GENERAL INFORMATION
About DVD
DVD – Digital Versatile Disk– is a digital medium that
saves information. DVDs are marked with one of the
following symbols.
There are different types of DVD with different memory
capacities depending on how the information is stored.
DVD structure
Video DVDs are divided into titles and chapters. A DVD
can have several titles, which may in turn be made up
of several chapters. The titles and chapters are each
numbered sequentially:
The first title of a DVD usually comprises licence
instructions and manufacturer's information. The next
title is usually the film itself. Other titles may include
such items as "making of" documentaries, trailers or
information on the actors.
Languages and sub-
titles
Up to eight languages and sub-titles in up to 32
languages can be stored on DVDs. The languages and
sub-titles can be played in any combination.
PerspectiveIn many DVDs it is even possible to change the camera
angle if the film was recorded from different camera
positions.

GENERAL INFORMATION
8
Regional codes
As a result of the global sales strategy a code has been
developed for DVDs that allows the recording only to
be played on devices bought in certain regions.
This code is based on a system that divides the
world into six regions. U.K. is in Zone 2 so
your DVD player will only play DVDs that have
the regional code 2. The regional code is
printed on the DVD packaging (refer to the following
logo).
Apart from DVDs with the regional code 4 the device
will only play DVDs with the regional code 0 (suitable
for any DVD player).
If you find problems when playing certain DVDs
make sure that the DVD has the regional code 4 or
0.
Other playable formats
MP3
The MP3 format is a Windows compression format for
audio data. MP3 files have to be saved with the file
extension *.mp3 so that they can be recognised.
In contrast to traditional audio CDs, MP3 CDs can be
sub-divided into directories (folders, albums) and files
(tracks, titles) – just like a data CD for your computer.

GENERAL INFORMATION
Available surround sound formats
The device can read two surround sound formats.
Dolby Digital 5.1
In Dolby Digital sound format the audio material is
saved digitally. To do this up to five separate full
frequency audio channels (front left and right, centre,
rear left and right) and an effect or depth channel (5.1)
are saved separately. Sound media with the Dolby
Digital format are shown by these trademarks.
Because each channel is completely independent a
realistic sound is created with a "three-dimensional"
listening sensation whereby the sound is given
distance, movement and a relative position in the room.
Your device can read this audio data and sends it to the
digital outputs (SPDIF) for decoding.
dts (Digital Theatre Systems)
The dts abbreviation is used for a less frequently used
sound format in which up to 6 (5.1) separate channels
are saved to a sound medium. Sound media with the
dts format are shown by these trademarks.
Your device can read this audio data and sends it to the
digital outputs (SPDIF) for decoding.
