Playing discs

Note

Many of the functions covered in this chapter apply to DVD and SACD discs, Video CDs, CDs, DivX video and WMA/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 (random or repeat, for example) in some or all parts of the disc. This is not a malfunction.

When playing Video CDs, 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.
