NAVIGATING DISC MENUS

Most discs include on-screen display menus that can be used to
select disc settings, control playback, or view information about the
disc.
Note:
The descriptions below provide a general overview of disc menus available
for each disc format. These descriptions may differ for some discs within
each format.

DVD-V

These discs include menus that can be used to activate playback of
specific scenes and to select disc settings such as audio track (audio
language and output format), subtitle language, and camera angle.
In some cases, certain remote control buttons can also be used to
select these settings without navigating through the disc menu.

DVD-A

These discs include top menus that can be used to activate play-
back of specific tracks and to select disc settings such as output for-
mat.

DVD-R/RW

These discs include an Original List screen that provides informa-
tion about the contents of the disc as recorded. Some discs also
include a Play List screen that provides information about the con-
tents of the disc as programmed.

SACD, AUDIO CD, & CD-R/RW

These disc formats do not include disc menus. In some cases,
CD-R/RWs that include MP3 tracks also include an MP3 Menu.

VIDEO CD & SVCD

These discs include PBC (Playback Control) menus that can be used
to activate playback of specific tracks. In some cases, the remote
control number buttons can also be used to activate playback of
specific tracks when the PBC menu is open.

MP3

The MP3 screens allow you to activate playback of specific folders
and tracks on these discs, and view the MP3 file structure.
To navigate disc menus:
The “Disc Menu Command Matrix” on page 4-3 and 4-4 provides
a general overview of remote control commands that can be used
to navigate disc menus. In most cases, the remote control button
must be pressed while the menu is open. Otherwise, the button
executes the command indicated in the Remote Control Command
Matrix.

PLAYBACK ICON

The icon shown at the right appears on the on-screen
display when the RT-20 and/or the disc does not allow
the selected command.
