• The unit may not play a CD-R/RW disc that is recorded
on personal computers or some kinds of CD-R/RW
recorders because of differences in recording
platforms.
• Do not attach any seal or label to either side (the
recordable side or the labeled side) of a CD-R/RW
disc. It may cause malfunction.
• This unit cannot play other types of discs such as CD-
Is, CD-ROMs, PHOTO CDs or DVD-ROMs.
• Do not use irregular shaped CDs such as heart-
shaped or octagonal discs. It may damage both the
unit and the disc.
Types of video CDs
There are two types of video CDs.
Video CDs equipped with PBC (Version 2.0)
PBC (playback control) allows you to interact with the
system via menus, search functions or other typical
computer-like operations. Moreover, still pictures of high
resolution can be played, if they are included in the
disc.
Video CDs not equipped with PBC (Version
1.1)
Operated in the same way as audio CDs, these discs
allow playback of video pictures as well as sound, but
PBC (Version 1.1) does not allows you to interact with
the system via menus.
In some cases, you may want to play back VCDs
equipped with PBC, with the PBC feature off. This is
because some disc playback features can only be used
for VCDs without PBC. See "Playing a VCD without
Using PlayBack Control", page 37.
