PBC function for Video CDs
This unit conforms to ver.1.1 and ver.2.0 of the Video 
CD standard playback control (PBC) function. This 
enables you to play back interactive software using 
menu screens. Refer to the information 
accompanying the Video CD.
Ver.1.1 (without PBC function): You can still enjoy 
playback of pictures and music from the CD.
Ver.2.0 (with PBC function): “Pbc” will appear on the 
front panel display when playing back a Video CD 
with the PBC function.
Hint
• When playing back Video CDs with the PBC 
function, “Pbc” is displayed instead of the playing 
back time and current track indications on the front 
panel display. 
Note
• Some operations cannot be performed unless the 
function is cancelled either automatically or 
intentionally by you.
• Operations that are not available when the PBC 
function is set to “On” are indicated by the following 
symbol in this manual:
