HDD/DVD Combined Storage
HDD and DVD discs in combination make a highly compact system for storing data. High quality audio and video
information is stored after being compiled in MPEG-II format.
There are 4 types of DVD discs usually used:
-
Single-sided single-layer DVD-5 with a capacity of 4.7 GB
- Single-sided double-layer DVD-9 with a capacity of 8.5GB
- Double-sided singled-layer DVD-10 with a capacity of 9.46GB
- Double-sided double-layer DVD-18 with a capacity of 17GB.
The storage capacity of the internal HDD is 80/160
/ 2 5 0 / 3 0 0 / 3 2 0
GB respectively.
DVD+RW
A DVD+RW disc is also called a DVD + Rewritable disc. Each DVD+RW can be recorded about 1000 times.
DVD+R
The recordable DVD+R disc is a write-once DVD. In other words a DVD+R can be recorded only once. The
recorded disc can be played on other DVD players after finalizing and cannot be recorded a second time.
Formatting a disc
Formatting the disc means removing information stored on the optical disc or hard disc.
Compatibility (Finalization)
Finalization means to process the information stored on the disc so as to make it compatible with other DVD
players. Without this process, the disc can only be played on this machine. This function is relevant to DVD+R
discs only.

Titles

titles in the DVD disc menu. The DVD player converts these files into visual and audible signals. Each title
corresponds with a serial number so that it can be found easily.
