Playing back discs recorded in Video mode on
any regular DVD player:
Discs recorded in Video mode can be played back on
regular DVD players, including computer DVD drives
compatible with DVD-Video playback. You will need to
finalise the discs recorded in Video mode to play back
in other DVD players.
Although DVD+RW/+R discs are playable on other
units without finalisation in most cases, it is
recommended to finalise in order to stabilise the
performance.
*DVD-Video Format (Video mode) is a new format for
recording on DVD-RW/-R discs that was approved
by the DVD Forum in 2000. Adoption of this format is
optional for manufactures of DVD playback devices
and there are DVD-Video players, DVD-ROM drives
and other DVD playback devices available that
cannot play back DVD-RW/-R discs recorded in the
DVD-Video Format.
PDC:
This system assures that the TV programme you wish
to record using timer recording will be recorded
exactly from beginning to end even if the actual
broadcasting time differs.
Others
Progressive scan system:
Unlike conventional interlace scanning, the
progressive scan system provides less flickering and
images in higher resolution than that of traditional
television signals.
