Region Number

The world is divided into 6 regions for DVD VIDEO discs.

DVD VIDEO discs are assigned a region number to indicate which region they may be played back in. A disc cannot be played back on this unit unless the region number of the disc matches that of the unit. The region number for this unit is “1”. Only discs whose region number includes “1” or “ALL” can be played back such as shown below.

File Structure Of Discs

DVD VIDEO

Typically, DVD VIDEO discs are made up of larger units called “titles”. Each title has a number (title number) that can be used to select desired titles. Titles are further divided into units called “chapters”. Each chapter has a number (chapter number) that can also be used to select desired chapters. Note that some discs are not divided into titles and chapters.

When you record a program on a DVD-RAM/RW (VR mode) disc

A single recording session results in a single title (a single chapter). However, chapter marks are automatically inserted when recording is paused, or audio changes from monaural to stereo due to commercial breaks, etc. It is also possible to insert chapter marks at desired locations during playback. ( pg. 27)

When you record a program on a DVD-R/RW (Video mode) disc

A single recording session results in a single title (a single chapter). However, chapter marks are automatically inserted when recording is paused, or audio changes due to commercial breaks, etc. It is also possible to insert chapter marks at desired locations during either recording or playback. Once the disc has been finalized, these chapter marks are deleted and new chapter marks are assigned automatically approximately every 5 minutes.
