Disc structure
DVD VIDEO consists of "titles," and each title may be divided into
some "chapters" (see Example 1).
For example, if DVD VIDEO contains some movies, each movie
may have its own title number and it may be further divided into
some chapters. In DVD VIDEO Karaoke, each song may have its
own title number, but it may not be further divided into chapters.
DVD AUDIO consists of "groups," and each group may be divided
into some "tracks" (see Example 2).
Some DVD AUDIO also contain a "bonus group" that can be played
back by entering the "key number" (a kind of password). Usually
the contents of "bonus group" are not opened to the public.
Note that most DVD AUDIO include other information in addition
to audio, such as still pictures, movies, and text.
VCD, SVCD, and CD consist of "tracks" (see Example 3).
In general, each track has its own track number. (On some discs,
each track may also be divided by Indexes. This unit is not
compatible with Index function.)

Playback Control function (PBC)
The Playback Control function allows you to enjoy menu-driven
operation.
Menu-driven playback
A selection menu is displayed when you start playing VCD and
SVCD with the Playback Control feature. The selection menu shows
a list of numbers for selection. Some discs may show moving
pictures or a divided screen.
You can interact with the screen using a menu display to select and
play an entry.
See the example illustration on the right about basic feature of
menu-driven playback (for details about the operation through the
menu, see also page 33).
Note:
• While operating VCD or SVCD using the menu, some of the
functions such as repeat play may not work.
Example 1: DVD VIDEO
Example 2: DVD AUDIO
