JVC XL-V151 display: bug or feature?

I liked the look of this JVC player from 1991, and since the repair didn't take long I decided to try some modifications to the display. Speaking of the display, it confused me by having a strange default behaviour after a disc is loaded. In the meantime I was finding a number of dead ladybirds - the second time I've had a bug infestation in a JVC CD player (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DHBww7c7z7Q). Why not see if you can guess how many I find in total? Outro music: Calvary by TrackTribe
