About Disc Contents

BD Video

Enjoy Final Standard Profile functions (Page 25), such as picture-

•
in-picture.
The available functions differ depending on the disc.
This is a new function of BD-Video that plays the primary video
and secondary video simultaneously.
For instance, the function is capable of playing the original movie
as the primary video while playing video commentary from the film
director on a small screen as a secondary video.

Title, Chapter and Track

Blu-ray discs and DVDs are divided into “Titles” and “Chapters”.

•
If the disc has more than one movie on it, each movie would be a
separate “Title”. “Chapters”, on the other hand, are subdivisions of
titles. (See Example 1.)
Audio CDs are divided into “Tracks”. You can think of a “Track” as

•
one tune on an Audio CD. (See Example 2.)

them to strong vibrations or
impacts.

Avoid storing discs in locations
where there are large amounts of
dust or moisture.

Handling Precautions

If the surface is soiled, wipe gently with a soft, damp (water only)

•
cloth. When wiping discs, always move the cloth from the center
hole toward the outer edge.
