Introduction

Most of the features described in this
chapter make use of on-screen displays.
Navigate these using the cursor buttons and

ENTER

. To go back one level from any

screen, use the

RETURN

button.

Remember also that the button guide at the
bottom of every screen shows which buttons
do what.

Many of the functions covered in this
chapter apply to the HDD, DVD discs, Video
CDs, Super VCDs, WMA/MP3/DivX discs
and CDs, although the exact operation of
some varies slightly with the kind of disc
loaded.

• Many functions are not available when a

Video CD is playing in PBC mode. Start
playback from the Disc Navigator screen
for non-PBC playback (see

Using the

Disc Navigator with playback-only discs

on page 68).

• For discs that contain JPEG picture files,

see

The PhotoViewer

on page 100.

Basic playback

This section shows you how to use your
recorder for playback of discs (DVD, CD,
etc.), and for playback of video from the
HDD.

Important

• Throughout this manual, the term ‘DVD’

means any kind of playable or recordable
DVD. If a function is specific to a
particular kind of DVD disc, it is
specified.

• Some DVD-Video, DVD+R and

DVD+RW discs don’t allow certain
playback controls to operate at certain
points in the disc. This is not a
malfunction.

Select the HDD or DVD for

playback.

If playing video from the HDD, skip to step

below.

Select DVD for any kind of disc playback.

[Front panel] Load a disc.

Load a disc with the label side facing up,
using the disc tray guide to align the disc (if
you’re loading a double-sided DVD-Video
disc, load it with the side you want to play
face down).

• If you want to play a DTS audio CD,

please first read the note on page 65.

Start playback.

• If you’re playing a DVD-Video or Video

CD, a disc menu may appear when you
start playback. Use the

///

buttons and

ENTER

to navigate DVD disc

menus, and the number buttons and

ENTER

for Video CD menus.

• When playing video from the HDD,

playback will automatically stop after the
end of a title is reached.

playback switches from the first to the
second layer of a dual-layer disc.

• See the following sections for more

details on playing specific kinds of discs.

Press to stop playback.
