Advanced Cd And Vcd Features; Jumping To A Particular Point; Special Playback Modes - Arcam DV27 Handbook

Advanced CD and VCD features

This section explains the more sophisticated CD and VCD features,
such as special playback modes. The operations described here differ
slightly from DVD but are similar for CDs and VCDs. Note that many
VCDs have a single track, so some operations involving tracks are not
appropriate for VCDs.
Many of these advanced features use on-screen menus, so a TV
monitor is required.
