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 multiple- language tracks; subtitles in a variety of languages; special information such as movie trailers and cast information; as well as other customized information. In addition, producers may divide a movie or program 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

Oto pause the playback and display the disc’s menu. As there are no hard rules about style and contents 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:

You may move through the options on a menu with the M NKLNavigation Buttons 4, as the disc’s programming allows. The option selected will typically 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 y or the Play Button 27.

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 where the menu was selected by offering a “Play Movie” option. Press the Enter Button y or Play Button 27 to resume play. However, not all discs offer this feature, and selecting the menu while playing a movie may mean that you will either have to go back to the beginning of the program or the start of a chapter. This feature is out of the control of the DVD 22, as it is set by the disc’s internal programming.

Important Notes on DVD Playback

The DVD 22 is capable of all the features and options covered by the DVD standards. However, it is up to the producer of a DVD disc to decide which of those features and functions are available on any given disc. For that reason, not all discs will function identically, and some discs will not have many of the features of the DVD system. For example, most current DVD discs do not take advantage of the multiple-angle feature. When you press a button and the player displays the “Feature Prohibited” icon “ ”, this is an indication that the disc has not been programmed for that feature.

In addition, it is common for the producers of DVD discs to block the use of certain functions during only some parts of a disc. For example, many discs prohibit the use of fast-play buttons or prohibit access to the Chapter Menu display during the playback of copyright notices, studio logos, movie credits or trailers. The appearance of the “Feature Prohibited” icon “ ”,

or the inability of certain features to operate when the disc itself has prohibited them, does not indicate a problem with the DVD 22, as these features are outside of the unit’s control.

Zoom Feature

The DVD 22’s advanced digital video processing circuits include a Zoom feature which allows you to enlarge the image for closer examination of a particular part of the picture. Four steps of enlargement are available.

To use the Zoom feature, press the Zoom Button M while a disc is playing or paused. Each press of the button will increase the zoom-in effect. When you have zoomed through all four steps, the picture will return to normal size.

When the zoom feature is activated, you may use the ⁄¤‹› Navigation Buttons e to move the zoomed-in picture around the screen once the information box with the zoom ratio and playback time no longer appears on the screen.

Some discs are created in a way that prevents the Zoom feature from operating. In addition, the Zoom feature will not operate on disc menus and may not operate on subtitles.

DVD PLAYBACK

Playback Resume Feature

The DVD 22 offers a “Resume” feature for DVD play- back that is different from the conventional “Stop” function you may be used to on CD players. When the Stop Button 4A is pressed once, the disc will stop and an on-screen RESUME indication will appear on the video screen and in the Front-Panel Information Display B. While the Resume feature is active, the disc’s position is entered into the unit’s memory so that when the Play Button 27 is pressed to resume playback, the program will continue at the point where it was when the Stop Button 4A was pressed.

To completely stop playback, press the Stop Button 4A twice.
