Therefore, when the user finishes the selection and the user presses the play button through the operation panel or the remote control, the songs corresponding to the set values stored in the GPRM are sequentially played in the stored order (ST405 to ST406). In addition, when the reproduction of the pre-selected songs is finished, the music sub-menu is returned or the next reserved song is waited for by calling the sub-menu (ST407 to ST408).

Meanwhile, as shown in FIG. 3, when the user selects the search playback menu of the music submenu through the operation panel or the remote control, the first part of all songs recorded on the disc is circulated for 10 seconds and played according to the user's execution button operation. The entirety of the specific song in the song can also be reproduced (ST310 to ST311).

In other words, when the search and playback menu is selected as shown in Fig. 6, the value of the GPRM is initialized (ST601), and the beginning of the song recorded on the disc is reproduced for 10 seconds (ST602 to ST604) according to the set order. That is, according to the order set in such a manner that the n-th song recorded on the disc is reproduced for 10 seconds and the next song, n + 1-th song, is reproduced for 10 seconds, the first part of all the songs recorded on the disc is reproduced for 10 seconds.

At this time, when the user presses the play button to play the entire song being played, the setting value assigned to the selected song is stored in the GPRM and the whole song is played back (ST605 to ST606). When the entire selected song is played back, the search function returns to the music submenu according to the call of the submenu or the next song, which is the next sequence of the songs stored in the GPRM, is played for 10 seconds again (ST607 to ST608).

In addition, when the user calls the main menu through the operation panel or the remote control during the operation as described above, the user returns to the main menu again and waits for the next selection of the user (ST312).

As described above, the present invention provides a variety of playback methods so that a user can play titles such as music videos, movies, games, educational contents, etc., recorded on multimedia DVDs, according to their tastes, out of the producer-oriented uniform playback method.
