Sony DAV-DX355 Manual

A Super Audio CD layer consists of the 2 
channel area or the multi-channel area.

• 2 channel area: An area in which 2 channel 

stereo tracks are recorded

• Multi-channel area: An area in which multi-

channel (up to 5.1 channels) tracks are 
recorded

1)

You can play the CD layer on a conventional CD 

player.

2)

Since both layers are on one side, it is not necessary 

to turn the disc over.

3)

To select a layer, see “Selecting a Playback Area for 

a Super Audio CD” (page 49).

To select an area, see “Selecting a Playback Area for 

a Super Audio CD” (page 49). 

The longest section of a picture or music feature 
on a DVD, movie, etc., in video software, or the 
entire album in audio software. 

Section of a picture or a music piece on a 
VIDEO CD, CD, Super Audio CD, or MP3. An 
album is composed of several tracks (MP3 
only). 

A compact disc that contains moving pictures.
The picture data uses the MPEG 1 format, one of 
a worldwide standard of digital compression 
technology. The picture data is compressed to 
about 1/140 of its original size. Consequently, a 
12 cm VIDEO CD can contain up to 74 minutes 
of moving pictures.
VIDEO CDs also contain compact audio data. 
Sounds outside the range of human hearing are 
compressed while sounds we can hear are not 

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 system conforms to both versions.
