About Discs
This section covers basic information on
the types of discs that can be played in the
RDV-03.
Disc Formats
The RDV-03 can automatically detect and play
several different types of disc formats.
Look for the standard logo on the packaging
for each of the following types of disc the
RDV-03 can play:
���������
��������
����
��������
The RDV-03 can also play:
• DVD-R and DVD-RW discs written in the
DVD-Video format and finalized.
• CD-R and CD-RW discs written in the
SVCD, Video CD or Audio CD format
and finalized.
• CD-R and CD-RW discs written with MP3 or
WMA or JPEG files in accordance with
the “ISO 9660” format.
DVD Region Codes
DVD-Video discs are encoded with region
codes which also appear on the packag-
ing:

A disc can only be played if its region code
matches the code printed on the back-panel
of the RDV-03.
The RDV-03 can play discs encoded in either
the NTSC or PAL video formats, outputting
the correct video signal in PAL format (Euro
model) or as set by the back-panel PAL/NTSC
switch (Asia model).
Disc Structure
Each type of disc has its own organization,
allowing you to locate various portions of the
program recorded on the disc. Depending on
the type of disc, these may be called
Titles,
Groups, Chapters,
or
Tracks:
DVD-Video:
Chapter 1
Chapter 2
Chapter 1
Chapter 2
Title 1
Title 2
A DVD-Video disc is comprised of
Titles
and
each
Title
may be divided into
Chapters
. For
example, a DVD-Video disc may contain sev-
eral movies, each with its own
Title
number,
and each movie may be divided into several
Chapters
. In a DVD-Video karaoke disc, each
song usually has its own
Title
number and
does not have
Chapters
.
Audio CD:
Track 1
Track 2
Track 3
An Audio CD, Video CD or SVCD simply
contains
Tracks
