File Structure of DiscsDVD VIDEO

Typically, DVD VIDEO discs are made up of larger units called “titles.” Each title has a number (title number) that can be used to select desired titles. Titles are further divided into units called “chapters.” Each chapter has a number (chapter number) that can also be used to select desired chapters. Note that some discs are not divided into titles and chapters.

NOTE:Video CD discs that support Playback Control (PBC)

The still image or motion image which follows a menu screen is called a “scene.” Each scene has a scene number.

Care and Handling of DiscsHow to handle discs When handling a disc, do not

touch the surface of the disc. Since discs are made of plastic, they are easily damaged. If a disc gets dirty, dusty, scratched or warped, the images and sound will not

be picked up correctly, and such a disc may cause the unit to malfunction.Label side

Do not damage the label side, stick paper to or use any adhesive on its surface.

Storage

Make sure that discs are kept in their cases. If discs are piled on top of one another without their protective cases, they can be damaged. Do not put discs in a location where they may be exposed to direct sunlight, or in a place where the humidity or temperature is high. Avoid leaving discs in your car!

Maintenance of discs

If there are fingerprints or other dirt adhering to a disc, wipe with a soft dry cloth, moving from the center outwards.

If a disc is difficult to clean, wipe with a cloth moistened with water. Never use record cleaners, petrol, alcohol or any anti- static agents.

CAUTION

Sometimes during playback, noise or images may be garbled. This is sometimes due to the disc. (It may not be up to industry standards.)

These symptoms are caused by the discs, not by the malfunction of the unit.
