Playing discs
Introduction
Most of the features described in this chapter make use
of on-screen displays. For an explanation of how to nav-
igate these, see “Using the on-screen displays” on
page 24.
Many of the functions covered in this chapter apply to
DVD discs, Video CDs, CDs and WMA/MP3/JPEG
discs, although the exact operation of some varies
slightly with the kind of disc loaded.
Some DVD discs restrict the use of some functions (ran-
dom or repeat, for example). This is not a malfunction.
When playing Video CDs, some of the functions are not
available during PBC playback. If you want to use them,
start the disc playing using a number button to select a
track.
Use the Disc Navigator to browse through the contents
of a disc to find the part you want to play. You can use the
Disc Navigator when a disc is playing or stopped.
Tips:
• The Disc Navigator is not available unless there is a
disc loaded.
• It’s not possible to use the Disc Navigator when play-
ing a Video CD in PBC mode, or an unfinalized CD-
R/RW disc.
• Another way to find a particular place on a disc is to
use one of the search modes. See “Searching a disc”
on page 36.
