IJSTENING

We Want You Listening For A Lifetime

Used wisely, your new sound equipment will provide a lifetime of fun

and enjoyment. Since hearing damage from loud noise is often undetect- able until it is too late, this manufacturer and the Electronic Industries Association's Consumer Electronics Group recommend you avoid pro-

longed exposure to excessive noise. This list of sound levels is included for your protection.

Selecting fine audio equipment such as the unit you've just purchased Decibel

is only the start of your musical enjoyment. Now it's time to consider Level how you can maximize the fun and excitement your equipment offers. This manufacturer and the Electronic Industries Association's Consumer 30 Electronics Group want you to get the most out of your equipment by 40

playing it at a safe level. One that lets the sound come through loud and 50 clear without annoying blaring or distortion-and, most importantly, with- 60

out affecting your sensitive heating. 70

Sound can be deceiving. Over time your hearing "comfort level" adapts

to higher volumes of sound. So what sounds "normal" can actually be loud and harmful to your hearing. Guard against this by setting your

equipment at a safe level BEFORE your hearing adapts.

To establish a safe level:

• Start your ,_o\ume control at alow setting.

• Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it comfortably and clearly, and without distortion.

Once you have established a comfortable sound level:

• Set the dial and leave it there.

Taking a minute to do this now will help to prevent hearing damage or

loss in the future. After all, we want you listening for a lifetime.

Example Quiet library, soft whispers

Living room, refrigerator, bedroom away from traffic Light traffic, normal conversation, quiet office

Air conditioner at 20 feet, sewing machine Vacuum cleaner, hair dryer, noisy restaurant Average city traffic, garbage disposals, alarm clock

at two feet.

THE FOLLOWING NOISES CAN BE DANGEROUS UNDER CONSTANT EXPOSURE

90 Subway, motorcycle, truck traffic, lawn mower

100 Garbage truck, chain saw, pneumatic drill

120 Rock band concert in front of speakers, thunderclap

140 Gunshot blast, jet plane

** A Digital Audio with Multi Audio Disc (CD VIDEO LD) and a CDV

(CD Video CDV) are referred to as CD Video discs. CD Video- discs are recorded with subcodes, which are the non-audio re- cordings of TOC (Table of Contents) data such as track num- bers, index numbers, etc. However, there are some discs with- out these marks.

How to hold a disc

CD, CDV

Holding with two hands

Hold by two opposite

edges of the disc.

Holding with one

hand

Hold by hooking two

fingers across the

center hole and edge,

Do not attach paper. Do not touch the disc surfaces.

Never use a cracked or warped disc.

To avoid danger, never attempt to play a cracked or deformed disc,

or a disc which has been mended using an adhesive agent, etc. Also do not use an analog record spray or static prevention agent for these will crack the laserdisc surface.

Care of disc

To maintain high video and audio quality, clean the disc if it gets dirty clean by wiping the disc surface with a soft cloth. When wiping, be sure to move the cloth in straight directions from the center of the disc toward the outer edge. Do not wipe in a circular direction like you do with analog records.

Wipe along the radii.

• Do not use an analog record cleaner, benzine, thinner or static prevention agent.

I GLOSSARY

LD terms Chapter number

Just like the numbers assigned to chapters of a book, the

LD disc is divided into several chapters and each of them is assigned a chapter number. If the chapter numbers are

recorded on the disc, it is possible to perform operations such as the chapter search which quickly searches the de- sired chapter.

• Some LD discs do not contain recorded chapter num- bers.

Frame number

A frame number is assigned to every frame on a CAV disc.

This makes possible operations such as the frame search

which searches desired images based on their frame num- bers.

Time number

This refers to the elapsed playing time from the beginning of the disc that is recorded on CLV discs as well as on CAV

discs with a TOC*I. This allows operations such as the time number search which searches desired images based on their time numbers.

CDVICD terms Track number

The CDV or CD disc is divided into several tracks and each of them is assigned a track number. With the CDV disc, the

track numbers are recorded across the audio and video parts. This allows operations such as the track search which quickly searches the desired track.

TOC ('1)

CD and CDV discs contain non-audio information called TOC the (Table Of Contents) at the beginning of the disc. As this name implies, the TOC contains information on the number of tracks and their playing time just like the table of con-

tents of a book.

• Some LD discs are not provided with a TOC section.

• The LD with TOC and the CDV belong to the same category of "optical video disc systems with digital au- dio".

CD video system

The CD video system is the unified name given to "optical video disc systems with digital audio".

The systems belonging to this category include;

• CDV disc (CD VIDEO, CDV)

• LD with subcode and digital audio

• CD/CDV compatible player

• CD/CDV/LD compatible player
