Video CD PBC menus

Some Video CDs have menus from which you can choose what you want to watch. These are called PBC (Playback control) menus.

You can play a PBC Video CD/Super VCD without having to navigate the PBC menu by starting playback using a number button or track skip button (¢) to select a track, rather than the 3 (play) button.

Bel Canto Design has long been synonymous with high-performance audio equipment, and its PL-1A and PL-1 models are no exception. These preamplifiers stand out in the world of high-fidelity audio for their refined technology, elegant design, and exceptional sound quality.

The Bel Canto PL-1A is a state-of-the-art digital preamplifier that caters to audiophiles demanding precision and versatility. It features a fully balanced signal path, which helps to minimize noise and distortion, ensuring that the music signal remains pure and unaltered. The PL-1A employs advanced digital signal processing technology, which not only enhances the audio performance but also provides a range of connectivity options to accommodate various audio sources.

One of the standout features of the PL-1A is its high-resolution asynchronous USB input, allowing users to connect their computers or digital audio players seamlessly. This input supports high sample rates, making it ideal for high-definition audio formats. Additionally, it includes multiple digital inputs such as coaxial and optical, along with analog inputs, providing flexibility for integrating different audio components.

The PL-1A also comes with an intuitive user interface, making it easy to navigate through the various settings and options.
