Glossary of Disc Terms
Title (DVD)
The longest sections of a picture or a music piece on a DVD; a
movie, et cetera, for a picture piece on a video software; or an
album, etc., for a music piece on an audio disc. Each title is
assigned a title number enabling you to locate the title you
want. On most DVD movies, there will be only one title.
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 chap-
ter per title recorded.
Track (Video or Audio CD)
Sections of a picture or a music piece on a VIDEO or an audio
CD. Each track is assigned a track number enabling you to
locate the track you want. On most audio CD's, one track is
equal to one song.

< 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 hole outward towards the outer 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 tem-
peratures will warp the disc.
< Do not play any disc that is warped, deformed or damaged.
Playing such discs may cause irreparable harm to the playing
mechanisms.
< CD-R/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/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 stabi-
lizers with this unit will damage the mechanisms and cause
them to malfunction.
< Do not use irregular shape CDs (octagonal, heart shaped, busi-
ness card size, 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/RW disc, read the precautions supplied with the disc, or
contact the disc manufacturer directly.
