DEFINITION OF TERMS
Angle
Recorded onto some DVD discs are scenes, which have been simultaneously shot from a number off 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 are numbered, and specific parts of video presentations can
be searched quickly using these numbers.
DVD
This 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 oven longer duration play.
Playback Control

Right and Surround) encoded into a standard 2-channel stereo signal. The rear channel is monaural.
