appliance, and if its appearance indicates damage or
deterioration, unplug it, discontinue use of the appliance,
and have the cord replaced with an exact replacement
part by an authorized servicer.
Protect the power cord from physical or mechanical
abuse, such as being twisted, kinked, pinched, closed in
a door, or walked upon. Pay particular attention to plugs,
wall outlets, and the point where the cord exits the appliance.

Disc-related terms
JPEG
Joint Pictures Expert Group. JPEG is a compressed file format that allows you to save images
with no limit on the number of colors.
Title (DVD only)
A title is generally a distinct section of a DVD disc.
For example the main feature could be title 1, a
documentary describing how the film was made
could be title 2, and cast interviews could be title
3. Each title is assigned a reference number
enabling you to locate it easily.
Chapter (DVD only)
A chapter is a segment of a title such as a scene
in a film or one interview in a series. Each chapter
is assigned a chapter number, enabling you to
locate the chapter you want. Depending on the
disc, chapters may not be recorded.
Track
A distinct element of audio/visual information,
such as the picture or sound track for a specific
language (DVD), or a musical piece on a video or
audio CD. Each track is assigned a track number,
enabling you to locate the track you want. DVD
discs allow one track of video (with multiple
angles) and several tracks of audio.
Types of Video CDs
There are two types of Video CDs:
• Video CDs equipped with PBC (Version 2.0)
PBC (playback control) functions allow you to
interact with the system via menus, search
functions, or other typical computer-like operations. Moreover, still pictures of high resolution
can be played if they are included in the disc.
• Video CDs not equipped with PBC
(Version 1.1)
Operated in the same way as Audio CDs,
these discs allow playback of video pictures as
well as sound, but they are not equipped with
PBC.
