This function facilitates S-VHS software playback.  The original high picture quality of S-

from the right side, etc,). With such discs, you can select the angle on Function Control
Screen to view the scene from different angles.

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