OPERATIONS
TYPES OF VIDEO CDS
There are two types of video CDs.
Video CDs equipped with PBC (Version 2.0)
PBC (PlayBack Control) allows you to interact with the system via
menus, search functions or other typical computer-like operations.
Still pictures of high resolution can also be played, if they are
included in the disc.
Video CDs not equipped with PBC (Version 1.1)
Operated in the same way as audio CDs, these discs allow you to
play video pictures as well as sound, but they are not equipped
with PBC.
In some cases, you may want to play VCDs equipped with PBC
with the PBC feature off. This is because some disc playing features
can only be used for VCDs without PBC. See "PLAYING A VCD
WITHOUT USING PLAYBACK CONTROL", page 20.
