Definition of terms

Angle

Recorded onto some DVD discs are scenes, which have
been simultaneously shot from a number of different angles
(the same scene is shot from the front, from the left side,
from the right side, etc.). With such discs, the ANGLE button
can be used to view the scene from different angles.

Chapter Number

These numbers are recorded on DVD discs. A title
is subdivided into many sections, each of which are
numberd,and specific parts of video persentations can be
searched quickly using these numbers.

Chapter Number

This refers to a high-density optical disc on which
highquality pictures and sound have been recordedm
by means of digital signals. Incorporating a new video
compression technology (MPEG II) and high-density
recording technology. DVD discs enables aesthetically
pleasing fullmotion video to be recorded over long period
of time (for instance, a whole movie can be recorded).

DVD discs have a structure consisting of two 0.6mm thin
discs, which are adhered to each other. Since the thinner
the disc, the higher the density at which the information
can be recorded, a DVD disc has a greater capacity than
a single 1.2mm thick disc. Since the two thin discs are
adhered to each other, there is the potential to achieve
doule-sided play sometime in the future for even longer
duration play.

Subtitles

These are lines of text appearing at the bottom of the
screen, which translate or transcribe the dialogue.

They are recorded on the DVD discs.

Time Number

This indicates the playtime, which has elapsed from the
start of a disc or a titile. It can be used to find a specific
feature to be used. Availability is determined by the disc’s
manufacturer.)

Title Number

These numbers are recorded on DVD discs. When a disc
contains two or more movies, these movies are numbered
as title 1, title 2, etc.

Track Number

These numbers are assigned to the tracks, which are
recorded on Audio CDs. They enable specific tracks to
be located quickly.

LPCM

LPCM stands for Pulse Code Modulation and is digital
audio.

MPEG

Short for Moving Picture Experts Group. This is an
international standard for compression of moving images.
On some DVDs digital audio has been compressed and
recorded in this format.
