functions of a disc. Check marks indicating the contents and
functions of a disc. Note, however, that in some cases a disc may
not include a mark even for a function it supports.

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.
Audio CD/Video CD
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
discs.
NOTE:

The still image or motion image which follows a menu screen is
called a “scene”. Each scene has a scene number.
For more details, refer to “Locating a desired scene using the
