Video CD/Super VCD PBC menus

Some Video CD/Super VCDs have menus from which you can choose what you want to watch. These are 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 to select a track, rather than the (play) button.

4 Press TAPE to start playback.

You can also press (remote) or (front panel) to start playback when TAPE is selected.

The side of the tape you’ll hear is whichever is face up when you load it. This is the ‘forward’

(

) direction, while the other side is ‘reverse’

(

). The direction indicator is shown in the

display.

a.Track search is unlikely to work reliably if:

–the space between tracks is less than about 4 seconds.

–the recording is noisy so the spaces are not recognized.

–the recording contains frequent silences, such as a lan- guage study tape.

–the recording contains sections of very quiet material, such as some classical music recordings.
