disc signals are
reproduced by converting to the NTSC system). You can
also play back the Video CD discs recorded in the NTSC
system. Please check the information on each disc jacket.
The Region code indicates the conformity of the disc to
the standards.
Any DVD VIDEO not conforming to the standards cannot
be played back.
No, you cannot play back that disc.
Yes, you can play back the disc because Dolby Digital EX
is compatible with Dolby Digital. However, to get the
maximum performance of Dolby Digital EX, we
recommend to connect the DIGITAL OUT jack to a
decoder or amplifier/receiver with built-in decoder that
supports Dolby Digital EX. In this case, set "DIGITAL
AUDIO OUTPUT" on the "AUDIO" preference display to
"STREAM/PCM."
Though you cannot enjoy audio using the analog audio
outputs (AUDIO OUT), you can enjoy DTS ES audio by
connecting the DIGITAL OUT jack to a decoder or
amplifier/receiver with built-in decoder that supports
DTS ES. In this case, set "DIGITAL AUDIO OUTPUT" on
the "AUDIO" preference display to "STREAM/PCM."
Yes you can. "THX" is a name of the original standard for
high quality picture/audio recording and playback
established by Lucasfilm Ltd. A disc labeled "THX" is
certified that it passed this standard.
The disc is of the data CD format, therefore, the unit can
play back only files of the MP3 format.
Both are surround sound standards developed by Dolby
Laboratories Inc. in the U.S.A.
Dolby Surround records 2-channel surround audio
information are recorded onto the analog stereo (left and
right) channels together with front stereo audio
information. When played back, the surround signals are
separated by a Dolby Surround or Dolby Pro Logic
decoder.
Dolby Digital digitally encodes and records up to six
channel information for left, right, center, rear left, rear
right and LFE (Low-Frequency Effect for Sub-woofer etc.).
When played back, a Dolby Digital decoder decodes data
and outputs signals separately.
Generally, Dolby Digital sounds better.
It is a block noise specific to a motion picture recorded in
digital, and is not a malfunction of the unit.
The operation of this unit may occasionally be
unacceptable due to the intention of the disc contents
creator and/or structural restrictions.
Most of all DVD VIDEO discs are copy-protected so that
you cannot record DVD VIDEO data onto any video tape.
No, you cannot.
