5-2 Disc Handling and Maintenance
For Your Reference
Handling Precautions
z Hold the disc by the edges so the surface will not be soiled with fingerprints. (A)

z Do not write on the label side with a ball-point pen or other writing utensils that can leave indentations or scratch
the surface of the disc.
z Do not use record cleaning sprays, benzene, thinner, static electricity prevention liquids or any other solvent.
z Be careful not to drop or bend the disc.
z Do not install more than 1 disc on the disc tray.

z Be sure to store the disc in its exclusive case when not in use.
If the surface is soiled (B)
Wipe gently with a soft, damp (water only) cloth.
When wiping discs, always move the cloth from the center hole toward the outer edge.
(If you wipe the discs using a circular motion, circular scratches are likely to occur and may cause noise or skipping.)
(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:
z Areas exposed to direct sunlight
z Humid or dusty areas
z Areas directly exposed to a heat outlet or heating appliance
Disc which cannot be played with this player
z CD-ROM (Application Program)
z CVD
z CD-G
z DVD with a Locale No. other than that shown on the DVD unit’s Region Code Label on the rear panel
Maintenance
z Be sure to turn the unit off and disconnect the AC power cord before performing maintenance on the unit.
z Wipe this unit with a dry soft cloth. If the surfaces are extremely dirty, wipe clean with a cloth which has been

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.
