supplied with a PBC function, all the tracks
are played continuously until the source is
changed or the disc is ejected.

ing the disc, refer to section “Operations
with the disc menu” on page 26 for fur-
ther information.The following symbols are used to indicate
playable discs:

eration is not allowed.
