Disc Compatibility and Handling
Discs You can Use
Your DVD Changer can play back the following discs:
• You cannot play back discs other than those listed above.
• You cannot play back discs such as CD-R, CD-RW, CD-ROM,
DVD-RAM, DVD-RW, etc., even though they may be labelled
with one of the above logos.
• This DVD Changer uses the NTSC color system, and cannot
play back DVD videos recorded in any other color system
(PAL, SECAM, etc.).
• Avoid using heart-shaped or octagonal discs. Playing irregularly
shaped discs may damage the DVD Changer’s internal
mechanism.
• Do not use discs that have residue from adhesive tape, rental
discs that have peeling labels, or discs that have custom labels
or stickers. Otherwise, you may not be able to eject the discs, or
the DVD Changer may become inoperative.
Handling Discs
• Never touch the playback side (the “blank” side) of the disc.
• Never attach paper or tape to discs.
Cleaning Discs
• Fingerprints and dust on the disc cause a deterioration of the
picture and sound quality. Wipe the disc from the center
outwards with a soft cloth. Always keep the discs clean.
• Stubborn dust or dirt can be removed by wiping the disc lightly
with a slightly moistened soft cloth and finishing with a dry
cloth.
• Never use solvents such as thinner, benzine, commercially
available cleaners, or antistatic spray for vinyl LPs. They may
damage the disc.
Storing Discs
• Do not store discs in places subject to direct sunlight or near
heat sources.
• Do not store discs in places subject to moisture and dust, such
as in a bathroom or near a humidifier.
• Store discs vertically in their case. Stacking or placing objects
on unprotected discs may cause warping and scratches.
About VIDEO CDs
Your DVD Changer can play back version 1.1 and 2.0 Video CDs.
Version 2.0 discs support PBC functionality. (PBC is the abbrevia-
tion of Playback Control.)
•
VIDEO CDs not equipped with PBC functionality (Version 1.1)
Sound and pictures are played back in the same way as an audio
CD.
•
VIDEO CDs equipped with PBC functionality (Version 2.0)
In addition to the functions available for version 1.1 Video CDs,
you can use interactive software and search functions. These are
accessible via a menu displayed on the TV screen (Menu
Playback). However, not all functions described in this
Instruction Manual are supported by all Video CDs.
