Disc Introduction—DVD/VCD/CD
• On some DVD or VCD discs, their actual operations
may be different from what is explained in this manual.
This is due to the disc programming and disc structure,
but not a malfunction of this unit.
• The following discs cannot be played back;
– DVD-Audio, DVD-ROM, DVD-RAM, DVD-R,
DVD-RW, CD-ROM, CD-I, (CD-I Ready), Photo CD,
etc.
Playing back these discs will generate noise and damage
the speakers.

Examples:
Disc structure — DVD, Video CD (VCD) and Audio CD
(CD)
A DVD disc consists of
Titles
, and each title may be divided
into some
Chapters
. (See Example 1.)
For example, if a DVD disc contains some movies, each
movie may have its own title number, and it may be further
divided into some chapters.
On the other hand, a VCD or CD consists of
Tracks
. (See
Example 2.)
In general, each song has its own track number. (On some
discs, each track may also be divided by Indexes.)
When playing back a VCD with Playback Control (PBC)
function, you can select what to view using the menu shown
on the TV screen. (While operating a Video CD using the
menu, some of the functions such as Repeat and Variable
Speed Search may not work.)
IMPORTANT: Before performing any operations, make
sure of the following....
• Check the connection with the TV.
• Turn on the TV and select the correct input on the TV to
view the pictures or on-screen indications on the TV screen.
• For DVD playback, you can change the Setup menu setting
to your preference. (See pages 28 – 30.)
If “
INVALID” appears on the TV screen when
pressing a button, the disc cannot accept the operation
you have tried to do.
CD-R
CD-RW
Note on CD-R and CD-RW
User-edited CD-Rs (Recordable) and CD-RWs (Rewritable) can be
played back only if they are already “finalized.”
• The player can play back CD-Rs or CD-RWs recorded on a
personal computer only if it has been recorded in the audio CD
format. (However, they may not be played back depending on
their characteristics or recording conditions.)
• Before playing back CD-Rs or CD-RWs, read their instructions or
cautions carefully.
• Some CD-Rs or CD-RWs may not be played back on this unit
because of their disc characteristics, damage or stain on them, or
if the player’s lens is dirty.
• CD-RWs may require a longer readout time. This is caused by the
fact that the reflectance of CD-RWs is lower than for regular CDs.
