DVD-videos are divided into several large sections called “titles” and smaller sections called “chapters”.

Numbers are allotted to these sections. These numbers are called “title numbers” and “chapter numbers”.

For example:

	Title 1	Title2
Chapter 1 Chapter 2 Chapter 3		Chapter 1 Chapter 2

Video CDs including the words “playback control” on the disc or jacket are equipped with a function for displaying menus on the TV screen for selecting the desired position, displaying information, etc., in dialog fashion.

In this manual, playing video CDs using such menus is referred to “menu playback”.
