Terminology

About the DVD-Player

With this DVD 4514 you can play a vast variety of DVD-formats
Page 50, "Technical data".
However, you must be aware that in many cases DVDs are
encrypted with a so-called "Regional Code". This specifies for which
region in the world the DVD is intended. As an example, the DVDs
marked with regional code "1" are intended for the USA and Canada.
DVDs with regional code "2" are for use in Europe.
NOTE:
With your DVD-Player you can only play DVDs with regional code
"2".
There are both lots of burning and compressing methods as well
as high quality differences in (burned) CDs/DVDs. Moreover, the
music industry has not yet agreed on a fixed standard for copy
protection. This may, in very isolated cases, result in problems
when relaying CDs, DVDs and MP3 CDs. This is no malfunction
of the player.
Furthermore, there may be isolated problems when playing CDs or
DVDs which were created on a PC (e.g. holiday photographs). In
case of problems check the settings of the DVD writing program on
your computer. You should in particular make sure that the DVD has
been finalized. For further information on this matter please refer to
the operating manual of your recorder.
CDs and DVDs are highly sensitive media. Please observe the
following points in order to avoid damage or contamination.
Hold CDs or DVDs only by their edges.
Do not expose CDs or DVDs to heat sources (e.g. direct
sunlight).
Keep CDs or DVDs always in their jewel cases.
If necessary clean CDs or DVDs with a soft cleaning cloth. Wipe
from inside to outside. Do not use any detergents or solvents.
If you want to write on DVDs: use only a suitable pen. Write only
on the upper side!
Track: "Track" is the designation for sections on an Audio-CD.
This may be a song, the set of a symphony, etc.
Title/Chapter: Video-DVDs are divided into "Title" and
"Chapters". A "Title" may be e.g. a particular film, the "Chapters"
may be subsections of this film.
MPEG-4: Your DVD-Player is still capable of playing files
compressed in MPEG-4 (short for Moving Picture Experts
Group-4). MPEG-4 is a compression method able to reduce high
amounts of data without a noticeable loss in the quality of
pictures and sound.
