DVD-Video disc menus

DVD-V

Many DVD-Video discs feature menus from which you can select what you want to watch. They may also give access to additional features, such as subtitle and audio language selection, or special features such as slide- shows. See the disc packaging for details.

Sometimes DVD-Video menus are displayed automati- cally when you start playback; others only appear when you press MENU or TOP MENU.

Video CD PBC menus

VCD

Some Video CD have menus from which you can choose what you want to watch. These are called PBC (Playback control) menus.

You can play a PBC Video CD without having to navi- gate the PBC menu by starting playback using a number button to select a track, rather than the (play) button.
