Disc structure

A DVD disc is comprised of “titles”, while an Audio CD or Video CD is comprised of “tracks”. Each title may be divided into some “chapters”. For example, if a DVD disc contains some movies, each movie may have its own title number, and each movie may be divided into some chapters. In a DVD karaoke disc, each song usu- ally has its own title number and does not have chapters. In gener- al, each title has independent content, while each chapter in the same title has continuity.

Example: DVD disc

Notes on DVD discs
• DVD players and DVD discs have their own Region Code
numbers. This unit only can play back DVD discs whose
Region Code numbers include “1”.	Example: Audio CD/Video CD

Video CDs with Playback Control function

What is Playback Control function?

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.

•Menu-driven playback

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

•High-resolution still image display

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

A selection menu is displayed when you start playing a Video CD 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.

1.When a list of numbers is displayed, selecting a number shows its contents.

2.When “3” or “SELECT” is displayed on the television screen, pressing this button jumps to the specific picture.

3.When the selection menu is re-displayed after you have played your selection, selecting a number again replays its contents.

(Some discs may show the menu screen several times.)

When ¢ and 4 are shown, pressing “NEXT” or “PREV” can change the selection menu.

4.After playback, press RETURN to go back to the previous screen.

To stop playback, press STOP.

Note:

•When a menu is displayed for a long time (about ten minutes), the screen background automatically gets dark to prevent screen burn-in while the setting is suspended.
