DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Today, with the spread of various audio equipment and personal computer equipment, daily life and CD and CD-ROM, CD-R, CD-RW, DVD, DV
DR and DVD-RW are inseparable, and their use is rapidly spreading to a wide range of age groups.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art With the development of information technology, CD and CD-R
OM, CD-R, CD-RW, DVD, DVD-R, D
The use of VD-RW is inseparable from everyday life. However, since the form and size are completely the same from the viewpoint of manufacturing efficiency and the convenience of use, storage is mixed and common audio players, portable players, DVD players, home game machines, personal computer devices, etc. Misuse of insertion and playback can damage your ears at high volumes and damage speakers. These cautionary notations are only for small letters, and for people with reduced vision or those who are blind, CDs are also available as CD-ROMs, CD-Rs, CD-RWs, DVDs, and DVDs.
It is difficult to identify -R, DVD-RW, and even front and back.

Further, in order to prevent erroneous use of a CD-ROM or the like, since this disc is a CD-ROM, it is inserted into a general audio player, a portable player, a DVD player, a home game machine, or the like, and is reproduced. There are cases where there is a cautionary notation such as the possibility of damaging your ears at high volumes or damaging the speakers, and others without a cautionary notation. CD and CD-ROM,
At present, it is difficult to identify CD-R, CD-RW, DVD, DVD-R, and DVD-RW.

-RW, DVD, DVD-R, 360-degree engraved or mountain-shaped contours around the circumference of DVD-RW enable discrimination and prevent the risk of misuse and insertion into CD-based equipment It is characterized by being able to do.

In a CD or a CD-ROM or the like, by forming a depression formed by a press-shaped portion over 360 degrees, which is one of the surfaces, a person with reduced vision can use a personal computer. Incorrectly insert the front and back, trouble such as the software does not start, or mistake the CD and C
By inserting a D-ROM, a CD-R, a CD-RW, a DVD, a DVD-R, a DVD-RW or the like into an audio equipment or the like, a trouble such as a loud sound is prevented.

According to the present invention, for discriminating a CD from a CD-ROM or the like, a single line or a double line groove or a mountain line color printing line is provided at any one of the central portion and the outer periphery, so that the rotation speed does not vary. CD and CD-R
OM, CD-R, CD-RW, DVD, DVD-R, D
The VD-RW discrimination and the front and back can be confirmed visually and tactilely.

[0010] Further, CD and CD-ROM, CD-R,
For discrimination of CD-RW, DVD, DVD-R, and DVD-RW, a similar discriminating means is provided even for a single size smaller than the normal size to solve the conventional problem.
The same applies to similar products as D.

Therefore, the current C
