Advanced CD and VCD features

This section explains the more sophisticated CD and VCD features, such as special playback modes. The operations described here differ slightly from DVD but are similar for CDs and VCDs. Note that many VCDs have a single track, so some operations involving tracks are not appropriate for VCDs.

Many of these advanced features use on-screen menus, so a TV monitor is required.

TIME

Highlight the Time field, enter the time in hours, minutes and seconds, and press OK. Invalid time entries are ignored.
