Caring for the RDV-1045

Cabinet and Disc Tray Cleaning

Clean the cabinet and disc tray by gently wiping
them with a soft cloth dampened with a small
amount of a neutral detergent diluted with
water. Do not use benzene, thinner or other
organic solvents including disinfectants. These
may cause deformation or discoloring.

Condensation

In s ome situations, condensation (water
drops) can accumulate on the optical lense of
the disc reading mechanism, preventing the
RDV-1045 from working properly. This can
happen when:
• When the RDV-1045 is suddenly moved
from a cold place to a warmer place.
• When the RDV-1045 is in a cool room and
a heating system is turned on.
• When the RDV-1045 is installed in a steamy
or damp space.
In any of these cases, leave the system turned
on for 1 or 2 hours before use.
Locking the Disc Tray
You can lock the disc tray to prevent a loaded
disc from being ejected.
While the RDV-1045 is off, press and hold
the . STOP t button then press the OPEN/
CLOSE o button. “LOCKED” will appear in
the display window. Repeat the procedure to
unlock the disc tray. Then “UNLOCKED” will
appear in the display window.
Disc Structure

DVD VIDEO/DVD VR

A DVD Video disc consists of “titles” and each
title may be divided into “chapters”.
A DVD VR disc consists of “original programs”
or “play lists” and each original program/play
list may be divided into “chapters”.
.
Title 1/Original program 1/
Play list 1 Title 2/Original
program 2/Play list 2
Chapter 1 Chapter 2 Chapter 3 Chapter 1 Chapter 2

DVD AUDIO

A DVD Audio disc consists of “groups” and
each group may be divided into “tracks”.

VCD/SVCD/CD

VCD, SVCD and CD consist of “tracks”. In
general, each track has its own track number.
(On some discs, each track may also be further
divided by indexes.)
Track 1 Track 2 Track 3 T rack 4 Track 5

MP3/WMA/JPEG/ASF/

MPEG1/MPEG2 Discs

On an MP3/WMA/JPEG/ASF/MPEG1/
MPEG2 disc, each still picture (material) is
recorded as a track/file. Tracks/files are usu-
ally grouped into a folder. Folders can also
include other folders, creating hierarchical
folder layers.
Group 1 Group 2
Track 1/
File 1 Track 2/
File 2 Group 3 Group 4 Group 5
This system simplifies the hierarchical con-
struction of a disc and manages folders by
“groups”. This system can recognize up to 4
000 tracks/files in a disc. Also, the system can
recognize up to 150 tracks/files per group and
up to 99 groups in a disc. Since the system
ignores tracks/files with numbers exceeding
150 and groups with numbers exceeding 99,
these cannot be played back.
• If there is any type of files other than MP3/
WMA/JPEG/ASF/MPEG1/MPEG2 files in
a folder, those files are also counted in the
total file number.
