Introduction
English
(For DVD AUDIO)
A DVD AUDIO disc is comprised of “groups,” and each
group is comprised of “tracks.” Some DVD AUDIO discs
also contain a “bonus group” that can be played back by
entering the “key number” (a kind of password). Usually
the contents of a “bonus group” are not opened to the
public. Note that most DVD AUDIO discs include other
information in addition to audio, such as still pictures,
movies and text.
(For DVD VIDEO)
A DVD VIDEO disc is comprised of “titles” and each title
may be divided into some “chapters.” For example, if a
DVD VIDEO disc contains some movies, each movie may
have its own title number, and each movie may be
divided into some chapters. In a DVD VIDEO KARAOKE
disc, each song usually has its own title number and
does not have chapters.
(For SVCD/Video CD/Audio CD)
An SVCD, Video CD or Audio CD is simply comprised of
“tracks.”
What is Playback Control (PBC) function?
The Playback Control function, allows you to enjoy
menu-driven operation and high-resolution still images
which have a resolution four times greater than moving
pictures.
• High-resolution still image display
You can display high-quality images four times
clearer than moving pictures.
• Menu-driven playback
A selection menu is displayed when you start
playing an SVCD and Video CD disc with the
Playback Control feature. The selection menu
shows a list of numbers for selection. Some discs
may show moving pictures or a divided screen.
You can interact with the screen using a menu
display to select and play an entry.
See example illustration below about basic feature
of menu-driven playback (for details about PBC, see
also page 26).
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 player to malfunction.
Label side
Do not damage the label side, stick paper to or use any
adhesive on its surface.
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 center
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.
