Introduction
Details Regarding Discs (continued)
DVD Data Configuration
Generally speaking, the content recorded on a DVD is sepa-
rated into large units referred to as "titles". A unique number
called a "title number" is assigned to each of these titles, and
as a result, any title can be immediately accessed using its
title number. In addition, each title can be divided into smaller
units referred to as "chapters". Similarly, a unique number
called a "chapter number" is assigned to each of these chap-
ters, and this allows any chapter to be immediately accessed
using its chapter number.
Each recording made to a disc is stored as a single title. In
this, each pressing of the STOP button to leave Recording
mode constitutes a different recording. (This action is also
referred to as "title closing".) It is also possible to insert chap-
ter marks to partition titles at the desired points by pressing
the REC button while recording.
It is possible to automatically add a chapter mark when
recording is temporarily stopped by pressing the PAUSE but-
ton. (Set from the menu.) In addition, this DVD recorder can
also be used to automatically insert chapter marks at regular
intervals. (CHAPTER CREATION menu settings will be
required for this function.)

Region Codes
One of six numbers referred to as "region codes" is assigned
to DVD content to control the global regions in which this con-
tent may be viewed. If a DVD's region code does not corre-
spond to the region code of the DVD player being used, it will
not be possible to play the disc.
• This DVD recorder assigns the region code "ALL" to the
discs that it records.
• It will not be possible to play discs to which region codes
have been assigned.
Screen Sizes
This DVD recorder is capable of recording video content for
wide-screen TVs (i.e., with a 16:9 aspect ratio).
In addition, signals for normal content with a 4:3 aspect ratio,
for squeezed content (i.e., where the left and right are com-
pressed), and for letterbox content (i.e., where the top and
bottom of the screen are black) can be recorded as is.
• Thumbnail creation method for use in the title/chapter
menu during wide-signal input can be selected in THUMB-
NAIL FORM of the DVD MENU screen. (X Page 81)
