of the 

‹‹

or

Indicator

S

will remain steadily lit.

Note that there is no audio playback during
slow-forward or -reverse play of DVD discs. This
is normal for DVD, as A/V receivers and sur-
round processors cannot process the digital
audio streams during slow modes. Slow play is
not available for CD discs.

■

and the 

Angle Indicator

H
