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 or bilingual to stereo due to commercial breaks, etc. It is also possible to insert chapter marks at desired locations during playback. ( pg. 34) 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. DVD-RAM, DVD-RW, DVD-R or DVD VIDEO disc Title 1 Chapter 1 Chapter 2 Chapter 3 DVD-RW (VR mode) Recording and erasing can be performed as many times as possible on a disc. Editing can be performed after recording, such as deleting unwanted parts. DVD-RW (Video mode) Can be played back on other DVD players. New recording can be performed by erasing all the data on a disc once played back. DVD-R Can be played back on other DVD players. Suitable when keeping a recorded disc for a long time. Title 2 Chapter 1 Chapter 2 Chapter 3 In Video mode, even before finalising, it is impossible to perform editing operations other than changing the disc name and/or title names and deleting programmes and/or titles. After finalising, it is impossible to perform editing operations. Audio CD/Video CD/SVCD Typically, Audio CD discs are divided into separate tracks each containing one song. Each track is assigned a number. For example, the third track is Track 3. The same is true for Video CD/SVCD discs. However, some discs are not divided into tracks. S Track 1 Audio CD or Video CD/SVCD Track 2 Track 3 Track 4 9 JPEG/MP3 Disc (CD-R/RW/ROM) MP3/JPEG files put in directories nested in several levels on a disc will be organized as if they were put in single level directories (groups) by the MP3/JPEG Navigation of this unit. ( pg. 78) File structure of a disc before starting the MP3/JPEG Navigation DVD VIDEO Marks Sometimes marks are printed on a DVD disc and/or on its packaging to indicate information regarding the contents and functions of the disc. Check the marks indicating the contents and functions of the disc. Note, however, that in some cases a disc may not include a mark even for a function it supports. Marks related to video Mark Description Number of subtitles Directory MP3 file JPEG file 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.

DISC INFORMATION (cont.) 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. REC MODE LIVE CHECK OPEN/ SET UP DISPLAY ON SCREEN CLOSE SAT# REC MODE VIDEO AUDIO SUBTITLE ANGLE PULL - OPEN PROGRESSIVE SCAN Label side Do not damage the label side, stick paper to or use any adhesives on its surface. F1 S-VIDEO VIDEO L(MONO)-AUDIO-R DV DV IN Unit Remote control 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. Pressing the button on the unit or on the remote control again closes the disc tray. Use the buttons on the unit or on the remote control 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. 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! Discs without cartridges Maintenance of discs REC MODE PULL - OPEN 1 STANDB Y/ON Disc tray 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. 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. DVD-RAM discs contained in cartridges Double-sided discs: Align the cartridge with the grooves on the disc tray as shown in the illustration and insert with the label side you wish to play back or record facing up. If you insert the disc with label "Side A" facing up, programs are recorded on the side A.
