7Disc structure

DVD VIDEO consists of “titles,” and each title may be divided into some “chapters” (see Example 1).

For example, if DVD VIDEO contains some movies, each movie may have its own title number and it may be further divided into some chapters. In DVD VIDEO Karaoke, each song may have its own title number, but it may not be further divided into chapters.

DVD AUDIO consists of “groups,” and each group may be divided into some “tracks” (see Example 2).

Some DVD AUDIO also contain a “bonus group” that can be played back by entering the “key number” (a kind of password). Usually the contents of “bonus group” are not opened to the public.

Note that most DVD AUDIO include other information in addition to audio, such as still pictures, movies, and text.

VCD, SVCD, and CD consist of “tracks” (see Example 3).

In general, each track has its own track number. (On some discs, each track may also be divided by Indexes. This unit is not compatible with Index function.)

Example 1: DVD VIDEO

Example 2: DVD AUDIO

Example 3 : VCD/SVCD/CD

7Playback Control function (PBC)

The Playback Control function allows you to enjoy menu-driven operation.

Menu-driven playback

A selection menu is displayed when you start playing VCD and SVCD with the Playback Control feature. The selection menu shows a list of numbers for selection. Some discs may show moving pictures or a divided screen.

You can interact with the screen using a menu display to select and play an entry.

See the example illustration on the right about basic feature of menu-driven playback (for details about the operation through the menu, see also page 33).

Note:

•While operating VCD or SVCD using the menu, some of the functions such as repeat play may not work.
