DISC INFORMATION (cont.)

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.
Title 1 Title 2
Chapter 1 Chapter 2Chapter 1Chapter 3Chapter 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 PBC” (
pg. 43).
Video playback is in Wide video mode (16:9) on wide televisions, but pan and scan is used on televisions with standard 4:3 aspect ratio (either the left or right side of the image is cut-out).
Marks related to audio

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.

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.
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.

NOTES:
Resume Function does not work on the Audio CD. It also may not work depending on the discs.
If you stop the playback of a disc for which an resume point has already been memorized, the memory will be updated with the new resume point.
After the unit has memorized the resume point for 30 discs, remembering a new resume point will cause the unit to delete the oldest memorized point. Stopping playback of a disc for which a resume point is already stored may change the order in which the points are stored. This may potentially change the order in which points are deleted.
When the unit memorizes a resume point for a disc, it also remembers audio language, subtitle and angle settings.

About MP3 Disc

This unit can playback CD discs recorded by the MP3 format (we refer to those discs as MP3 discs in this manual). Operations for MP3 discs are similar to those for Audio CD discs, though there are some restrictions and differences.
What is MP3?
MP3 is the abbreviation of “MPEG1 Audio Layer 3.” MPEG Audio is a compression specification that compresses the audio portion only. This image compression method is used in DVD or Video CD, etc. The audio data has been compressed into about 1/10.
On an MP3 disc, each material (song) is recorded on each Track (file), which usually belongs to a Group (folder).

Masterpage:Left+
OPERATIONS ON DVD DECK (cont.)
NOTES:
Because of the disc characteristics or recording condition, some discs may not be played back or it takes time to start playback.
The unit does not support “packet writing” discs.
If there are any Tracks (files) which are stored on a disc directly
and do not belong to any Group (directory), the unit recognized them as belonging to an independent Group.
The unit plays back Groups/Tracks on an MP3 disc in the alphabetical order.
For example, if there are three title Groups [one], [two] and [three] on a disc, the playback order is [one], [three] then [two]. Tracks in a Group are played back in the same way.
Therefore, an MP3 disc on the market may be played back in the different order from the order printed on its sleeve.

About JPEG Disc

This unit can playback CD discs recorded by the JPEG format (we refer to those discs as JPEG discs in this manual). Operations for JPEG discs are similar to those for Audio CD discs, though there are some restrictions and differences.
What is JPEG?
JPEG is the abbreviation of “Joint Photographic Expert Group.” JPEG is a still-picture data compression system.
On a JPEG disc, each still picture is recorded as a file, which usually belongs to a Group (folder).

NOTES:
We recommend to record a file at 640 x 480 resolution. (If a file has been recorded at a resolution of more than 640 x 480, it will take a longer time to be displayed.)
This unit can only play back baseline JPEG files*. Progressive JPEG files* or lossless JPEG files* cannot be played back.
* Baseline JPEG format: Used for digital cameras, web, etc.
Progressive JPEG format: Used for web. Lossless JPEG format: An old type and rarely used now.
Some files on a JPEG disc may be played back distortedly.
Because of the disc characteristics or recording condition, some discs may not be played back or it takes time to start playback.
The unit does not support “packet writing” discs.
If there are any Files which are stored on a disc directly and do not belong to any Group (directory), the unit recognized them as belonging to an independent Group.
The unit plays back Groups/Files on an JPEG disc in the alphabetical order.
For example, if there are three title Groups [one], [two] and [three] on a disc, the playback order is [one], [three] then [two]. Files in a Group are played back in the same way.
Therefore, an JPEG disc on the market may be played back in the different order from the order printed on its sleeve.

CAUTIONS:
This unit has a dynamic range of more than 80 dB with regards to its Hi-Fi audio capability. It is recommended that you check the maximum level if you are going to listen to the Hi-Fi audio signals through a stereo amplifier. A sudden surge in the input level to the speakers may damage them.
Some speakers and televisions are specially shielded to prevent television interference. If both are of the non-shielded type, do not place the speakers adjacent to the TV set as this can adversely affect the video playback picture.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

PLAYBACK

Q. What happens if the end of the tape is reached
during playback or search?
A.
The tape is automatically rewound to the beginning.
Q. During search, slow, still and frame-by-frame
playback, I can’t hear any audio. What’s the problem?
A.
This is normal.
Q. Can the unit indefinitely remain in the still
mode?
A.
No. It stops automatically after 5 minutes to protect the heads.
Q. When returning from search to normal
playback, the picture is disturbed. Should I be concerned about this?
A.
No, it is normal.
Q. Noise bar appear during search. What’s the
problem?
A.
This is normal.
Q. Sometimes, during Index Search, the unit can’t
find the program I want to see. Why not?
A.
There may be index codes too close together.

TIMER RECORDING

Q. “䡬” and “#” remain lit on the front display
panel. Is there a problem?
A.
No. This is a normal condition for a timer recording in progress.
Q. Can I program the timer while I’m watching a
tape or a TV broadcast?
A.
You won’t see the picture as it is replaced by the on-screen menu, but the audio from the program or tape you’re viewing can be heard.

RECORDING

Q. When I pause and then resume a recording, the
end of the recording before the pause is overlapped by the beginning of the continuation of recording. Why does this happen?
A.
This is normal. It reduces distortion at the pause and resume points.
Q. Can the unit indefinitely remain in the Record-
Pause mode?
A.
No. The unit goes to its Stop mode automatically after 5 minutes to protect the heads.
Q. What happens if the tape runs out during
recording?
A.
The unit stops recording, and “䡬” and “$” on the front display panel won’t stop blinking.
