DVD Data Configuration Region Codes

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 DVD-R or DVD-RW (video mode) 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”.)

It is also possible to insert chapter marks to partition titles at the desired points by pressing the REC button while recording.

It is possible to automatically add a chapter mark when recording is temporarily stopped by pressing the PAUSE button. (Set from the menu.) In addition, your BD-X200 can also be used to automatically insert chapter marks at regular intervals. (CHAPTER CREATION menu settings will be required for this function.)

DVD-R or DVD-RW

	Title 1			Title 2
Chapter 1	Chapter 2	Chapter 3	Chapter 1		Chapter 2

●Before a title is closed, it will be possible to modify the style used for chapter menu display, to change the thumbnails used, and to input thumbnail names.

●Before a disc is finalized, it will be possible to modify the style used for the title menu and to input title names.

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.

Screen Sizes

This DVD recorder is capable of recording video content for wide- screen TVs (i.e., with a 16:9 aspect ratio).

In addition, signals for normal content with a 4:3 aspect ratio, for squeezed content (i.e., where the left and right are compressed), and for letterbox content (i.e., where the top and bottom of the screen are black) can be recorded as is.

●Thumbnail creation method for use in the title/chapter menu during wide-signal input can be selected in THUMBNAIL FORM of the RECORDER MENU (2/2) screen. (☞ Page 90)
