equipment, the on-screen display may not be displayed

reduced.)  
– Only a few instruments are playing in the stereo-  
recorded disc  
– A duet is being played  
– The disc has strong echoes or chorus  
– The singers voice on the disc deviates from the center  
– Multiplex discs  
When you select ON SCREEN OFF display mode, no  
information is shown on the TV screen.  
If you press MPX (see page 24), Karaoke Pon will be  
automatically canceled.

VIDEO CD  
A compact disc that contains moving pictures.  
The picture information uses the MPEG 1 format, one  
of the world wide standards of digital compact  
technology. The picture information is compressed  
about 120 times. Consequently, a 12 cm VIDEO CD can  
contain up to 74 minutes of moving pictures.  
VIDEO CDs also contain compact audio information.  
Sounds outside the range of human hearing are  
compressed while the sounds we can hear arent  
compressed. VIDEO CDs can hold 6 times the audio  
information of conventional audio CDs.  
There are 2 versions of VIDEO CDs.  
• Version 1.1: You can play only moving pictures and  
sounds.  
• Version 2.0: You can play high-resolution still  
pictures and enjoy PBC functions.  
This player conforms to both versions.
