Introduction

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.

The razor-sharp digital images have a resolution of more than 500 lines of 720 pixels 
per line. This is more than twice as high as VHS and is even better than the laser disc. Its 
picture quality is easily comparable to the digital masters produced in recording studios.

DVD+ReWritable uses phase change media, the same technology on which rewritable 
CDs are based. A high-performance laser is used to change the reflective properties of 
the recording layer; this process can be repeated more than a thousand times.

DVD+R (write-once DVD). Unlike a DVD+RW disc, this disc can only be written once. 
If it is not finalized after a recording, further recordings can be added to it. Old record-
ings can be deleted but can no longer be overwritten. The deleted titles are marked 
“Deleted title”.
Before this disc can be played in a DVD player, it must be finalised in the DVD recorder. 
Once this process is complete, no further recordings can be added.

Your DVD recorder is a machine for recording and playing back digital video discs with 
“two-way” compatibility with the universal DVD video standard. This means:
•) existing DVD video discs can be played on the recorder.
•) Recordings made on your DVD recorder can be played on other DVD video players 

and DVD ROM drives.
