Playing discs
Note
• Many of the functions covered in this
chapter apply to DVD discs, Video CDs/
Super VCDs, CDs, DivX video and WMA/
MP3 JPEG discs, although the exact
operation of some varies slightly with the
kind of disc loaded.
• Some DVDs restrict the use of some
functions (random or repeat, for example)
in some or all parts of the disc. This is not a
malfunction.
• When playing Video CD/Super VCDs, some
of the functions are not available during
PBC playback. If you want to use them,
