Disc structure
DVD VIDEO consists of “titles,” and each title may be divided into some “chapters.”
For example, if a DVD VIDEO contains some movies, each movie may have its own title number and it may be further divided into some chapters. In a 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.”
Some DVD AUDIOs 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 open to the public. Note that most DVD AUDIOs include much information in addition to audio, such as still pictures, movies, and text.
SVCD, VCD, and CD consist of “tracks.”
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.)
On an MP3 disc, each song is recorded as a file. Files are usually grouped into a folder. Folders can also include other folders, creating hierarchical folder layers.
This unit simplifies the hierarchical construction of a disc and manages files and folders by “tracks” and “groups.”

On a JPEG disc, each still picture is recorded as a file. Files are usually grouped into a folder. Folders can also include other folders, creating hierarchical folder layers.

Playback Control function (PBC)—SVCD and VCD only
The Playback Control function enables
Menu-driven playback
A selection menu is displayed when you start playing a SVCD and VCD 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 below about basic feature of menu- driven playback (for details about the operation through the disc menu, see also page 20).
