will be scanned to the beginning of the next program.
Scanning stops automatically when the beginning is reached
and the player switches back to the previous function mode
with standard play (CAV) discs; with extended play (CLV)
discs however, it switches to the normal play mode. Release
the SCAN key at this point; scanning will not continue,
even if you keep the key depressed. Likewise, if you wish
to return to the beginning of a chapter being played, dis­
play the chapter number on the TV screen and press the
left end of the SCAN key. Release the key when the begin ­
ning of the chapter is reached.
