nine scenes. You may also press to dis- play the previous nine scenes.

Use the Cursor Buttons π/θ/υ/τ 7 to move the highlighting box to the scene you want. Then press ENTER 22 . The selected scene will begin playing.

When you press DIGEST while playing a DVD that has more than one chapter, the RDV-985 displays the opening scene of each chapter. You can then select the desired chapter. The procedure for selecting a chapter is the same as for selecting a scene.
