Do not stick paper or tape to discs.

On cleaning discs

Fingerprints and dust on the disc cause picture and
sound deterioration. Wipe the disc from the center

If you cannot wipe off the dust with a soft cloth, wipe
the disc lightly with a slightly moistened soft cloth and
finish with a dry cloth.
Do not use any type of solvent such as thinner,
benzine, commercially available cleaners or antistatic
spray for vinyl LPs. It may damage the disc.

On storing discs

or near heat sources.
Do not store discs in places subject to moisture and
dust such as a bathroom or near a humidifier.
Store discs vertically in a case. Stacking or placing

Structure of disc contents

Normally, DVD video discs are divided into titles, and the
titles are subdivided into chapters.
VIDEO CDs/audio CDs are divided into tracks.

Title:

Divided contents of a DVD video disc.
Roughly corresponds to a story title in short
stories.

Chapter: Divided contents of a title. This corresponds

to a chapter in a story.

Track:

Divided contents of a VIDEO CD or an audio
CD.

Each title, chapter, or track is assigned a number, which
is called “title number”, “chapter number”, or “track
number” respectively.
Some discs may not have these numbers.

When you record on a DVD-RAM/R/RW disc, one
recording will always equal one title.
