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.
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 infomation 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.
