DVDVIDEO SVCD

VIDEO

The DVD VIDEO Logo is a trademark. CD-R and CD-RW discs recorded with SVCD, Video CD, Audio CD or MP3 format can be played back, though some may

not be played back because of the disc characteristics or recording condition. DVD VIDEO players and DVD discs have their own Region Code numbers. This unit only can play back DVD VIDEO

discs whose Region Code numbers include "1." Examples of playable DVD VIDEO discs:

This unit accommodates the NTSC television system and can playback discs recorded with the NTSC system. Note that the unit cannot playback the disc recorded with the PAL system.

• Playing back discs listed as "Non-playable discs" above may generate noise and damage speakers.

• This unit can play back audio recorded in CD-G, CD-EXTRA and CD-TEXT discs.

A DVD VIDEO disc is comprised of "titles," while an Audio CD, Video CD or SVCD is comprised of "tracks". Each title may

be divided into some "chapters". For example, if a DVD VIDEO disc contains some movies, each movie may have its own

title number, and each movie may be divided into some chapters. In a DVD VIDEO karaoke disc, each song usually has its

own title number and does not have chapters. In general, each title has independent content, while each chapter in the

same title has continuity.

For the MP3 CD disc structure, see page 41.
