Disc playback features

Important

Many of the functions covered in this chapter apply to DVD discs, Video CDs/ Super VCDs, CDs, DivX video and WMA/ MP3/MPEG-4 AAC/JPEG discs, although the exact operation of some varies slightly with the kind of disc loaded.

Some DVDs restrict the use of some functions (random or repeat, for example) in some or all parts of the disc. This is not a malfunction.

When playing Video CD/Super VCDs, 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.

If the disc contains WMA/MP3/MPEG-4 AAC files, playback starts with the first file and the slideshow repeats until all the audio files on the disc have played back.

With Video CD/Super VCDs in PBC mode or a WMA/MP3/MPEG-4 AAC track, playback automatically resumes at the end or beginning of the track.
