De nition of Terms

Angle

Certain DVD discs include an “ANGLE” feature where scenes have been si mul ta neous ly shot from a number

of different angles (the same scene is shot from the front, from the left side, from the right side, etc.).

With such discs, the ANGLE button can be used to view the scene from different angles.

Chapter Number

These numbers are recorded on DVD discs. A title is subdivided into many sections, each of which is

numbered, and speci c parts of video presentations can be searched quickly using these numbers.

DVD

These refer to a high-density optical disc on which high-quality pictures and sound have been recorded

by means of digital signals. Incorporating a new video compression technology (MPEG II) and high-density

recording technology, DVD enables aesthetically pleas ing full-motion video to be recorded over long periods

of time (for instance, a whole movie can be recorded).

DVD has a structure consisting of two 0.6 mm thin discs which are adhered to each other. Since the thinner

the disc, the higher the density at which the information can be recorded, a DVD disc has a greater capacity

than a single 1.2 mm thick disc. Since the two thin discs are adhered to each other, there is the potential

to achieve double-sided play sometime in the future for even longer duration play.

DVD+R

This disc format stands for DVD+Recordable. These Discs can be recorded and  nalized only once. This

recorder is designed to record DVD+R and DVD+RW discs only, and also plays back most DVD-R and DVD-RW

discs.

DVD+RW

This disc format stands for DVD+ReWritable. These Discs can be recorded on repeatedly. This recorder is

designed to record DVD+R and DVD+RW discs only, and also plays back most DVD-R and DVD-RW discs.

External Sources

External Sources, as indicated in the manual include, Video Tape recording, Satellite devices, Cable boxes,

etc. Refer to your owner’s manual(s) included with these devices to ensure proper hook-up.

Finalize

After being recorded and  nalized, the recorded disc may be played back on a standard DVD player, provided

it accepts and can read DVD+R/RW discs.

Play Time

This indicates the play time which has elapsed from the start of a disc or a title. It can be used to  nd a

speci c scene quickly. (It may not work with some discs.)

Protect Title

A feature of a DVD+RW disc, that when selected, will prevent a title to be accidentally erased from the

disc.

Subtitles

These are the printed lines appearing at the bottom of the screen which translate or transcribe the dia-

logue. They are recorded on DVD discs.

Title Number

These numbers are recorded on DVD discs. When a disc contains two or more movies, these movies are

numbered as title 1, title 2, etc.

Track Number

These numbers are assigned to the tracks which are recorded on audio CDs. They enable speci c tracks

to be located quickly.

Important! Please Read the Following:

Always protect your valuable recorded titles on your DVD+RW discs, refer to Chapter 3,

Page 52 to learn how to protect your recordings.

When using/playing a DVD+RW disc, it is possible to record over an existing title in the

following instance(s):

1. Upon the initial insertion of a DVD+RW disc, at the title screen, the player will highlight

or select the  rst title. Please note that if the RECORD button is pressed TWICE at this

screen, the recorder will record over the selected title and all subsequent titles on the disc.

If this is not your intention, press the STOP button immediately.

This feature is similar to how your VCR operates, however with DVD+RW discs you can

selectively protect recordings, a VCR cannot do this.

2. If you are viewing a title on a DVD+RW and you press the RECORD button on the

remote control while viewing the title, the recorder will record over your existing recording

from that point forward, similar to that of a VCR. If this occurs, press STOP on your remote

immediately, otherwise all subsequent titles on the disc will be recorded over.
