“MPEG2”, one of the world standards of digital compression technologies. The
picture data is compressed by 1 /40 on average and stored. Variable rate
encoding technology in which the volume of data assigned to the picture is
changed depending on the picture format has also been adopted. Audio data is
stored using PCM and Dolby digital, which enables higher quality of sound. Fur-
thermore, multi-angle and multi-language features will also help you enjoy the
more advanced technology of DVD video.
●Viewer restrictions
This feature limits what can be viewed in conformity with the level of restrictions
of the country. The level of restrictions varies depending on the DVD video disc.
Some DVD video discs cannot be played at all, or violent scenes are skipped or
replaced with other scenes.
Level 1: DVD video discs for children can be played.
Level 2-7: DVD video discs for children and G-rated movies can be played.
Level 8: All types of DVD video discs can be played.
●Multi-angle option
You can enjoy the same scene from different angles.
●Multi-language option
You can select the subtitle and audio languages.
●Region codes
The region codes are found on DVD players and DVD discs. If a DVD video
disc does not have the same region code as the DVD player, you cannot play
the disc on that DVD player. (→P. 2 9 8 )

process that allows discs to be played on a conventional CD player) cannot be

recorder or a personal computer because of disc characteristics, scratches or
dirt on the disc, or dirt, condensation, etc. on the lens of the unit.

ing on the application settings and the environment. Record with the correct
format. (For details, contact the appropriate application manufacturers of the

CAUTION
■DVD video precaution
Conversational speech on some DVDs is recorded at a low volume to emphasize
the impact of sound effects. If you adjust the volume assuming that the conversa-
tions represent the maximum volume level that the DVD will play, you may be star-
tled by louder sound effects or when you change to a different audio source.
Loud sounds may have a significant impact on the human body or pose a driving
hazard. Keep this in mind when you adjust the volume.
