PBC: Playback Control (Video CD only)
Playback control is available for Video CD (VCD)
version 2.0 disc formats. PBC allows you to interact with
the system via menus, search functions, or other typical
computer-like operations. Moreover, still pictures of high
resolution can be played if they are included in the disc.
Video CDs not equipped with PBC (Version 1.1) operate
in the same way as audio CDs.
Title (DVD video discs only)
A title is generally a distinct section of a DVD disc. For
example the main feature could be title 1, a
documentary describing how the film was made could
be title 2, and cast interviews could be title 3. Each title
is assigned a reference number enabling you to locate it
easily.
Chapter (DVD video discs only)
A chapter is a segment of a title such as a scene in a
film or one interview in a series. Each chapter is
assigned a chapter number, enabling you to locate the
chapter you want. Depending on the disc, chapters
may not be recorded.
Scene (VCD)
On a video CD with PBC (playback control) functions,
moving pictures and still pictures are divided into
sections called “scenes”. Each scene is displayed in
the menu screen and assigned a scene number,
enabling you to locate the scene you want. A scene is
composed of one or several tracks.
Track
A distinct element of audiovisual information, such as
the picture or sound track for a specific language
(DVD), or a musical piece on a video or audio CD.
Each track is assigned a track number, enabling you
to locate the track you want. DVD discs allow one
track of video (with multiple angles) and several tracks
of audio.
Caution
Never throw batteries into a fire.
Notes:
•
Be sure to use AAA size batteries.
• Dispose of batteries in a designated disposal area.
• Batteries should always be disposed of with the
environment in mind. Always dispose of batteries in
accordance with applicable laws and regulations.
• If the remote control does not operate correctly, or if the
operating range becomes reduced, replace batteries with
new ones.

always replace both batteries with new ones. Never mix
battery types or use new and used batteries in
