About VR format discs

The player can play back DVD-RAM and DVD-RW discs written in the VR format. We refer to such discs as a “VR format disc” in this manual.

What you cannot do with VR format discs

Note that the following operations cannot be made with VR format discs:

Resuming playback with the resume mode set to “DISC

RESUME”

Advancing a still picture frame by frame

Reversing slow motion playback

Replaying the previous scenes (one touch replay function)

Locating a desired position by specifying the time (time search)

NOTES

There are two types of commercially available DVD-RAM discs; one with a cartridge and the other without a cartridge.

The player can play back DVD-RAM discs without a cartridge, and discs with a cartridge that can be removed from their cartridge (Type 2 and Type 4).

Some discs may not play due to disc characteristics or recording conditions.

Basic operations

Original playback

In original playback, contents on a VR format disc are played back in the order the contents are recorded.

When inserting a VR format disc, after the disc contents are read, the original playback starts.

When the last program has been played back, the player stops playback automatically.

To stop in the middle of playback

Press 7.

Playback is interrupted.

If the resume mode is set to “ON,” the player memorizes the interrupted position.

The TV screen shows [RESUME STOP] and the display window shows [--RESUME].

NOTES

The “DISC RESUME” mode is not available for VR format discs. Even if you set [RESUME] to [DISC RESUME], the resume mode will be the same as when [RESUME] is set to [ON].

With [RESUME] set to [ON], the player memorizes the position where you interrupted playback, but the memory will be cleared if you turn off the player.

To resume playback

Press 3 (SELECT).

If [RESUME] is set to [ON] and an interrupted position is memorized, playback re-starts from the interrupted position. If no interrupted position is memorized, or [RESUME] is set to [OFF], playback re-starts from the beginning of the title 1.

To select the next or previous title in stop mode

Press ¢ or 4.

The next or previous title will be selected. In this case, press 3 (SELECT) to start playback of the selected title.

To select the next or previous chapter/title during playback

Press ¢ to skip to the next chapter (if a title is divided into chapters) or to the next title.
