What is a DVD?  
DVD (Digital Versatile Disc) is a storage medium  
that combines the convenience of the compact disc  
with the latest digital video technology. DVD video  
uses modern MPEG2 data compression technology  
that enables an entire feature film to be stored on a  
single five inch disc.

Compatibility with other Players  
How good is the resolution of DVD compared with  
VHS?  
All discs compatible after  
finalising  
The razor-sharp digital images have more than 500  
lines of resolution at 720 pixels per line. This is  
more than twice as high as VHS and even better  
than laser disc quality. DVD picture quality is easily  
comparable to the digital masters produced in  
recording studios.

supports dual mediarecording allowing DVD+RW  
format recording (+VR) on either DVD-R, DVD-RW,

What is a DVD+RW?  
DVD+ReWritable uses phase changemedia, the  
same technology on which rewritable CDs are based.

reflective properties of the recording layer; this  
process can be repeated more than a thousand times.

platform and should be capable of playing it back on  
the majority of DVD players on the market.  
Unlike a DVD+RW disc, a DVD+R (write-once DVD)  
can only be written to once. If it is not finalised  
after a recording, further recordings can be added to  
it. Old recordings can be deleted but they can no  
longer be overwritten. The deleted recordings  
(titles) are marked 'deleted title'.  
Disc-related Terms  
Title (DVD only)  
The main film, accompanying feature content, or  
music album. Each title is assigned a title reference  
number enabling you to locate it easily.  
Before a DVD+R can be played in a DVD player, it  
must be finalised in the DVB-T VCR/DVD Recorder.  
Once this process is complete, no further recordings  
can be added.  
Chapter (DVD only)  
Sections of a movie or a musical piece that are  
smaller than titles. A title is composed of one or  
several chapters. Each chapter is assigned a  
number to enable you to easily locate the chapter  
you want. Depending on the disc, chapters may not  
be labeled.
