Setting CLOSE to ON will blank the JD-VD755’s LCD. This is useful when you wish to experience the unit’s
playback on an external TV or LCD panel, without having the player’s own LCD panel turned on. Note that
when using CLOSE for this purpose, the player’s Volume control should be turned to its minimum setting,
since the audio will be heard on the external device.

(If you wipe the discs using a circular motion, circular scratches are likely to occur, which will cause noise.)

(A) (B)

If the disc is brought from a cold to a warm environment, moisture may form on the disc

Wipe this moisture off with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth before using the disc.

Improper disc storage

You can damage discs if you store them in the following places:

 Areas exposed to direct sunlight
 Humid or dusty areas
 Areas directly exposed to a heat outlet or heating appliance

Disc which cannot be played with this player

 CD-ROM (Application Program)
 CVD

5-3 Definition of Terms

Angle

Recorded onto some DVD discs are scenes which have been simultaneously shot from a number of different
angles (the same scene is shot from the front, from the left side, from the right side, etc.). With such discs, the
ANGLE button can be used to view the scene from different angles.

Chapter Number

These numbers are recorded on DVD discs. A title is subdivided into many sections, each of which is
numbered, and specific parts of video presentations can be searched quickly using these numbers.

DVD

These refer to a high-density optical disc on which high-quality pictures and sound have been recorded by
means of digital signals. Incorporating a new video compression technology (MPEG II) and high-density
recording technology, DVD enables aesthetically pleasing full-motion video to be recorded over long periods
of time (for instance, a whole movie can be recorded).
DVD has a structure consisting of two 0.6 mm thin discs which are adhered to each other. Since the thinner
the disc, the higher the density at which the information can be recorded, a DVD disc has a greater capacity
than a single 1.2 mm thick disc. Since the two thin discs are adhered to each other, there is the potential to
achieve double-sided play sometime in the future for even longer duration play.

Subtitles

These are the printed lines appearing at the bottom of the screen which translate or transcribe the dialogue.
They are recorded on DVD discs.

Time Digit

This indicates the play time which has elapsed from the start of a disc or a title. It can be used to find a specific
scene quickly. (It may not work with some discs.)

Title Number

These numbers are recorded on DVD discs. When a disc contains two or more movies, these movies are
numbered as title 1, title 2, etc.

Track Number

These numbers are assigned to the tracks which are recorded on audio CDs. They enable specific tracks to
be located quickly.
