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
Mark Description
Number of subtitles
Number of angles
Recorded under the standard 4:3 aspect ratio
Screen includes black bands at top and bottom of image which has a standard 4:3 aspect ratio (letter box)
Video playback is in Wide video mode (16:9) on wide televisions, but in letter box on televisions with standard 4:3 aspect ratio.

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
Mark Description
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 5.1­channel audio (front left and right, center, rear left and right, and a channel for LFE (Low-Frequency Effects)).

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.
