Chapter (page 19)

Sections of a movie or a music piece on a DVD that are smaller than titles. A title is composed of several chapters. Each chapter is assigned a chapter number enabling you to locate the chapter you want.

Dolby Digital (page 7, 24)

Digital audio compression technology developed by Dolby Laboratories. This technology conforms to 5.1-channel surround sound. The rear channel is stereo and there is a discrete subwoofer channel in this format. Dolby Digital provides the same 5.1 discrete channels of high quality digital audio found in Dolby Digital cinema audio systems. Good channel separation is realized because all of the channel data is recorded discretely and processed in digital.

Digital audio compression technology that Digital Theater Systems, Inc. developed. This

•VR (Video Recording) mode - enables various programming and editing functions, some of which are not available in Video mode.

Film based material is recorded at 24 video images per second, and is used for most movies. Some DVDs contain both video based and film based material.

technology conforms to 5.1-channel surround sound. The rear channel is stereo and there is a discrete subwoofer channel in this format. DTS provides the same 5.1 discrete channels of high quality digital audio. Good channel separation is realized because all of the channel data is recorded discretely and processed in digital.

DVD-VIDEO (page 3, 15)

DVD VIDEO discs can contain up to 8 hours of moving pictures on a disc with the same diameter as a CD. The picture data uses the MPEG 2 format, one of the worldwide standards of digital compression technology. Audio data is recorded in a multi-channel format allowing you to enjoy a more real audio presence. DVD VIDEO discs also can contain advanced functions such as multiple viewing angles, multilingual tracks and Parental Control playback restrictions.

DVD-RW

DVD-RW is a recordable and rewritable disc that is the same size as a DVD VIDEO disc. DVD-RW discs have two modes: VR mode and Video mode.

•Video mode - complies with DVD-VIDEO format and is compatible with most DVD players once finalized, whereas a DVD-RW recorded in VR mode can only be played on DVD-RW compliant DVD players.

ISO/IEO.Parental Control (page 23)

A function of the DVD used to restrict playback of the disc according to the age of the user and the restriction level in each country. The restriction varies from disc to disc; when it is activated, playback can be completely prohibited, violent scenes are skipped or replaced with other scenes, and so on.

Progressive scan

Compared to standard interlace mode that alternatively shows every other line of an image to create one frame, progressive scan shows the entire image at once as a single frame. This means that while interlace mode can show 30 frames per second, progressive scan can show 60. The overall picture quality increases and still images, text and horizontal lines appear sharper.

Title (page 19)

The longest section of a movie or a music piece on a DVD; a movie, etc., for a picture piece on video software; or an album, etc., for a music piece on audio software. Each title is assigned a title number enabling you to locate the title you want.
