DVD-Series
1. Multi-Language Response
(1) Sound Selection
DVD Video contains a maximum of 8 sound streams. They flow together like traffic a
digital signal road. Do not confuse this with “8 channels”.
Including the original language, a maximum of 8 different languages can be recorded.
Additionally, Dolby AC-3, 5.1ch can be included on all 8 streams.
For example, it is possible to put English sound 5.1ch on the first, French sound 5.1ch on
the second and non-compressed linear PCM on the third stream.
However, it requires an amount of data, so the recording time of images will be shortened.
To make the image recording time longer, there are options, such as occupying less streams,
and using 2 Dolby AC-3 channels instead of non-compressed linear PCM.
(2) Subtitle Selection
Using the maximum 32 channel sub-image, DVD can process subtitles in a maximum of

Each language can be individually recorded on each channel, such as Japanese, English,
French, etc.
