Disc Types

[ DVD-Audio ]
DVD-Audio discs are divided into several large sections called
"groups" and smaller sections called "tracks." Numbers are
allotted to these sections. These numbers are called "group
numbers" and "track numbers."
Example
Group 1
Track 1 Track 2 Track 3
[ DVD-Video ]
Data on a DVD is divided into sections called "titles," and
then into subsections called "chapters", each of which is
given a title or chapter number. Playback conditions are pre-
set on some DVD-Video discs, and these playback
conditions take priority over user operations on this player. If
a function you selected does not operate as desired, refer to
the instructions accompanying the disc.
Example
Title 1
Chapter 1 Chapter 2 Chapter 3 Chapter 4
[ AUDIO CD, Video CD, SUPER AUDIO CD ]
Data on an audio CD, video CD or Super Audio CD is
divided into sections called "tracks," each of which is given a
track number.
Example
Track 1 Track 2 Track 3
