If the Surface is Dirty
• Wipe the CD gently with a soft, moist (water only)
cloth.
• When wiping CDs always move the cloth from the
centre of the CD to the outer edge.
(If you wipe the CD in a circular manner you will cause
circular scratches which will produce noises on the
CD.)
• If a CD is moved from cold to warm surroundings it is
possible that moisture will form on the CD. Wipe off
the moisture with a soft, dry cloth that is free of fluff
before inserting the CD.
Incorrect CD Storage

cations:
• exposed to direct sunlight

• locations exposed to a direct source of heat or
heating.

solution and then wrung out before wiping off with a
dry cloth.

Definition of Terms
Angle
On some DVDs there are scenes that have been
recorded simultaneously from a number of different vie-
wing angles (the same scene from the front, the left, the
right etc.). With such DVDs the ANGLE button can be
pressed to see the scene from the various angles.
Chapter Number
These numbers are recorded on DVDs. A title is divided
up into many sections, each of which has a number. Spe-
cific sections of the video presentation can be quickly fo-
und using these numbers.
D
VD
This term refers to optical CDs of a high-density on which
high-quality picture and sound recordings have been ma-
de using digital signals. Through the use of a new video
compression technique (MPEG) and a high-density recor-
ding technique it is possible to record long and aestheti-
cally pleasing videos on DVDs (for example, an entire
feature film can be recorded). DVDs consist of two 0.6
mm-thin discs. The greater the density, the more informa-
tion can be recorded. A DVD has a greater capacity than
a single-side 1.2 mm-thick disc. The fact that two thin di-
scs are combined means that at some time in the future it
will be possible to have double-sided playback with even
longer playback times.
PBC (Pla
yback Control)
This is recorded on video CDs (version 2.0).The scenes
or information can be seen (or heard) interactively via the
television screen using the menu that appears on the

of the screen and translate or explain the dialogue. Subtit-
les are recorded on DVDs.
Time Number
This shows the running time recorded on the DVD. If a
DVD contains two or more films, the films are numbered
as title 1, title 2, etc.

CDs. They make it possible to search for and find specific
