VIDEO CD

Video CDs are classified into two types, version 1.1 and 2.0. The CD/Video CD player can play both types. Video CD (version 1.1): With the same operation as compact discs, you can enjoy sounds and pictures (movies).

Video CD (version 2.0): In addition to a normal play which is the same as version 1.1, you can enjoy a Playback Control operation. (For details on Playback Control, refer to page 20.)

English

To prevent a malfunction of this system:

•Do not use any nonstandard shaped disc (heart etc.) available on the market because it might damage the system.

•Do not use a disc with tape, seals, or

paste on it. If you use such a disc, a disc may get stuck in the system, or damage to the system may result.

Notes about handling discs

•Always handle the disc with care so that its surface is not scratched.

•Discs are not subjected to wear during play, but damage to the disc surface when the disc is being handled can adversely affect the disc’s play.

•Be sure to use a felt-tip pen or similar writing tool when writing on the label side of the disc. Do not use a ball-point pen, pencil, or other hard-tipped writing tool, as these may damage the disc and may adversely affect the disc’s play.

•Do not warp discs.

•When a disc is not currently being used, remove it from the system and store in an appropriate case.

•When removing or storing a disc, be careful not to scratch the playing surface.

•Discs are not affected by small particles of dust or fingerprints on their playing surface, but even so they should be kept clean. Wipe by using a clean, dry cloth. Do not wipe with a circular motion; wipe straight outward from the center.

•Do not try to clean the disc’s surface by using any type of disc cleaner, record spray, anti-static spray or liquid, or any other chemical-based liquid because such substances might irreparably damage the disc’s surface.

•Do not expose discs to direct sunlight, high temperature or high humidity for a long period of time because these might warp or otherwise damage the disc.
