Playing Video CDs

What is a Video CD?

Like DVD video discs, Video CDs contain picture and sound content. Video CDs (VCDs) are encoded in a different format. VCDs don’t hold as much information as DVD discs and the picture quality is not as high.

VCDs can have more than one title. Each title is divided into tracks (similar to chapters on a DVD disc).

The Video CD Disc Menu

A Video CD disc is capable of having an on-screen menu that is separate from the DVD player’s menu system and on-screen information banners. If the disc has a menu, the menu will appear after the disc is loaded into the player.

The content and operation of disc menus varies from disc to disc. Check the instructions that accompany the Video CD for more information on how to use the playback control functions for that specific disc.

If a disc menu appears:

1.Use the number buttons on the remote to select a track (similar to a chapter).

2.Press OK on the remote to begin playback of the selected track.

3.Press CH+ or CH- on the remote to scroll through the tracks.

4.Press the STOP button on the remote to stop playback and return to the disc menu. To bring up the disc menu during disc play, press the MENU button on the remote.

If the Video CD Has Playback Control

If a disc is encoded with the playback control function, a menu screen appears after the disc is loaded into the player.

1.Use the number buttons on the remote to select a track.

2.Press OK to begin playback of the selected track.

3.Press CH+ or CH- on the remote to scroll through the tracks.

4.Press STOP to stop playback and return to the menu or press STOP twice to stop playback and remove the menu from the screen.

Bypassing Playback Control

If a Video CD has playback control, you can bypass the disc’s menu by following these steps when you first load the discs.

1.Press STOP to put the player in the stop mode.

2.Use the number buttons on the remote to enter the desired track number, and then press OK. When playback begins, the disc will respond as if it is not in the Playback Control mode.
