3-20-1 Hierarchical structure of VCD menus
When a P.B.C.-compatible VCD containing menus is
played and an item is selected in the displayed menu, a

displayed. Such a structure in which multiple menus are
distributed in different levels and interconnected is
referred to as the hierarchical structure. In this structure,
the target scene can be reached by repeatedly selecting
items in multiple menus.
To advance in the hierarchy: When an item is selected
in the menu using the ENTER (Select) button or
numeric buttons, you can advance to the menu at
the level immediately below the current level. When
the selected item is a [scene], the scene will be played
back.
To return in the hierarchy: You can return to the level
immediately above the current level every time you
press the RETURN button.
