Playing discs

Introduction

Most of the features described in this chapter make use of on-screen displays. For an expla- nation of how to navigate these, see Using the on-screen displays on page 21.

Many of the functions covered in this chapter apply to DVD and SACD discs, Video CDs, CDs and MP3/JPEG discs, although the exact operation of some varies slightly with the kind of disc loaded.

Some DVD discs restrict the use of some functions (random or repeat, for example). This is not a malfunction.

When playing Video CDs, some of the func- tions are not available during PBC playback. If you want to use them, start the disc playing using a number button to select a track.

To access functions printed in green on the remote, move the slider switch from MAIN to SUB.

1Press HOME MENU and select ‘Disc Navigator’ from the on-screen display. Alternatively, if a VR format DVD-RW, CD, Video CD or MP3/JPEG disc is loaded, you can press DVD MENU, which takes you straight to the Disc Navigator screen.
