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”.)

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
