22 PLAYBACK BASICS FOR ALL FORMATS

Loading Discs

To load discs in the DVD 22, first turn the DVD 22
on by pressing in the

Power On/Off Switch

Power On Button

. Note that the

Power

Indicator

will turn amber when the unit is con-

nected to an AC power source. It will turn blue when
the

Power On Button

is pressed.

Next, press the

Open/Close Button

until the

disc tray opens.

Hold the disc by the edge, and gently place it into the
disc drawer, making certain that the disc is properly
seated in the tray's insert. If the disc is not correctly
centered, you may damage both the disc and the play-
er when the drawer closes. When loading discs, please
note the following:

• The DVD 22 will play discs with the following logos

as well as most DVD-RW or DVD+RW discs. DO
NOT attempt to play another type of disc.

• The DVD 22 will only play discs in the NTSC video

format. It will not play discs for other standards
such as PAL or SECAM.

• Playback capability for CD-RW, DVD-RW, DVD-R,

DVD+RW or DVD+RW discs will vary according to
the quality of the disc. On some occasions it is pos-
sible that these discs may not play on the DVD 22.
This does not indicate any problem with the
DVD 22.

• The DVD 22 will only play discs that are coded for

Region 1 or discs that are open to being played in
all regions. Discs that contain a Region Code of 2,
3, 4, 5 or 6 (as noted by a number inside a world
map logo on the disc’s cover jacket or case)
will not play.

• Both 5-inch (12cm) and 3-inch (8cm) discs

may be used.

• When loading CD audio discs, load the discs

with the label side up.

• When loading DVD discs with printed labels,

load them label side up.

• Some DVD discs are double-sided. The title infor-

mation for these will be printed on the inner ring of
the disc, very close to the center hole. The title for
the side you wish to play should be facing up.

After a disc is properly loaded, press the

Open/Close

Button

to close the disc drawer. After the

drawer closes, you will see a brief indication of

Reading

in both the Information Display and in

the on-screen display to alert you to the fact that the
unit is determining the type of disc (DVD, CD, VCD or
MP3) and is reading the data for track, chapter, title and
other information about the disc.

Once the disc’s data has been read, the type of disc
will be displayed by the

Disc-Type Indicator

and

the disc will automatically begin playing. Types of discs:
DVD-Video, CD, CD-R, CD-RW, VCD, MP3, WMA,
JPEG, DVD+R, DVD-R, DVD+RW, DVD-RW.

• When a DVD is detected, playback will automatically

begin and the screen will show the program or the
disc’s menu, depending on how the disc has been
created.

• If a CD is detected, playback will begin automatically

and the screen will show the Info menu with infor-
mation about the disc, including the number of
tracks and the playback time. To remove this menu
from the screen, press the

Clear Button

. To

remove the video playback and simply listen to
music with no on-screen messages, press the

Video

Off Button

If a disc is already in the drawer when the unit is
turned on, it will begin playing. If the disc was stopped
using the Resume function, playback will begin from
the point where it was stopped. If the disc was
stopped by pressing the

Stop Button

twice,

the disc will begin playing from its beginning.

Playback Features for DVD and CD Discs:

• To momentarily pause playback and freeze the

current picture frame on a DVD, press the

Pause

. To resume playback after pressing

the Pause button, press the

• To move forward or backward through the tracks

on a CD or the chapters on a DVD, press the

Skip

on the front

on the remote.

• To move forward or backward through the DVD

or CD disc being played at fast speed, press the

Search Forward/Reverse Buttons

, or

press the front-panel

Skip/Search Buttons

briefly until fast play begins and then release them.
Once one of these buttons is pressed, the fast
search will continue until the

is pressed. Note that the fast-play speeds are
different for CD discs and DVDs.

For DVD playback, there are four fast-play speeds.
Each press of the

Search Forward/Reverse Buttons

5 6

will cycle to the next speed in the

following order: 2x, 4x, 8x, 16x.

For CD playback, there are two fast-play speeds. Each
press of the

Search Forward/Reverse Buttons

5 6

will cycle to the next speed in the

following order: 5x, 15x.

NOTE:

are playing.

When a DVD is playing, you may move forward or
backward through the disc by first pressing the

Search/Slow Reverse Buttons

. Each press of the buttons will cycle the

player through one of the four slow-play speeds. Press
the

to resume normal playback.

Note that there is no audio playback during fast or
slow-forward or -reverse play of DVD discs. This is
normal for DVD, as A/V receivers and surround
processors cannot process the digital audio streams
during slow modes. Slow-play is not available for
CD discs.

• When a camera icon shows on the screen, or the

Angle Indicator

appears, this is your indication

that there is multiple-angle information on the disc
being played. To change the angle, press the

Angle

Button

until the desired angle view appears.

An on-screen banner message will appear to
indicate the angle view in use.

To illuminate the buttons on the remote control so that
they may be seen in low-light conditions, press the

Light Button
