Playing Discs

Introduction

Most of the features described in this chapter make use of on-screen displays. For an explanation of how to navigate these, see Using the on-screen displays on page 22.

Many of the functions covered in this chapter apply to DVD discs, Video CDs, CDs and MP3 discs, although the exact operation of some varies slightly with the kind of disc loaded.

Some DVD discs restrict the use of some functions (random or repeat, for example). This is not a malfunction.

When playing Video CDs, some of the functions are not available during PBC playback. If you want to use them, start the disc playing using a number button to select a track.

Using the Disc Navigator to browse the contents of a disc

Use the Disc Navigator to browse through the contents of a disc to find the part you want to play. You can use the Disc Navigator when a disc is playing or stopped.

1Press SETUP and select ‘Disc Naviga- tor’ from the on-screen display. Alternatively, if a CD, Video CD or MP3 disc is loaded, you can press MENU, which takes you straight to the Disc Navigator screen.
