Getting Started

De nition of Terms

Angle

Recorded onto some DVD discs are scenes which 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 num-

bered, 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.

Finalise

After being recorded and  nalised, the recorded disc can be played back on a regular DVD player if the DVD

player can take DVD+R discs.

DVD+R

This means DVD+Recordable. These Discs can be recorded and  nalised only once.

DVD+RW

This means DVD+ReWritable. These Discs can be recorded on repeatedly.

Subtitles

These are the printed lines appearing at the bottom of the screen which translate or transcribe the dialogue.

They are recorded on DVD 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.)

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.
