Using the Video CD Player (Video CDs, CD-Gs)
English
A selection menu is displayed when you start playing a vid-
eo CD with the PBC function. The selection menu shows a
list of numbers for selection. Some video CDs may show
moving pictures or a divided screen.
When a list of numbers is displayed, selecting a number
shows its contents.
When a moving picture is displayed, pressing SELECT
at the time when a part of the movie you desire is shown
plays the movie.
When the selection menu is re-displayed after you have
played your selection, selecting a number again can
replay its contents. (Some video CDs may show the
menu screen several times.)
When “NEXT” and “PREV” are shown, pressing NEXT
or PREV can change the selection menu.
After playback, press & RETURN (&) to go back to
the previous screen. Some video CDs may return you to
the menu screen shown before playback.
• When a menu is displayed for a long time, about 10 min-
utes, the screen background automatically fades out to
prevent screen burn-in while the setting is suspended.
• When using the REPEAT function, the PBC function is not
available.
