for each of the following types of disc the
RDV-03 can play:

The RDV-03 can also play:
• DVD-R and DVD-RW discs written in the
DVD-Video format and finalized.
• CD-R and CD-RW discs written in the
SVCD, Video CD or Audio CD format
and finalized.
• CD-R and CD-RW discs written with MP3 or
WMA or JPEG files in accordance with
the "ISO 9660" format.

DVD Region Codes

DVD-Video discs are encoded with region
codes which also appear on the packag-
ing:
1
2
ALL
A disc can only be played if its region code
matches the code printed on the back-panel
of the RDV-03.
The RDV-03 can play discs encoded in either
the NTSC or PAL video formats, outputting
the correct video signal in PAL format (Euro
model) or as set by the back-panel PAL/NTSC
switch (Asia model).

Disc Structure

Each type of disc has its own organization,
allowing you to locate various portions of the
program recorded on the disc. Depending on
the type of disc, these may be called Titles,
Groups, Chapters, or Tracks:
DVD-Video:
Title 1
Chapter 1
Chapter 2
Chapter 1
A DVD-Video disc is comprised of Titles and
each Title may be divided into Chapters. For
example, a DVD-Video disc may contain sev-
eral movies, each with its own Title number,
and each movie may be divided into several
Chapters. In a DVD-Video karaoke disc, each
song usually has its own Title number and
does not have Chapters.
Audio CD:
Track 1
Track 2
An Audio CD, Video CD or SVCD simply
contains Tracks.
