Video CD/Super VCD PBC menus
Some Video CD/Super VCDs have menus from
which you can choose what you want to watch.
These are PBC (Playback control) menus.
You can play a PBC Video CD/Super VCD
without having to navigate the PBC menu by
starting playback using a number button to
select a track, rather than the
(play) button.
Playing cassette tapes
This unit has a tape deck that can be used for
both recording and playback. In addition, it
features automatic music search (AMS) and
auto-reverse functions

a. Track search is unlikely to work reliably if:
– the space between tracks is less than about 4 seconds.
– the recording is noisy so the spaces are not recognized.
– the recording contains frequent silences, such as a lan-
guage study tape.
– the recording contains sections of very quiet material,
such as some classical music recordings.
Searches for the previous / next blank
space between tracks on the side
currently playing (in other words, to the
start of the current / next track), then
resumes playback.
By pressing more than once, the tape
will skip several tracks at once (up to a
maximum of 15). For example, press
twice to skip forward two tracks.
