About discs

Disc structure

A DVD Video disc consists of “titles,” and each title may be divided into some “chapters.” (See Example 1.)

For example, if a DVD disc contains some movies, each movie may have its own title number, and it may be further divided into some chapters.

On the other hand, a Video CD, SVCD, and Audio CD consist of “tracks.” (See Example 2.)

In general, each track has its own track number. (On some discs, each track may also be divided by Indexes.)

Example 1: DVD

Example 2 : Video CD/SVCD/Audio CD

Playback Control function (PBC)

The Playback Control function allows you to enjoy menu-driven operation and high-resolution still images which have a resolution four times greater than moving pictures.

•High-resolution still image display

You can display high-quality images four times clearer than moving pictures.

•Menu-driven playback

A selection menu is displayed when you start playing a Video CD and SVCD disc 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 example illustration below about basic feature of menu-driven playback (for details about the operation through the menu, see also page 39).

NOTE:

While operating a Video CD or SVCD using the menu, some of the functions such as repeat play may not work.
