Region Number

The world is divided into 6 regions for DVD VIDEO discs. DVD VIDEO discs are assigned a region number to indicate which region they may be played back in.

DVD VIDEO Marks

Sometimes marks are printed on a DVD disc and/or on its packaging to indicate information regarding the contents and functions of a disc. Check marks indicating the contents and functions of a disc. Note, however, that in some cases a disc may not include a mark even for a function it supports.

Marks related to video

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.

Title1 Title2

Chapter 1

Chapter 2

Chapter 1Chapter 3

Chapter 2

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.

Track 1 Track 4Track 3Track 2

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 the Video CD with Playback Control (PBC) Function” (

墌 pg. 34).

Placing a Disc

1 Open the disc tray.

Press x on the DVD deck to open the disc tray.

● The unit’s power comes on automatically.

● 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.

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 antistatic 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.

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.

3 Press x on the DVD deck to close the disc tray.

● Pressing 4 also closes the disc tray.

● Playback begins automatically if an auto-playback DVD disc is

loaded. Although the VHS deck is selected, the DVD deck is selected automatically (except when the VHS deck is in the timer mode or the Automatic Satellite Programme Recording mode.)
