DVD/VCD special playback modes
This section explains the special playback modes for DVDs and VCDs. The operations described here are
not exactly the same for DVDs and VCDs, but very similar.
Note that many VCDs have a single track, so some operations involving tracks will not be relevant.
Jumping to a particular point
Press the
SRCH
button on the remote control to open the ‘Search’ menu:
If the disc is playing, then the elapsed and total times on the disc are shown in the top
right of the page.
A jump can be performed using different specifiers: jump to a particular time or to a
specified chapter/track on the disc.
Time
Highlight the ‘Time’ field and enter the time in hours, minutes and seconds, then press
OK
. The Search menu is removed from the screen and playback starts from the time
specified. Invalid time entries are ignored.
Title/Chapter
(Applies to DVDs only) To jump to a title or chapter, highlight the title/chapter position and enter the
number of the title/chapter to jump to, before pressing
OK
. It is possible to jump to a chapter within a
different title to the current one by entering a value into both fields. Note that specifying a title without a
chapter will jump to the first chapter in the title.
Group/Track
(Applicable to DVD-audio discs only.) To jump to a group or track, highlight the group/track position and
enter the number of the group/track to jump to, before pressing
OK
. It is possible to jump to a track
within a different group to the current one by entering a value into both fields. Note that specifying a
group without a track will jump to the first track in the group.
Track
(Applies to VCDs only) To jump to a specified track on a VCD, enter the track number in the ‘Track’ field,
then press
OK
. Note that many VCDs have only one track.
Closing the Search menu
When displayed, this menu screen can be closed again by pressing the
SRCH
button (which also has the
effect of cancelling the search).
Special playback modes
Repeat, shuffle or looped (A-B repeat) playback modes are available.
Repeat
Press the
RPT
button on the remote control to cycle through the repeat options. For DVDs, a chapter or
title repeat may be selected (i.e., play continuously the current chapter or the current title). For VCDs, a
track or disc repeat is available.
When a chapter/track repeat is selected, the loop symbol on the front panel display is illuminated and
the current chapter/track is repeated. If a title/disc repeat is selected, the loop symbol and ‘ALL’ are
illuminated and the current title/disc is repeated.
To cancel repeat, press the
RPT
button until ‘Repeat: Off’ is displayed.
Shuffle
Press the
SHUFF
(CR-515) or
RAND
(CR-415) button on the remote control to switch shuffle play on.This
causes the chapters/tracks to be played in random order.
To cancel random play, press the
SHUFF
(CR-515) or
RAND
(CR-415) button for a second time.
A-B repeat
The DV137 can repeat a specific section of a DVD or VCD; this is called an A-B repeat.
To perform an A-B repeat, wait until the disc is at the point where you want the repeat to start, then
press
A-B
. The OSD shows a repeat symbol, followed by ‘A–’, and the front panel shows ‘A–’.
Press
A-B
again at the point you want the repeat to end. The repeat symbol, followed by ‘A-B’ is shown
on the display device, and the front panel shows ‘A-B’. The selected section is repeated in a loop.
To cancel the A-B repeat, press
A-B
again. An ‘Off’ message is displayed on the OSD.
