Defi nition of Terms

Angle

Recorded onto some DVD discs are scenes, which
have been simultaneously shot from a number of
different angles (the same scene is shot from the
front, from the left side, from the right side, etc.). With
such discs, the ANGLE button can be used to view
the scene from different angles.

Chapter Number

These numbers are recorded on DVD discs. A title
is subdivided into many sections, each of which are
numbered, and specifi c parts of video presentations
can be searched quickly using these numbers.

DVD

This refers to a high-density optical disc on which
high-quality pictures and sound have been recorded
by means of digital signals. Incorporating a new video
compression technology (MPEG2) and high-density
recording technology. DVD enables aesthetically
pleasing full-motion video to be recorded over long
periods of time (for instance, a whole movie can be
recorded).
DVD has a structure consisting of two 0.6-mm thin
discs, which are adhered to each other. Since the
thinner the disc, the higher the density at which the
information can be recorded, a DVD disc has a greater
capacity than a single 1.2 mm thick disc. Since the
two thin discs are adhered to each other, there is the
potential to achieve double-sided play sometime in
the future for even longer duration play.

Subtitles

These are printed lines appearing at the bottom of
the screen, which translate or transcribe the dialogue.
They are recorded on the DVD discs.

Time Number

This indicates the playtime, which has elapsed from
the start of a disc or a title. It can be used to fi nd a
specifi c scene quickly. (Not all discs permit the time
search feature to be used. Availability is determined
by the disc’s manufacturer.)

Title Number

These numbers are recorded on DVD discs. When a
disc contains two or more movies, these movies are
numbered as title 1, title 2, etc.

Track Number

These numbers are assigned to the tracks, which are
recorded on Audio CDs. They enable specifi c tracks
to be located quickly.

LPCM

LPCM stands for Linear Pulse Code Modulation and
is digital audio.

MPEG

Short for Moving Picture Experts Group. This is an
international standard for compression of moving
images. On some DVDs digital audio has been
compressed and recorded in this format.

DivX

®

DivX

®

is a digital video compression technology based

on MPEG4 and developed by DivX, Inc.
