PLAYING A VCD WITHOUT USINGPLAYBACK CONTROL (PBC)
With PBC (PlayBack Control), play of VCDs is controlled from the
menu display on the monitor screen, and the menu display appears
automatically after play of each selection.
You can, however , choose to set PBC off , and play the entire VCD
without returning to the menu display, just like audio CDs.
This, for example, allows you to use repeat and programmed play
for VCDs with PBC.

page 17.
