1.3 DVD Features

DVD discs offer many advantages over VHS tapes and VCD video discs, which
include:

Parental control: Discs with parental control can be restricted so that discs
that are only suitable for the viewers can be viewed (Please note: D

VD disc
must have parental ratings recorded onto the disc for this to work).
Multi-Language support: DVD discs may have recorded on them upto:

8 different audio languages
8 different subtitle languages
6 different OSD (on screen display) languages

Multiple

angles for the same scene: Some DVD discs are recorded with
scenes that are recorded from multiple angles. On these discs the user can
press a button to cycle through the available angles. (Please note: This is
disc dependant, not all DVD discs utilise th

is feature).

1.4 DVD region code

DVD players and discs are designed with region numbers, which dictate the
region that the player is designed for use in. If the region number of the disc does
not match that of the player the disc will not play. The region

number for this DVD

MICRO system is 2.

1.5 Glossary of Disc Terms

Title (DVD)

The longest sections of a picture or a music piece on a DVD. For example on a
movie DVD, the main feature movie would be one title. Each title recorded onto a
disc is given a

number to allow easy access. Often titles are divided into chapters

(see below).

1. Introduction

3

Chapter (DVD)

A chapter is normally a section of a title. For example, on a movie DVD the main
feature may be recorded as a TITLE and this title may be split into several sma

ller
sections called CHAPTERS to allow easy navigation to a particular point of a
movie. On some DVD discs there may be no chapters recorded.

Track (Video or audio CD)
Video or audio CDs are split into individual sections each called a track. Each
track i

s given a number, which allows easy access to a specific track.

1.6 Notes on discs

If there is glue

(or a similar substance) on the disc, remove the glue completely

before using the disc.

Do not expose the disc to direct sunlight or sources such as hot air ducts or

leave it is a car parked in direct sunlight, as there can be considerable rise in

After playing store the disc in its case.
Do not write on the label side with a ballpoint pen or other writing utensils.
Be careful not to drop or bend the disc

Disc cleaning precautions

Before playing, clean the disc with a cleaning
