Playback condition displays
You can be alerted in advance to deteriorating playback
conditions and to error correction rates which are
approaching their limits.
Deteriorating playback may be due to the following
causes.
• Scratches and dust on the disc surface
• Aging of disc recording layers
• Deteriorating laser diodes performance
For details, see "Digital hours meter" (page 175) about
this setting.
Display Name Description
Yellow The playback condition has
condition deteriorated to some degree.
There are no read errors, but you
should take the action described
in the next section. This
corresponds to the "yellow"
channel condition indicator of a
VTR.
Red condition The playback condition has
deteriorated. There are no read
errors,
action described in the next
section. This corresponds to the
"red" channel condition indicator
of a VTR.
If a read error occurs, a "Disc Error!" alarm appears in the time data
display, the picture freezes, and audio is muted.
This includes fingerprints, dust from the air, tar from
cigarette smoke, and so on.
Scratches and soiling which occur before recording are
not a problem because they are registered in advance as
defects, and recording avoids them. However, scratches
and soiling which occur after recording can lead to
deteriorating playback conditions.
Over several decades, the recording layers of optical
discs can age and cause deteriorating playback
conditions.
You can use this function to check archival discs and
other discs which have been stored for extended periods,
so that you can take action before the deterioration
progresses further.
The performance of the laser diodes used in optical
heads can worsen with age, leading to deteriorating
playback conditions.
