CD VIDEO LDs
A CD VIDEO LD is an LD with digital audio which is encoded with
sub codes (data such as TOC and track number data, excluding
audio and video signals).
LDs (LASERDISCS)
Two types of standard LaserDisc are available -- standard play (CAV)
discs and extended play (CLV) discs -- which differ with respect to
their signal recording systems.
CAM DISCS
The jackets and labels of these discs are marked with a 'Standard Play
Disc CAV' or 'Standard Play" indication.
CLV DISCS
The jackets and labels of these discs are marked with a 'Extended
Play Disc CLV" or "Extended Play" indication.

CDV (COMPACT DISC WITH VIDEO) DISCS
These are compact discs which also contain video signals. Of the
total 25-minute playback time of a CDV disc, 20 minutes is encoded
with conventional CD digital audio signals (the "audio part"). The
remaining 5 minutes is encoded with both video and digital audio
signals (the "video part").
In normal palyback mode, the unit plays the audio part after the video
part is played back.

How to hold discs
When loading or removing discs, try not to touch their playing
surfaces.
Cleaning
Fingerprints or other dirt on the disc may affect sound and picture
quality.
To clean your discs, use a soft clean cloth to wipe them. If necessary,
moisten a soft cloth with diluted neutral detergent to remove heaw
dirt or fingerprints.
Do not wipe in a circular Gently wipe from the
direction inside toward the outer edge.
(Concentric scratches in the disc
groove tend to cause noise.)
Discs must not be cleaned with record cleaning sprays, or static
prevention sprays, etc. Also do not use volatile liquids such as
benzine, or thinner, etc.
NEVER PLAY CRACKED OR WARPED DISCS.
• The disc revolves in the player at a high speed when it is played.
Never play a cracked, scratched or warped disc. This may damage
the player or cause it to malfunction.
After using discs, store them upright
After playing a disc, always remove it from the player and return it to
its jacket. Then store it standing upright away from heat and humidity.
• Store discs carefully. If you store discs at an angle, or stacked on
top of each other, discs may become warped even when in their
jackets.
• Do not leave discs in locations such as the seat of car, which may
become excessively hot.
If an LD disc is warped...
If an LD disc is warped, put the disc into its protective envelope, and
then place it between two flat boards. Then place heaw books on top
of the boards so that approximately 4 to 5 kg (10 Ibs) is applied. Leave
the disc like this for a day or so. This may correct the warp.
