Playing discs

Notes:

Many of the functions covered in this chapter apply to
DVD discs, Video CDs, CDs and MP3/JPEG discs,
although the exact operation of some varies slightly
with the kind of disc loaded.
Some DVDs restrict the use of some functions (ran-
dom or repeat, for example) in some or all parts of the
disc. This is not a malfunction.
When playing Video CD, 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.
You can fast-scan discs forward or backward at four dif-
ferent speeds.
You can play DVDs at four different slow motion speeds,
forwards and backwards. Video CD can be played at four
different forward slow motion speeds.
Note:
Backward slow-motion playback does not work with
Video CD.
