File Structure of Discs
DVD 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.
Audio CD/Video CD
Typically, Audio CD discs are divided into separate tracks each
containing one song. Each track is assigned a number. For
example, the third track is Track 3. The same is true for Video
CD discs.
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.
For more details, refer to “Locating a desired scene using the
menu of a Video CD with PBC” (
墌 pg. 31).
Placing a Disc
1 Open the disc tray.
Press x on the DVD deck to open the disc tray.
● Pressing the button again closes
the disc tray.
● Do not block the disc tray with
your hand while it is opening or
closing as this may result in
hardware failure.
● Do not place unplayable discs or
any object other than a disc in
the disc tray.
● Do not press down strongly on the disc tray or place any heavy
objects on it.
2 Place the disc.
Place the disc in the disc tray with
the label side facing up.
● Since disc size changes depending on
the disc to be played back, be sure to
correctly align the disc with the
grooves for its size. If the disc is not in
its groove, it may be scratched or
otherwise damaged.
● To insert an 8 cm disc, place it according to the inner groove.
Care and Handling of Discs
How 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.
Number of audio tracks
Dolby Digital mark
Dolby Laboratories has developed a digital
surround system for the home. This mark
indicates that you may enjoy 5.1-channel
audio (front left and right, center, rear left and
right, and a channel for LFE (Low-Frequency
Effects)).
DTS (Digital Theater System)
You can enjoy DTS audio if you connect an
amplifier with a built-in DTS decoder to the
DIGITAL AUDIO OUT connector of the unit.

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.
