• If you play an NTSC CD in PAL AUTO mode on a PAL exclusive
TV, the image may be distorted. If this happens change the CD
Player’s TV output mode to “PAL”.
• When you play an NTSC CD in PAL AUTO mode on a
multisystem TV, the image may blink for a moment. This
symptom occurs when the System detects the formula of the CD
and is not a malfunction.
• You can configure the current TV output mode by pressing the
7
button on the Unit for more than 2 seconds during standby mode.
Playing Video CDs with the PBC Function
The System provides Playback Control (PBC) which utilizes
a procedure (menu selection) programed into a VCD.
What is the Playback Control (PBC) function?
PBC allows you to enjoy the following features:
• Menu-Driven Play
You can interact with the TV screen using a menu display
to select and play an entry.
• High resolution still image playback
You can display high-quality images four times clearer than
video pictures.
To use a Karaoke video CD, see page 26.
You can play video CDs with PBC function using the menu
screen (Menu-Driven Play) or without using the menu screen
(Continuous Play).
• The playback operation procedure may differ depending on the
video CD you use.
• Sometimes due to improper manufacturing, video CDs will
function differently.
Playing Video CDs with the PBC Function
without Using the Menu Screen (Continuous
Play)
You can play video CDs with PBC without using the menu
screen, as if the CDs had no PBC function.
