DVD features
You can recognise a DVD by the logo on the
label.
Depending on the content of the DVD, the
discs contain one or more titles.
Each title may contain one or more chapters.
Titles and chapters can be selected easily and
conveniently.
You can control the direct playback of a DVD
using the menu of the
DVD player on the television screen.
Special DVD features
DVDs have a title menu which provides an
overview of the available titles and the
passages they contain.
Some of the DVD player’s functions, such as
slow motion, freezeframe and auto-play, can
also be controlled by the DVD itself. It is
therefore possible that the freeze-frame
function, for example, cannot
be selected during certain scenes.
Many DVDs have audio tracks recorded in up
to eight languages. This enables you to select
the language you prefer.
Many DVDs are recorded by the manufacturer
with subtitles in several languages. You can
select subtitles from up to 32 different
languages.
Since films are released in different parts of
the world at different times, all DVD players
world-wide are given a regional code. The
regional code for your DVD player is 2.
DVDs may also be given a supplementary
regional code. If you insert a DVD with a code
different to that of the DVD player, a reference
to the regional code appears on the television
screen.
The DVD player will not be able to play back
the DVD.
S-VCD/VCD features
You can recognise S-VCD/VCDs (video Discs)
by the logo on the label.
Depending on the contents of the S-VCD/VCD
(films, music videos
etc.), the discs may carry one or more tracks.
Like audio Discs, S-VCDs/VCDs have a track
structure.
S-VCDs/VCDs can be created using the PBC
(playback control) system
for track navigation. This depends on the
processing and burning software used.
You can control the direct playback of the S-
VCD/VCD using the menu on the television
screen.
You cannot select some of the functions (slow
motion, camera angle, marking scenes) when
you are playing an S-VCD/VCD. This depends
on how the S-VCD/VCD was created.
Depending on how they were created, S-VCDs
can have various
subtitles and dubbed languages.
