Generally speaking, the content recorded on a DVD is separated into large units referred to as “titles”. A unique number called a “title number” is assigned to each of these titles, and as a result, any title can be immediately accessed using its title number. In addition, each title can be divided into smaller units referred to as “chapters”. Similarly, a unique number called a “chapter number” is assigned to each of these chapters, and this allows any chapter to be immediately accessed using its chapter number.

Each recording made to a disc is stored as a single title. In this, each pressing of the STOP button to leave Recording mode constitutes a different recording. (This action is also referred to as “title closing”.)

One of six numbers referred to as “region codes” is assigned to DVD content to control the global regions in which this content may be viewed. If a DVD’s region code does not correspond to the region code of the DVD player being used, it will not be possible to play the disc.

●This DVD recorder assigns the region code “ALL” to the discs that it records.

●It will not be possible to play discs to which region codes have been assigned.
