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.

When you record a programme on a DVD-RAM/RW (VR mode) disc

A single recording session results in a single title (a single chapter). However, chapter marks are automatically inserted when recording is paused, or audio changes from monaural to stereo due to commercial breaks, etc. It is also possible to insert chapter marks at desired locations during playback. (墌 pg. 27)

When you record a programme on a DVD-R/RW (Video mode) disc

A single recording session results in a single title (a single chapter). However, chapter marks are automatically inserted when recording is paused, or audio changes due to commercial breaks, etc. It is also possible to insert chapter marks at desired locations during either recording or playback. Once the disc has been finalised, these chapter marks are deleted and new chapter marks are assigned automatically approximately every 5 minutes.

File structure of the disc after starting the MP3/JPEG Navigation

Files are automatically grouped as follows and displayed on the MP3/JPEG Navigation screen. Data is displayed in the alphabetical order of file name. Files are grouped based on roots.

● This unit can recognise up to 9 hierarchies including directories and files. Also, it can recognise up to 250 files in each group, and up to 99 groups on a disc.

NOTES:

● Video CD/SVCD discs that support Playback Control (PBC)

The contents of a disc are recorded into several hierarchies, and played back according to the instructions on the screen while navigating through the hierarchies.

● Pressing the button again closes the disc tray.

● Use the buttons to open and close 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 on the disc tray.

● Do not press down strongly on the disc tray or place any heavy objects on it.

Discs without cartridges

Place the disc on 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.

DVD-RAM discs contained in cartridges

Double-sided discs:

Remove the disc from the cartridge. Align the disc with the grooves on the disc tray as shown in the illustration and insert with the side you wish to play back or record facing down. If you insert the disc with “Side A” facing down, programmes are recorded on the side A.

Single-sided discs:

Remove the disc from the cartridge. Align the disc with the grooves on the disc tray as shown in the illustration and insert 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 adhesives on its surface.

Recording side

Make sure that discs are not scratched and dirty on the recording side before use. Scratches and dirt on the recording side of a disc may hinder proper playback and recording. Also be careful that a DVD-RAM disc may get scratched or dirt when removed from cartridge then put back in after use.

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!

DISC INFORMATION

EN 9

Maintenance of discs

If there are fingerprints or other dirt adhering to a disc, wipe with a soft dry cloth, moving from the centre 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 may appear 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.

BASIC OPERATIONS ON DVD DECK

EN 27

NOTES:

● “DISC RESUME” setting works on DVD VIDEO, VCD, SVCD and already finalised DVD-R/DVD-RW (video mode) discs. For other types of discs, the function under “ON” setting will be applied even if “RESUME” is set to “DISC RESUME”. (墌 pg. 68)

● If you stop the playback of a disc for which a resume point has already been memorized, the memory will be updated with the new resume point.

● After the unit has memorized the resume points 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.

● This function may not work for some Video CD/SVCDs.

● When “RESUME” is changed to “ON” or “OFF” (墌 pg. 68), resume

points of the discs memorized with “RESUME” set to “DISC RESUME” will be cleared.

● Resume points are memorized for each side of a double-sided disc.

Marking Positions To Play Back Again Later

It is possible to mark positions (up to 999 points) where you want to play back once again later, and start playback from a marked position. Marking onto DVD-RAM/RW/R discs when recording is helpful to locate a start point when you play back the discs later.

To mark positions:

During playback, press MARK at positions you want to mark.

● Crossed “MARK” appears on the TV screen, and the marked position is deleted.

NOTES:

● When a monaural programme changes to a stereo programme while recording, a mark signal is automatically recorded.

● When a DVD-R/RW (Video mode) disc is finalised, marked points marked before finalising will be deleted, and programmes will be divided automatically into “chapters” approximately every 5 minutes. (墌 pg. 75)
