Playing discs

Notes:

Many of the functions covered in this chapter apply to DVD discs, Video CDs, CDs, DivX Video and MP3/ WMA/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.
