Playing discs

Note

•Many of the functions covered in this chapter apply to DVD and SACD discs, Video CDs/Super VCDs, CDs, DivX video/WMV and MP3/WMA/MPEG-4 AAC/JPEG discs, although the exact operation of some varies slightly with the kind of disc loaded.

•Some DVDs restrict the use of some functions (random or repeat, for example) in some or all parts of the disc. This is not a malfunction.
