Channels

Shows the current channel or input. To watch TV, press OK when the Channels menu is highlighted (the channel banner appears to show you channel, audio selection, and the current mode, such as Live, Delayed, Pause, etc.).

Disc Menu

You can only access the disc menu when you’ve inserted a compatible disc into the Digital Media Recorder. The submenus follow:

Start: starts playing the disc.

Screen format: the setting you choose adjusts the way a movie appears on your TV (DVD discs only). Standard TVs are 4 x 3 format. Depending on the type of television you have, you may want to adjust the screen setting (also called the aspect ratio). The choices follow:

4 x 3 Standard Choose this setting if you want the movie to fill the entire screen of your TV. This might mean that parts of the picture (the left and right edges) won’t be seen. Most discs that are produced in a widescreen format only can’t be cropped in this fashion. This means the black bars might appear at the left and right sides of the screen.

4 x 3 Letterbox Choose this setting if you want to see movies in their original aspect ratio (height-to-width ratio). You’ll see the entire frame of the movie, but it will take up a smaller portion of the screen vertically. The movie might appear with black bars at the top and bottom of the screen.

16 x 9 Choose this setting if your Digital Media Recorder is connected to a widescreen TV. If you choose this setting and you don’t have a widescreen TV, the images on the screen might appear distorted due to vertical compression. If you play a disc recorded in 4 x 3 format on a widescreen TV, the left and right sides of the screen will appear black.

Save: available when you’ve inserted a CD (with MP3 or JPEG files on it), and enables you to transfer the content from the disc to the Digital Media Recorder’s hard disk drive.

Playlist (available for Audio CDs only): You can create a customized playlist just like you can with many CD players where you rearrange the order in which the songs play. The playlist is played via the Program Play option in the Info Display (go to page 37 for more information). To set up a playlist, follow the on-screen instructions.

Autoplay: When you select On, a disc immediately starts playing after you insert it into the player (there’s no need to press the PLAY button).

DVD Menu: available when you’ve inserted a DVD disc that has its own menu. Press OK to access the disc’s menu.

DVD Title: less common than DVD disc menus, some discs have Title Menus — the DVD might have more than one title and each title might have a separate menu for each movie or program.
