DISC INFO
Submenu:
This submenu displays
detailed information about the disc content (see Figure
13). You will not be able to make any changes to the
items on this submenu. However, you may use the
Setup
menu system as described on page 23 to

ratio or scan type.
■
Disc:
This line displays the disc type.
■
Disc ID:
If the disc is encoded with an identifica-
tion label, it will appear here.
■
Aspect Ratio:
This line displays the aspect ratio
of the video content on the disc, and the format in
which it is being played back according to the set-
ting established in the
VIDEO SETUP
sub-
menu as shown on page 23. Some discs may
contain two versions of the same program with a
widescreen aspect ratio on one side of the disc,
and a standard aspect ratio on the other.
■
Video Standard:
The disc’s format is shown
here. For Region 1 players, this will normally be
NTSC, although some DVDs that are open region
(playable in all regions) may be in the PAL format.
The DVD 37 will convert the video to the NTSC
format used by your television.
■
Scan Type:
This line displays whether the video
program on the DVD was recorded with a pro-
gressive or interlaced scan rate. It also displays
how the program is being played back, based

Audio Resolution:
This line displays the sample
rate and bit rate for the current audio format.
■
Audio Format:
This line displays the current audio
track, such as Dolby Digital 5.1 or linear PCM.
■
Video Bit Rate:
This line displays the video bit
rate up to the limit of 10 Mbps. This indication will
vary as a disc is played in response to changes in
the amount of compression that was applied to the
video signal when the disc was created. Thus, as
shown in Figure 13, when the disc is stopped or
paused, this line will remain blank.
When you have finished viewing the Player menus,
press the
Info Button
i
to remove the displays
from the screen and return to normal play.
Using the On-Screen Status Display
When a DVD is playing, you may press the

the disc’s playback status. The Status Bar not only
gives you a snapshot of the unit’s current state; it also
provides an easy way to select a different group, title,
chapter or track, or use the time search feature.

Selecting a Title or Group
To select a title or group, first press the

will be highlighted in a blue box.
Press the
Enter Button

the desired title. Press the

icon appears when you attempt to select a new title
(group), this is an indication that the disc does not
allow the title (group) to be changed in this manner,
even though a list of numbers will appear. This is a
function of the way the disc was created and is not a
flaw in the DVD 37. For some discs, press the
Title
Button
U
during playback to change the current
title or group. Some discs will switch to the disc menu,
and some discs may simply restart play from the
beginning of the current title or group. This is a func-
tion of how the disc was authored, and does not
reflect a problem with the DVD 37.

sponding to the chapter or track you wish to view
