OPERATION
Reverse Buttons on the front panel or the Previous/Next Buttons
on the remote.
• To move forward or backward through a DVD, SACD or CD disc being
played at fast speed, press the Search Forward/Reverse Buttons on
the remote, or press and hold the front-panel Skip/Search Buttons
briefly until fast play begins and then release them. Once one of these
buttons is pressed, fast search will continue until the Play Button
is pressed. Each additional press of the Search Forward/Reverse
Buttons will cycle through the six available fast-search speeds:
~1-1/2x, 4x, 6x, 8x, 16x, 32x.
NOTE:
Fast search is available when DVD-Audio and MP3
and discs are playing, but not for WMA and JPEG discs. Search
speeds available may vary for different types of discs.
• When a DVD or VCD is playing, you may move forward or backward
through the disc in slow motion by first pressing the Pause Button and
then pressing the Search/Slow Forward or Reverse Buttons. Each
additional press of the buttons will cycle the player through one of the
four forward slow-play speeds: 1/2x, 1/4x, 1/8x or 1/16x, or one
of the three reverse slow-play speeds (DVD only): 1/2x, 1/4x or 1/8x.
Press the Play Button to resume normal playback.
NOTE:
There is no audio playback during fast or slow-forward
or -reverse play. This is normal for DVDs, as surround proces-
sors cannot process the digital audio streams during slow
modes. Slow-play forward is available for VCDs, but not for
audio CDs, MP3s or WMAs. Slow-play speeds may vary for
different types of discs.
• To advance frame by frame while a DVD is playing, press the Pause
Button. Each additional press of the Pause Button will advance one
frame. Press the Play Button to resume normal play. Frame-by-frame
movement in reverse is not available.
NOTE:
Playback of a disc with 96kHz/24-bit audio requires the
use of circuitry normally used for other features. Accordingly, the
Slow Play Reverse and Step Advance features are not available
with these discs.
• When a camera icon appears on screen, or the Angle Indicator
appears on the front panel, it indicates that there is multiple-angle
information on the disc being played. To change the angle, press
the Angle Button repeatedly until the desired angle view appears.
An on-screen message will indicate the current angle view.
• To illuminate the buttons on the remote control so that they may be
seen in low-light conditions, press the Light Button.
The availability of the Zoom, Repeat, Repeat A-B and Random functions
depends on the type of disc. In addition, the availability of the Media
Player screens and Status DIsplay vary from one disc type to another.
These features are described in the following sections describing play-
back of DVDs, CDs, MP3s, WMAs, JPEGs and VCDs. Programming
playlists is explained after the section on VCDs.
Video Off Feature
The Video Off feature is available at all times, and is recommended
during playback of audio-only discs, such as SACD, CD, DVD-Audio,
MP3 or WMA discs. Although the video circuitry is electrically isolated
from the audio section, some users may prefer to turn the video
displays off during audio playback to prevent any possibility of interfer-
ence between audio and video. You may also wish to turn the video
display off if you find the menu system distracting or unnecessary
during audio playback.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
It is strongly recommended that plasma
and CRT video display owners use the Video Off feature to
avoid burn-in, especially as some audio discs display still
images continuously, and the DVD 48’s on-screen setup menus
may remain in view indefinitely.
To turn the video displays off while an audio disc is playing,
press the Video Off Button. Press the button again to restore the
video output. The V-Off Indicator will light in red to remind you
that the video displays have been turned off. The video output
will automatically be restored each time the DVD 48 is turned on.
