Menu playback
Application section
When a P.B.C.-compatible VCD containing menus is played and an item is selected in the displayed menu, a menu
with more detailed items may sometimes be 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.
Hierarchical structure of VCD menus :
Hierarchy level 1 (Menu)
Hierarchy level 2
(Submenus)
Hierarchy level 3 (Scenes)
Example of hierarchical structure
To advance in the hierarchy :
When an item is selected in the menu using the
ENTER (Select) key or numeric keys, you can
advance to the menu at the level immediately be-
low 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 key.
¶
When there are multiple menus (scenes) in a hierarchy level, they can be switched over by pressing the
