The number of channels that are recorded depends on the software. (1 to 5.1 channels)

Dolby Pro Logic

Playback control (VCD (Video CD))

If the VCD (Video CD) has “With Playback Control” or others written on the disc surface or on the jacket, the scenes or information to be viewed (or listened to) can be selected interactively with the screen by looking at the menu shown on the screen.

In these instructions, playback using the menu screen is referred to as the “menu play” for video CDs. This player supports Video CDs with playback control.
