DVD / VCD special functions
(menu operation and navigation)
A DVD may contain a Disc Menu with selection facilities
for individual
titles and / or chapters . Depending on the
DVD, the disc may also contain games, bonus material or
alternatives for camera angle, synchronous languages or
sub-titles, which can be set or called up via the Disc
Menu.
Note:
The contents, appearance and behaviour of the Disc
Menu are dictated and controlled by the disc itself. If you
encounter problems in connection with the Disc Menu,
please contact the manufacturer or retailer of the disc.

Manual CURSOR control
The CURSOR buttons on the remote control handset
   
are used with the DVD 1240 R (HD) both to control the
functions of the mechanism (skip back, skip forward,
search) and also to navigate within menus. The
DVD 1240 R (HD) detects automatically whether you are
operating the disc mechanism or finding your way
through a menu.
A few DVDs, mostly older and quite rare examples, give
the machine no clues whether a menu is currently open,
i. e. they do not pass relevant information to the player.
With these discs the screen display
' INFO INFO INFO INFO ' does not
appear when a menu is open, and it is not possible to
navigate within the menu. In such cases the
DVD 1240 R (HD) can be switched to ' Cursor
Navigation ' mode.
Switching to CURSOR control
Hold the

 

button pressed in until the message
' CURSOR CURSOR CURSOR CURSOR ' appears on the integral screen. Now even
problematic menus can be operated.
Switching off CURSOR control
To revert to normal operation hold the

 

button
pressed in again until the ' CURSOR CURSOR CURSOR CURSOR ' message on the
screen disappears.
Note:
In Cursor mode the buttons of the control button block
carry out menu control functions exclusively.
For normal control of the disc mechanism you must
therefore first leave Cursor mode.
