Video CD/Super VCD PBC menus

Some Video CD/Super VCDs 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/Super VCD without having to navigate the PBC menu by starting playback using a number button to select a track, rather than the (play) button.

		FAQ	English
• After I load a DVD disc, it ejects
	automatically after a few seconds!
	Most likely, the disc is the wrong region for
	your player. The region number should be
	printed on the disc; check it against the
	region number of the player (which you can
	find on the rear panel). See also DVD-Video
	regions on page 53.
	If the region number is OK, it may be that
	the disc is damaged or dirty. Clean the disc
	and look for signs of damage. See also
	Taking care of your player and discs on
	page 51.
• Why won’t the disc I loaded play?
	First check that you loaded the disc the
	right way up (label side up), and that it’s
	clean and undamaged. See Taking care of
	your player and discs on page 51 for
	information on cleaning discs.
	If a disc loaded correctly won’t play, it’s
	probably an incompatible format or disc
	type, such as DVD-ROM. See Disc / content
	format playback compatibility on page 7 for
	more on disc compatibility.
• I have a widescreen TV so why are there
	black bars at the top and bottom of the
	screen when I play some discs?
	Some movie formats are such that even
	when played on a widescreen TV, black
	bars are necessary at the top and bottom of
	the screen. This is not a malfunction.
• I have a standard (4:3) TV and set the player
	to show widescreen DVDs in pan & scan
	format, so why do I still get black bars top
	and bottom with some discs?
	Some discs override the display
	preferences of the player, so even if you
	have 4:3 (Pan & Scan) selected, those
	discs will still be shown in letter box format.
	This is not a malfunction.
