S-VCD/VCD features
You can recognise S-VCD/VCDs (video CDs) by the logo on the
label.
Depending on the contents of the S-VCDs/VCDs (films, music
videos etc.), the discs may carry one or more tracks.
Like audio CDs, VCDs/S-VCDs also have a track structure.
You can create VCDs/S-VCDs using the PBC (playback control)
system for track navigation. This depends on the editing and burn-
ing software used.
You can control and direct playback of the S-VCD/VCD using the
menu of the DVD player on the television screen.
You cannot select some of the functions on the DVD player (slow
motion, camera angle, marking scenes) when you are playing an
S-VCD/VCD. This depends on how the S-VCD/VCD was created.
Depending on how they were created, S-VCDs can have various
subtitles and dubbed languages.
PBC (playback control)
PBC is a navigation option for S-VCD/VCDs. PBC information is
burned onto the disc when it is manufactured. PBC switches be-
tween the playlist structure (the menu on the S-VCD/VCD) and man-
ual selection by the user.
PBC is activated when it is ready for delivery. PBC and program in-
formation on the S-VCD/VCD specify the navigation options. If the
disc has PBC, »PBC« appears in the display.
If PBC is switched off, the S-VCD/VCD is just like an audio CD (with
tracks) with regard to navigation. You can select a track by using
»
1 … 0«, »5« or »6«, press »8« to start playback and press
»
7« to end playback.
Switching PBC (playback control) on and off
1 Switch off the PBC function during playback with ». MENU«.
– Display: »PBC off«.
2 Switch on the PBC function during playback with ». MENU«.
– Display: »PBC on«.
