DVD discs
Your Philips DVD Receiver player will play digital video discs
conforming to the universal DVD Video standard. In
addition to DVD Video discs, you will be able to play audio
CDs.
DVD Video discs have “Titles” and “Chapters”. There can
be several Titles on one disc and each Title can contain
several Chapters. Titles and Chapters are numbered (e.g.
Title 1, Title 2, etc., and Chapter 1, 2, 3, etc.).
Usually one Title will show the disc publisher and studio
logos. Under another Title is the featue film itself. Other
Titles can contain trailers for other films also available, or
introduction notes from the film, or alternative endings for
the film. There are many possibilities with Digital Versatile
Discs.
Chapters within the main Title allow you to search quickly
for a specific point on the disc. Many discs have a “Chapter
Menu”, sometimes called “Scene Index” or “Scene Menu”,
that displays the first shot from each Chapter and allows
you to select a shot and play the disc from that point
forward. DVD discs can be PAL or NTSC. This player can
play both types (as long as the zone is correct formatted).
DVD discs allow up to 8 languages and 32 subtitles on a
single disc. You can select and change the language and
subtitle to suit yourself. You can play the whole disc or just
part of it and view it from different angles. However,
availability of these features varies among discs. Check the
disc menu or outer case to see if such features (for
example, subtitles, angles) are available on the disc.
Player Zones
There are six world zones for the distribution of DVD
Discs. The zone your player is intended for is indicated on
the “Zone Label”. This should be the same as the label on
discs available in your region. If you have any difficulty
playing a disc, make sure the disc is the same zone as your
player.
