Angle
Encoded onto certain special edition DVD discs are scenes that have been simultaneously shot from a number of differ-
ent 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
specific parts of video presentations can be searched quickly using these numbers.
DVD
Refers 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 pleasing 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.
Subtitles
These are the printed lines appearing at the bottom of the screen which translate or transcribe the dialogue. They are
encoded on DVD discs.
Time Digit
This indicates the play time which has elapsed from the start of a disc or a title. It can be used to find a specific 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 specific tracks to be located
quickly.
