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 program 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 to stereo due to commercial breaks, etc. It is also possible to insert chapter marks at desired locations during playback. ( pg. 27) When you record a program 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 finalized, these chapter marks are deleted and new chapter marks are assigned automatically approximately every 5 minutes.

DISC INFORMATION EN 11 Placing A Disc Opening the disc tray Press x (OPEN/CLOSE) to open the disc tray. 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. Label side Do not damage the label side, stick paper to or use any adhesives on its surface. 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. 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! Maintenance of discs 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. x F-1 Pressing the button again closes the disc tray. Use the buttons 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. Discs without cartridges 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.
