Disc-related Terms
Title (DVD only)
The main film, accompanying feature content, or
music album. Each title is assigned a title reference
number enabling you to locate it easily.
Chapter (DVD only)
Sections of a movie or a musical piece that are
smaller than titles. A title is composed of one or
several chapters. Each chapter is assigned a
number to enable you to easily locate the chapter
you want. Depending on the disc, chapters may not
be labeled.
Track (Audio CD only)
Sections of a movie or a musical piece on an audio
CD. Each track is assigned a number, enabling you
to easily locate the track you want.
DVD, DVD+R, DVD+RW?
What is a DVD?
DVD (Digital Versatile Disc) is a storage medium
that combines the convenience of the compact disc
with the latest digital video technology. DVD video
uses modern MPEG2 data compression technology
that enables an entire feature film to be stored on a
single five inch disc.
How good is the resolution of DVD compared with
VHS?
The razor-sharp digital images have more than 500
lines of resolution at 720 pixels per line. This is
more than twice as high as VHS and even better
than laser disc quality. DVD picture quality is easily
comparable to the digital masters produced in
recording studios.
What is a DVD+RW?
DVD+ReWritable uses ‘phase change‘ media, the
same technology on which rewritable CDs are
based. A high-performance laser is used to change
the reflective properties of the recording layer; this
process can be repeated more than a thousand
times.
What is a DVD+R?
Unlike a DVD+RW disc, a DVD+R (write-once DVD)
can only be written to once. If it is not finalised
after a recording, further recordings can be added to
it. Old recordings can be deleted but they can no
longer be overwritten. The deleted recordings
(titles) are marked 'deleted title'.
Before a DVD+R can be played in a DVD player, it
must be finalised in the HDD/DVD Recorder. Once
this process is complete, no further recordings can
be added.
What can I do with my HDD/DVD Recorder?
Your HDD/DVD Recorder is a machine for recording
and playing back digital video discs with ‘two-way‘
compatibility with the universal DVD video
standard. This means:
• existing DVD video discs can be played on the
recorder.
• recordings made on your HDD/DVD Recorder
can be played on other DVD video players and
DVD-ROM drives.

Remark :
A DVD Recorder that supports ‘dual media’
recording allows DVD+RW format recording (+VR)
on either DVD-R, DVD-RW, DVD+R or DVD+RW
media. Any editing feature that is available with the
+RW logical format is available on any of the media
types. This system allows the flexibility for the
consumer to use any of the above media formats for
recording in the same system. Since the +VR format
is DVD-Video compatible, the consumer can take
any disk recorded on this platform and should be
capable of playing it back on the majority of DVD
players on the market.
