What disc types can be played on a CD-i player?
In general, a CD-i player only plays discs that incorporate a dedicated application program that was designed for CD-i’s operating system and hardware components. For some disc types, such as Video-CDs, Photo-CDs and CD-BGM, this CD-i application is a mandatory part of the disc’s specification. This means that in order for a Video-CD to bear the Video-CD logo, it must contain a CD-i application, and it must be able to be played back on a CD-i player. Next to this, the CD-i standard requires the player to be able to play back standard CD-Audio discs. Most players (including all Philips consumer models) are able to display the graphic contents of CD+Graphics discs, although this is not a requirement of the CD-i standard. In conclusion, a CD-i player plays CD-Audio, CD-i, CD-BGM, CD-ROM/XA Bridge discs like Photo-CD and Video-CD, and most of them play CD+Graphics as well. Please refer to the Disc Types section for more information on the various CD systems that can or cannot be played on
