OPERATION
NOTE: Fast search is available when DVD-Audio, MP3 and
WMA discs are playing. Search speeds available may vary for
different types of discs.
• When a DVD 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 Search/Slow Reverse Buttons.
Each additional press of the buttons will cycle the player through one
of the five forward or reverse slow-play speeds, as indicated by the
number of filled-in triangles appearing in the upper right corner of the
screen. 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 processors
cannot process the digital audio streams during slow modes.
Slow-play 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, first press the
Pause Button, then press the Skip/Step (Previous) or Skip/Step (Next)
button repeatedly. Press the Pause or 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,
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 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.
The availability of the Zoom, Repeat, Repeat A-B and Random functions
depends on the type of disc. In addition, the availability of the Player
Information screens and Status Bar 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.
