MP3 Disc Playback
When the DVD600IIreads a disc and recognizes
it as an MP3 disc, no 
Disc Type Indicator 
will light; however, a listing of all the directories
and tracks on the disc will appear on the video
screen. (Figure 23). Note that the right side of
the screen will initially be blank, as that is used
for programming playlists for MP3 playback. The
black box in the upper left corner of the screen
will show the Play symbol while a track is play-
ing, or the Play/Pause symbol when a track has
been paused, or no symbol when the unit is in
Stop mode. The box in the top center of the dis-
play will contain the file name of the currently
selected track.
The second row of boxes will display, from left
to right, an indication of whether the current
mode is Standard Play, Random Play or Repeat
Play; the track number currently playing, and the
elapsed time of the current track.
Figure 23
To play a track, press the 
⁄/¤Navigation
Buttons 
yuntil the desired track name
is highlighted. If the list of tracks is longer than
will fit on the screen, a 
⁄or ¤indicator will
appear at the top or bottom of the track list to
remind you that you may scroll through the list
to see additional titles.
To begin playback, press the 
Play/Pause
Button 
or the Enter Button.
During MP3 playback most of the standard
CD/DVD playback controls operate in their 
normal fashion:
•You may skip forward to the next track on the
disc by pressing the 
Next Button .
•You may skip back to the previous track on the
disc by pressing the 
Previous Button .
•Press the
Pause Button to momentarily
stop playback. Press it again to resume play.
•Press the 
Enter Buttonto begin play, or
to restart play of the current track from the
beginning.
NOTES ON MP3 PLAYBACK
•The Fast Forward and Reverse Search modes
are not available during MP3 playback.
•During MP3 playback the 
Program Time
Indicators will show the elapsed time of
the track being played. Other time display
options are not available with MP3 playback. 
•The DVD600
IIis only compatible with stan-
dard MP3-encoded discs. Other compressed
audio formats used for Internet audio down-
loads will not play on the DVD600
II.
•Due to the differences in various versions of
the MP3 format, and the many differences
between the CD-R machines used to record
MP3 discs on a computer, it is possible that
some MP3 discs may not play on the
DVD600
IIeven though they will work on a
computer. This is normal and does not 
indicate a fault with the unit.
•When a multisession disc with both standard
CD audio and MP3 content is in use, the 
DVD600
IIwill play only the CD audio sections
of the disc.
•When an MP3 disc with multiple directories
is playing, the DVD600
IIwill search out all
MP3 files on the disc and list them in the on-
screen display in the order in which the direc-
tories are structured on the disc. Note that if
the same title is used for tracks in different
directories, this may result in the same 
title appearing more than once in the track
listings.
Programmed Playback of MP3 Discs
The DVD600IIis capable of creating playlists up
to 130 tracks long with the MP3 files on a prop-
erly recorded disc. To create a playback list for
MP3 titles, follow these steps:
Step 1: Load a compatible MP3 disc, but do not
put it into 
playor stop playif it begins automati-
cally.
Step 2: Press the
Program Button to open
a playlist. The screen will change to Program
Play Mode, as indicated in the upper left corner
of Figure 24. The 
Program Indicator will
also light in the 
Information Display .

Enter Button.
Note that the track name will now appear on
the right side of the screen.
Step 4: Repeat the step above until all desired
tracks are added to the playlist.
Step 5: To remove a track from the playlist, first
press the 
‹/›Navigation Buttons `so that the highlight moves to the right side of the
screen under the 
PROGRAMlisting. Use the
⁄/¤Navigation Buttons yto high-
light the track to be deleted and press the 
Clear
Button 
.
Step 6: To clear all the tracks in the playlist and
start over, press the 
‹/›Navigation Buttons
`until the ALL CLEARbox at the
bottom of the right side of the screen is high-
lighted and press the 
Enter Button . 
Step 7: To play the tracks on the list, press the
Play/Pause Button . 
Once a playlist is created, it will remain avail-
able as long as the disc is not changed or the
power turned off. You may play any track on the
disc without erasing the playlist by pressing the 
‹/›Navigation Buttons `/to return
the highlight bar to the left side of the screen  
Repeat Playback of MP3 Discs
Repeat playback operation for MP3 discs differs
somewhat from the steps used for repeat play-
back of standard DVD discs. Press the 
Repeat
Button
to cycle through the following
options, which will be displayed on the screen:
Repeat All Discs, Repeat 1
Disc
, Repeat 1 Folder,

The Repeat Indicatorswill also light to
reflect the current mode. The Repeat A–B func-
tion is not available for MP3 discs.
For Random Play of the files on the MP3 disc,
press the 
Random Buttonto toggle
between Random Play and Standard Play, as
displayed on the screen.
VCD Playback
VCD is a format that predates DVD which is
based on a different compression format than
DVD and a recording method that is similar to
CDs. Although the DVD has, for the most part,
replaced VCD as a format, the DVD600
IIoffers
VCD playback so that you may play your existing
library of VCD discs. 
(continued) 
						

							62
Operating the DVD600IIDVD Changer
There are two versions of the VCD format: an
early version which is simply called “VCD” and
a later version with Playback Control which is
called “Version 2.0” or “PBC”. The DVD600
IIis
compatible with both forms of VCD, although
playback will vary according to which version 
is used and the specific way in which the disc
was created.
However, the DVD600
IIis not capable of playing
SVCD (Super Video CD) discs. Also, do not con-
fuse the Video CD format with the photo CDs
that you may receive when developing a roll of
film. Photo CDs may not be viewed using the
DVD600
II. 
Even though VCD discs provide video, since the
format is based on CD technology, the playback
functions for a VCD disc operate very closely to
those for CD. To play a VCD disc, place it in the
DVD600
IIas you would any other CD or DVD
disc. After the unit takes a few seconds to read
the disc’s contents the VCD segment of the
Disc Type Indicators will light and the
disc will begin playing. If the disc has been cre-
ated under VCD Version 2.0, or if it otherwise
allows Playback Control functionality, the letters
PBC will appear in the Title/Track Indicators 
.However, keep in mind that the exact
level of functionality for any VCD will vary wide-
ly and it is ultimately determined by the way the
disc was created, not by the DVD600
II.
When playing VCD discs, most standard
DVD/CD playback controls function as normal,
including Play, Stop, Pause, Forward or Reverse
Slow Play, and Fast Forward or Reverse Search
(x2, 4x and 8x speeds). The indications for fast
play in either direction work as described for CD
playback.
Using the On-Screen Status Bar 
for VCD Playback
When playing many VCD discs, it is possible to
access the disc’s features using the on screen
menu bar in the same manner as shown for CD
playback. Note, however, that the while the
IntroScan icons will appear in the menu bar, the
IntroScan feature is not available for VCD discs. 
Use of other functions will vary according to the
disc type. With some VCD discs, you may select
a track using the Track function on the menu
bar. If the menu bar is not visible on the screen
press the 
Status Button eto recall it to the
screen. Note that when 
PBCappears under
the disc icon in the far left position of the menu
bar it is not possible to change track numbers
directly. 
Depending on the disc’s functionality, some VCD
discs allow the time display to be changed in
the same manner as described for CD discs.
Playback Control
VCD discs made under the Revision 2.0 specifi-
cation will usually offer PBC, or playback control.
With PBC many discs include chapter selection
menus that are similar to those found on DVDs.
However, on VCD discs the menus are recalled
and controlled differently than on DVD discs.
•To view the menu options on a PBC disc,
press the 
Next or Previous buttons on the remote or the Skip Forward/
Reverse Buttons on the front panel.•Once the menu options appear on the screen,
make your selection by pressing the 
Numeric
Button -that corresponds
to your desired choice. The desired selection
will begin playingautomatically.
Note that the Menu Button used during DVD
playback is not used for VCD playback.

type for the position selected, the heading over
the box will indicate “Track” for CD discs and
“Title” for DVD discs. The number in parenthe-
ses under the box shows the maximum 
number of tracks or titles on the disc. If “99”
appears, it indicates that the disc selected has
not yet been played and the unit does not yet
know the type of disc and how many titles or
tracks are available.
4. Press the ⁄/¤Buttons yto scroll
through the list of available tracks or titles.
Press the 
Enter Buttonor ›Button

Note that most DVD movie discs use “Title 1”
for movies, while “Title 2” is used for the open-
ing logos and piracy warnings. Before selecting
a DVD title number, you may wish to preview
the disc while the on-screen Menu Bar is active
to see which title numbers refer to each portion
of the disc. This is particularly important in discs
with large amounts of special feature material.
