1. Introduction Common questions What is a DVD? DVD (Digital Versatile Disc) is a new storage medium that combines the convenience of the compact disc with the latest digital video technology. DVD video uses modern MPEG2 data compression technology that enables an entire feature film to be stored on a single five inch disc. How good is the resolution of DVD compared with VHS? The razor-sharp digital images have a resolution of more than 500 lines of 720 pixels per line.
English Discs you can use The following discs can be used in your DVD recorder for playback and recording: Playback and recording DVD+RW (Digital Versatile Disc + rewritable) DVD+R (Digital Versatile Disc + Recordable) Playback only: DVD Video (Digital Versatile Disc) DVD-R (DVD-Recordable) DVD-RW (DVD-Rewritable) These discs can only be played back if the recording was made in video mode and the recording was finalised.
Regional code Because DVD films are usually not released at the same time in all regions of the world, all DVD players are keyed to a specific region code. Discs can be assigned an optional region code. If the region codes of the player and disc do not coincide, playback is not possible. ALL 1 This device will only play Region 1 DVDs or DVDs manufactured to be played in all regions (“ALL”). DVDs from other regions cannot be played in this DVD Recorder.
