Glossary of Disc Terms
Most DVDs are formatted like a book. Each book has at least one
"Title" (perhaps more). Each "Title" is divided into multiple
"Chapters". The "Chapters are made up of several "Pages". To
understand how a DVD is formatted, think of it as a book.
Title (DVD)
The longest sections of a movie or a music piece on a DVD; a
movie or a picture piece on a video software disc; or an entire
album or a music piece on an audio disc. Each title is assigned a
title number enabling you to locate the title you want.
Chapter (DVD)
Sections of a picture or a music piece that are smaller than titles.
A title is composed of several chapters. Each chapter is assigned
a chapter number enabling you to locate the chapter you want.
Depending on the disc, there may be only one chapter per title
recorded.
Track (Video or audio CD)
Sections of a picture or a music piece (song) on a VIDEO or an
audio CD. Each track is assigned a track number enabling you to
locate the track you want.

< Always place the disc on the disc tray with the label side
uppermost. (Compact discs can be played or recorded only on
one side.)
< To remove a disc from its storage case, press down on the
center of the case and lift the disc out, holding it carefully by the
edges.
How to remove the disc
< Should the disc become dirty, wipe the surface radially (from the
center out towards the edge) with a soft, dry cloth :
< Never use such chemicals as record sprays, antistatic sprays or
fluid, benzine or thinner to clean the discs. Such chemicals will
do irreparable damage to the disc's plastic surface.
< Discs should be returned to their cases after use to avoid dust
and scratches that could cause the laser pickup to "skip."
< Do not expose discs to direct sunlight or high humidity and
temperature for extended periods. Long exposure to high
temperatures will warp the disc.
< CD-R and CD-RW discs are more sensitive to the effects of heat
and ultraviolet rays than ordinary CDs. It is important that they
are not stored in a location where direct sunlight will fall on
them, and which is away from sources of heat such as radiators
or heat-generating electrical devices.
< Printable CD-R and CD-RW discs aren't recommended, as the
label side might be sticky and damage the unit.
< Do not stick papers or protective sheets on the discs and do not
use any protective coating spray.
< Use a soft oil-based felt-tipped pen to write the information on
the label side. Never use a ball-point or hard-tipped pen, as this
may cause damage to the recorded side.
< Never use a stabilizer. Using commercially available CD
stabilizers with this unit will damage the mechanisms and cause
them to malfunction.
< Do not use irregular shape CDs (octagonal, heart-shape, etc.).
CDs of this sort can damage the unit:
< If you are in any doubt as to the care and handling of a CD-R/CD-
RW disc, read the precautions supplied with the disc, or contact
the disc manufacturer directly.
