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.
Jumping to a particular part of the disc
Press the SEARCH button on the remote control to open the
‘Search’ menu:

The elapsed time on the disc is shown in the top right of the
page (e.g. 0:00:17).
There are two ways of accessing a specifi c part of a CD or
VCD: Time and Track.
Time
Highlight the Time fi eld, enter the time in hours, minutes and
seconds, and press OK. Invalid time entries are ignored.
Track
Highlight the Track fi eld, enter the track number and press OK.
Note that VCDs are likely to have only one track.
Special playback modes
There are some special playback modes available that allow
repeat, random play and programmed playback.
To set Repeat or Random playback, press the
P MODE button

through ‘Off’, ‘Track’ and ‘All’. Press P MODE to exit and to
start playing.
When ‘Repeat: Track’ is set, the loop symbol lights in the display
and the current track is repeated. When ‘Repeat: All’ is set,
the loop symbol and ‘ALL’ lights in the display and the whole
disc is repeated.
To cancel repeat, press
STOP or return to the ‘Play mode’ menu
and switch it off.
Note that the ‘Repeat: Track/All’ modes can be directly
controlled by pressing
RPT on the remote control.
Random
Use the cursor pad to highlight the ‘Random’ fi eld, and toggle
between ‘Off’ and ‘On’. Press P MODE to exit and to start
playing.
The ‘RAND’ indicator shows in the display, and the tracks are
played in random order.

menu and switch it off.
