About discs
Playable disc types
Playable and non-playable disc types are as follows:
Playable discs
DVD
The DVD Logo is a trademark.
Video CD
Non-playable discs
• DVD-ROM• DVD-RAM• DVD-R• DVD-RW
• CD-R*• CD-ROM• PHOTO CD • CD-RW*
* Audio formatted CD-R and CD-RW can be played.
• Playing back discs list as “Non-playable discs” above may
generate noise and damage speakers.
• Only audio can be played for CD-G, CD-EXTRA and CD
TEXT.
Notes on DVD discs
• DVD players and DVD discs have their own Region Code

Region Code numbers include “2”.
Audio CD
Examples of playable DVD discs:
• This unit accommodates discs for the PAL system.
Disc structure
A DVD disc is comprised of “titles”, while an Audio CD or Video
CD is comprised of “tracks”. Each title may be divided into some
“chapters”. For example, if a DVD disc contains some movies,
each movie may have its own title number, and each movie may be
divided into some chapters. In a DVD karaoke disc, each song
usually has its own title number and does not have chapters. In
general, each title has independent content, while each chapter in
the same title has continuity.
Example: DVD disc
Example: Audio CD/Video CD
Video CDs with Playback Control function
What is Playback Control function?
The Playback Control function, allows you to enjoy menu-driven operation and high-resolution still images which have a resolution four
times greater than moving pictures.
• Menu-driven playback
You can interact with the screen using a menu display to select and play an entry.
• High-resolution still image display
You can display high-quality images four times clearer than moving pictures.
A selection menu is displayed when you start playing a Video CD with the Playback Control feature. The selection menu shows a list of
numbers for selection. Some discs may show moving pictures or a divided screen.
1. When a list of numbers is displayed, selecting a number shows its contents.
2. When “3333” or “SELECT” is displayed on the television screen, pressing this button jumps to the specific picture.
3. When the selection menu is re-displayed after you have played your selection, selecting a number again replays its contents.
(Some discs may show the menu screen several times.)
When ¢ and 4 are shown, pressing “NEXT” or “PREV” can change the selection menu.
4. After playback, press RETURN to go back to the previous screen.
To stop playback, press STOP.
EnglishEnglishEnglishEnglishEnglishEnglishEnglish
Note:
• When a menu is displayed for a long time (about ten minutes), the screen background automatically gets dark to prevent
screen burn-in while the setting is suspended.
