data disc. Consists of number of tracks.
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 the HDD, one recording will 
always equal one title. You can divide a title into 
several chapters by marking borders in it to facilitate 
scene search.
On handling discs
• Do not touch the playback side of the disc.
• 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 centre 
outwards with a soft cloth. Always keep the disc 
clean.
• Do not use any type of solvent such as thinners, 
benzine, commercially available cleaners or 
antistatic spray for vinyl LPs. It may damage the 
disc.
On storing discs
• Do not store discs in a place subject to direct 
sunlight 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 
objects on discs outside of their case may cause 
warping.
