Playing Video CDs
What is a Video CD?
Like DVD video discs, Video CDs contain picture and sound content. Video CDs (VCDs) are
encoded in a different format. VCDs don’t hold as much information as DVD discs and the picture
quality is not as high.
VCDs are divided into tracks, and each track is divided into indexes. A track is similar to a title and
an index is similar to a chapter.
Loading and Playing a Video CD
Before you load a disc, make sure that it is compatible with the player. Note that the following
discs CANNOT be used with this player:
• Laserdiscs
• CD-I, CD-ROM (computer-only discs), CD-R, CD-RW, DVD-ROM
• Discs recorded using other broadcast standards (i.e. PAL or SECAM)
• CD-G discs play audio only, not graphics
The Video CD Disc Menu
A Video CD disc is capable of having an on-screen menu that is separate from the DVD player’s
menu system and on-screen information banners. If the disc has a menu, the menu will appear
after the disc is loaded into the player.
The content and operation of disc menus varies from disc to disc. Check the instructions that
accompany the Video CD for more information on how to use the playback control functions for
that specific disc.
If a disc menu appears:
1. Use the number buttons on the remote to select a track (similar to a title).
2. Press OK or PLAY on the remote to begin playback of the selected track.
3. Press SKIP+ or SKIP- on the remote to scroll through the tracks.
4. Press the MENU button on the remote to stop playback and return to the disc menu, or press
STOP and MENU to stop playback and bring up the DVD player menu.
To bring up the disc menu during disc play, press the MENU button on the remote.
