VIDEO CD
DVD discs are divided into units referred to as titles, and these titles are divided into chapters. Additionally, menu screens do not belong to any title. Usually for movies etc., 1 movie corresponds to one title. On Karaoke discs, 1 song has 1 title. It is not uncommon, however, for discs to have a unique title division, and it should be noted that search and program modes may be affected in these cases.

■About disc operation
On some DVD discs, operation methods may change or specific operations may be prohibited according to the intentions of the disc’s manufacturer. Because of this, operation methods may differ depending on the disc, or some specific functions may not be operable. When operation of a function prohibited by the disc is attempted on a PIONEER DVD player, a prohibited mark will be displayed on the screen. Additionally, on discs where interactive operation is possible through menu operation or through operation during playback, because discs are not completely continuous, but rather divided into sections, some operation for functions such as repeat or programming etc., may not be possible. On PIONEER DVD players, a prohibited mark will be displayed on the screen in these instances.
