DVD-RW (page 8)

ADVD-RW is a recordable and rewritable disc that is the same size as a DVD VIDEO. The DVD- RW has two different modes: VR mode and Video mode. DVDs created in Video mode have the same format as a DVD VIDEO, while discs created in VR (Video Recording) mode allow the contents to be programmed or edited.

DVD VIDEO (page 10)

A disc that contains up to eight hours of moving pictures on a disc the same diameter as a CD. The data capacity of a single-layer and single- sided DVD is 4.7 GB (Giga Byte), which is 7 times that of a CD. The data capacity of a double- layer and single-sided DVD is 8.5 GB, a single- layer and double-sided DVD is 9.4 GB, and double-layer and double-sided DVD is 17 GB. The picture data uses the MPEG 2 format, which is a worldwide standard of digital compression technology. The picture data is compressed to about 1/40 (average) of its original size. The DVD also uses a variable rate coding technology that changes the data to be allocated according to the status of the picture. Audio information is recorded in a multi-channel format, such as Dolby Digital, allowing you to enjoy a more real audio presence.

Furthermore, various advanced functions such as the multi-angle, multilingual, and Parental Control functions are provided on the DVD.

File (page 61)

A JPEG image recorded on a DATA CD. (File is an exclusive definition for this recorder.) A single file consist of a single image.

Folder (page 61)

A unit in which to store JPEG image files on a DATA CD. (Folder is an exclusive definition for this recorder.)

Interlace format (page 78)

Interlace format shows every other line of an image as a single “field” and is the standard method for displaying images on television. The even number field shows the even numbered lines of an image, and the odd numbered field shows the odd numbered lines of an image.

i.LINK (page 70)

A digital serial interface for handling digital video, digital audio and other data in two directions between equipment having the i.LINK jack, and for controlling other equipment. “i.LINK” is a more familiar term for IEEE 1394 data transport bus proposed by SONY, and is a trademark approved by many corporations. IEEE 1394 is an international standard standardized by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers.

MPEG Audio (page 80)

International standard coding system used to compress audio digital signals authorized by ISO/ IEC. MPEG 2, used on DVDs, conforms to up to 7.1-channel surround.

Original (page 63)

Titles actually recorded on a DVD-RW (VR mode). Erasing original titles frees up disc space.

Playlist (page 63)

Playback information created from the actual recordings on a DVD-RW (VR mode). A Playlist leaves the original titles as they are, and contains only the information needed to control playback. A Playlist title takes up very little disc space.

Progressive format (page 78)

Compared to the Interlace format that alternately shows every other line of an image (field) to create one frame, the Progressive format shows the entire image at once as a single frame. This means that while the Interlace format can show 25-30 frames/ 50-60 fields in one second, the Progressive format can show 50/60 frames in one second. The overall picture quality increases and still images, text, and horizontal lines appear sharper.

Title (page 56)

The longest section of a picture or music feature on a DVD, movie, etc., in video software, or the entire album in audio software.

Track (page 56)

Sections of a picture or a music feature on a VIDEO CD, CD, or DATA CD (the length of a song). (Track is an exclusive definition for this recorder.)
