it shouldnt take much thought to figure out the D is a metaphorical symbol used to represent how the digital technology of the DVD is a benefit to the Deaf Community. Ohh of course... that's obvious

Or, it could be that, deaf refers to the individual disability and Deaf refers to the collective community. e.g., deaf person versus a Deaf party, makes things a little easier to sort out. That is the context I have seen it in the most.

"Ohh of course... that's obvious" Metaphors are not supposed to be obvious; they are used to for force the readers to think for themselves so they can form their own opinions.
But of course, they can also be used to expose idiot elites who like to piss and moan about other's thoughts when they have nothing to offer.
