Disc structure
(For DVD VIDEO)
A DVD VIDEO disc is comprised of "titles" and each title
may be divided into "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.

Care and handling of discs
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.
CAUTION
The image may be sometimes poor or noisy due to
defects in the disc itself.
