What is an index?

It is the division of a track or disc into numbered
sections. It allows you to easily locate a desired point on
the disc. To determine whether or not a disc has an
index, look at the disc’s packaging.

Note

If there are no more indexes while playing a VIDEO CD,
”

 CANNOT OPERATE NOW” appears on the TV screen

and the player continues playing.
