DISC-RELATED TERMS

Title (DVD only)

A title is the longest section of a picture or a musical piece on a DVD; a movie for a picture piece on video software, or an album for a musical piece on audio software.

Each title is assigned a title number enabling you to locate the title you want.

Chapter (DVD only)

Chapters are sections of a picture or a musical piece that are smaller than titles.

A title is composed of several chapters. Each chapter is assigned a chapter number, enabling you to locate the chapter you want. Depending on the disc, there may be no chapters recorded.

Track (audio CD and VCD only)

Tracks are sections of a picture or a musical piece on a video CD or an audio CD.

Each track is assigned a track number, enabling you to locate the track you want.

Scene

On a video CD with PBC (PlayBack Control) functions, moving pictures and still pictures are divided into sections called "Scenes". Each scene is displayed in the menu screen and assigned a scene number, enabling you to locate the scene you want.

A scene is composed of one or several tracks.

TYPES OF VIDEO CDS

There are two types of video CDs.	CDAUDIO	OPERATIONS
Video CDs equipped with PBC (Version 2.0)
PBC (PlayBack Control) allows you to interact with the system via
menus, search functions or other typical computer-like operations.
Still pictures of high resolution can also be played, if they are
included in the disc.	DVD/VCD	OPERATIONS
Video CDs not equipped with PBC (Version 1.1)
Operated in the same way as audio CDs, these discs allow you to
play video pictures as well as sound, but they are not equipped
with PBC.
In some cases, you may want to play VCDs equipped with PBC
with the PBC feature off.This is because some disc playing features
can only be used for VCDs without PBC. See "PLAYING A VCD
WITHOUT USING PLAYBACK CONTROL", page 20.
