Introduction
• Most of the functions covered in this chapter apply to
DVD discs, Video CDs and CDs, although the exact
operation of some varies slightly with the kind of disc
loaded.
• When playing DVD discs, if the
or icon
appears on-screen when you try and use a particular
function, either the player or the disc doesn’t allow the
use of that function.

not available in PBC mode. You can switch PBC off by
starting playback using a number button to select a
track, rather than the 6 button.
