You can enter a sequence of up to 20 title/chapter combinations for 
programmed playback. If you enter data that is invalid for the current 
disc, the field is erased automatically.

A number of aids have been built in to the programme menu to make 
it easier to use. These are best illustrated by an example. Let’s assume 
that you want to play chapters 5, 7, 9, 4, 8, 3, and 1 (in that order) of 
title 1, then all of title 2.

First,  highlight  the  title  position  for  the  first  programmed  item  (as 
shown in the screen above). Then press the number 

1

 on the remote 

control: ‘1’ is shown in the position. Using the remote control, press 

  to  highlight  the  chapter  position. The  message  at  the  bottom  of 

the  screen  changes  accordingly,  prompting  you  for  the  required 
information. Press 

5

 on the remote handset.

Since we have a number of chapters all from the same title, it would 
be a lot of work to have to enter the title number each time. Press   
on the remote handset. Notice that the player assumes that the title 
number remains the same for this entry as for the previous one. Enter 
the remaining chapter numbers, pressing   after each one. (Note that 
pressing   at the bottom of a column places the cursor at the top of 
the next column.)

Next, we want to specify all of title 2. For this, highlight the title position 
of the next entry (entry 8) and enter the number 

2

, indicating title 2. 

Highlight the chapter position and, without entering any number, press 

. The player fills in the text ‘All’ to indicate that all the chapters in title 

2 will be played.

DVD-AUDIO

The programming of a sequence for a DVD-audio disc is essentially 
the same as for a DVD-video disc, and the instructions given above 
should  be  followed.  For  DVD-audio  discs,  the “titles  with  chapters” 
combination  found  on  DVD-video  discs  changes  to  “groups  with 
tracks”.

VCD

The bottom of the screen shows the number of tracks present on the 
disc. Below this is an information line, giving relevant information for 
the cursor position. 

You can enter a sequence of up to 20 tracks for programmed playback. 
If you enter data that is invalid for the current disc, the field is erased 
automatically. 

To program the player, highlight the first entry (using the cursor pad on 
the remote control), then press the number of the track you want to 
play first. To enter a second track, move down, then type the number 
of the second track to play, etc. To enter a track number greater than 
9, press the two digits sequentially (e.g., for track 10, first press 

1

, then 

press 

0

).

To play the programme you have entered, highlight the 

PLAY

 button 

on the screen and press 

OK

. The ‘PROG’ indicator shows on the front 

panel display and the programmed sequence begins. 

If you make a mistake while programming, you can clear a single field 
by  highlighting  it  and  pressing 

CLEAR

. To  clear  all  the  fields  at  once, 

highlight the ‘CLEAR ALL’ button on the screen and press 

OK

.

To  stop  the  programmed  sequence  and  return  to  normal  playback, 
select the ‘PLAY’ button in the programme menu with no programme 
specified. This  clears  programme  mode  and  causes  normal  playback 
order to be resumed.

Note that in programmed playback mode, skipping track forward or 
back skips forward or back through the programmed sequence.

GENERAL

To play the programme you have entered, highlight the ‘PLAY’ button 
on the screen and press
