14Additional information

PureCinema

Video on a DVD disc may be either video material (originally shot on video) or film material (originally shot on film). Video material has a frame rate of 30 frames/ second, compared to 24 frames/second for film. This recorder converts film material to 60 frames/second (in progressive scan mode). PureCinema adjusts the picture so that it matches more closely the picture quality of a cinema screen.

You can see whether video on a DVD disc is film or video material by displaying the transfer rate. If a ‘#’ appears above the transfer rate display, it is film material.

Regions (DVD-Video only)

3 4 ALL

(example region code marks)

Regions associate discs and players with particular areas of the world. This unit will only play discs that have compatible region codes. You can find the region code of your unit by looking on the rear panel. Some discs are compatible with more than one region (or all regions).

Sampling frequency

The rate at which sound is measured to be turned into digital audio data. The higher the rate, the better the sound quality, but the more digital information is generated. Standard CD audio has a sampling frequency of 44.1kHz, which means 44,100 samples (measurements) per second. See also Digital audio.

Title

A collection of chapters on a the HDD/DVD disc. See also Chapter.

Track

Audio CDs and Video CDs use tracks to divide up the content of a disc. The DVD equivalent is called a chapter. See also Chapter.

USB is primarily used by PCs to allow connection and communication with peripheral devices, including printers, scanners, digital cameras, keyboards, mice, and other devices. You can connect several devices to a single USB port by way of a USB hub.
