JBL DVD280 manual Using a DVD’s Menu, Playback Features for DVD and CD Discs

Basic playback with the DVD280 involves functions similar to those you may be familiar with for conven- tional CD players or changers:

•Turn the DVD280 on by first pressing in the Main Power On/Off Switch

and then pressing the Power On Button 2 0.

•If a disc is already in the drawer when the unit is turned on, it will begin playing. If the disc was stopped using the Resume function, you will be prompted to select whether to resume playback from the point at which it was stopped, or to play the disc from the beginning. If the disc was stopped by pressing the Stop Button 7D twice, the disc will play from its beginning.

•After loading a disc, press the Eject Button 44 to close the drawer and begin play.

Playback Features for DVD and CD Discs:

•To momentarily pause playback and freeze the current picture frame on a DVD, press the Pause Button

69. To resume playback after pressing the Pause button, press the Play Button 5B.

•To move forward or backward through the tracks on a CD or the chapters on a DVD, press the

Skip Previous/Next Buttons 89AQ.

•To move forward or backward through the DVD or CD disc being played at fast speed, press the

Search/Slow Forward/Reverse Buttons CP. Once one of these buttons is pressed, the fast search will continue until the Play Button 5B is pressed. Note that the fast-play speeds are different for CD discs and DVDs.

•For DVD playback, there are four fast-play speeds. Each press of the

Search/Slow Forward/Reverse Buttons CP will cycle to the next speed in the following order: 2x, 16x, 64x, 200x.

•Note that there will be no audio playback during fast-forward or reverse-play of DVD discs. This is normal for DVD, as A/V receivers and surround processors cannot process the digital audio streams during fast-play modes; audio will

be heard during fast-play of conven- tional CDs.

•For CD, VCD and SVCD playback, there are two fast-play speeds. Each press of the Search/Slow

Forward/Reverse Buttons CP will cycle to the next speed in the following order: 4x, 32x.

•NOTE: Fast-Search is not available when MP3 or WMA discs are playing.

•When playing a DVD disc, you may move forward or backward through the program being played in one of four slow-motion speeds by first pressing the Pause Button 9, and then pressing the Search/Slow

Forward/Reverse Buttons LN on the remote. Each press of the buttons will move to the next speed in the following order: 1/2x, 1/4x, 1/8x, 1/16x.

•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 surround processors cannot process the digital audio streams during slow modes. Slow-play is not available for CD, MP3 or WMA discs. For VCD and SVCD discs, there are two forward slow-play speeds: 1/2x

and 1/4x.

•To advance frame-by-frame forward or reverse while a DVD is playing, first press the Pause Button 69, then press the Skip/Step (Previous) 8A or Skip/Step (Next) 9Q buttons repeatedly. Press the Pause Button 69 again to resume nor- mal play.

•When a camera icon appears on the screen, and the Angle Indicator I flashes, this is your indication that there is multiple-angle information on the disc being played. To change the angle, press the Angle Button M repeatedly until the desired angle view appears. An on-screen banner message will appear to indi- cate the angle view in use.

To illuminate the buttons on the remote control so that they may be seen in low-light conditions, press the Light Button J.

Using a DVD’s Menu

One of the unique features of the DVD system is that it offers a producer the opportunity to include a wide range of features on a disc, including multi- ple-language tracks; subtitles in a variety of languages; special informa- tion such as movie trailers and cast information; as well as other cus- tomized information. In addition, pro- ducers may divide a movie or pro- gram into chapters that allow for quick access to specific parts of the program. These chapters may be accompanied by thumbnail pictures of a scene from the specific chapter to help you select the desired spot on the disc.

When a disc is playing, press the

Disc Menu Button to pause the playback and display the disc’s menu. As there are no hard rules about style and content for DVD menus, the way they appear on the screen and the information they contain will vary from one disc to another. However, the following general rules apply to most menus:

•The first menu that appears is the Main Menu, and you may move through the options with the Navigation ⁄/¤/‹/› Buttons fh, as the disc’s programming allows. The option selected will typi- cally be highlighted in a certain color or inside an outline box.

•To select a highlighted option, which may either play a portion of the disc or move to a submenu, press the Enter Button i or Play Button 5B.

•On some discs, when you select the DVD menu during the playback of a movie, the disc will return to the point in the program at which the menu was selected by offering a “Play Movie” option. Press the Enter Button i or Play Button

5B to resume play. However, not all discs offer this feature, and selecting the menu while playing a movie may mean that you will have to go back either to the beginning of the program or to the start of a chapter. This feature is out of the control of the DVD280, as it is set by the disc’s internal programming.
