to select this setting, and each subsequent press of the Enter Button will change the time display from Title Elapsed, to Title Remaining, to Chapter Elapsed to Chapter Remaining, and cycle back to Title Elapsed. The time displayed on screen and in the front-panel Information Display will change accordingly. For DVD-Audio discs, the time display options are Group Elapsed, Group Remaining, Track Elapsed and Track Remaining.

Time Bar: This display is a graphic representation of the time elapsed for the title being played. As the disc plays, the number of bars will increase to reflect approximately what percentage of the title has been played thus far. It is not affected by changes to the Time Display Type.

Titles and Groups

To select a title or group, first press the Status Button so that the Status Display appears. Navigate so that the Current Title or Group is highlighted. Use the Numeric Keys to enter the desired title/group and it will begin playing immediately. See Figure 38.

Figure 38 – Selecting a Title

If a “ø” icon appears when you attempt to select a new title (group), this is an indication that the disc does not allow the title (group) to be changed in this manner, even though a list of numbers will appear. This is a function of the way the disc was created and is not a flaw in the DVD 38.

For some discs, you may press the Title or Audio Button during playback to change the current title or group. Other discs will switch to the disc menu, and some discs may simply restart play from the beginning of the current title or group. This is a function of how the disc was authored, and does not reflect a problem with the DVD 38.

Chapters and Tracks

To select a chapter for DVD-Video discs or a track for DVD-Audio discs, first press the Status Button so that the Status Display appears. The Current Chapter or Track Number will be highlighted. Use the Numeric Keys to enter the desired chapter/track, and it will begin playing immediately.

To select a specific chapter or track on a DVD at any time during play- back, simply press the number corresponding to the chapter or track you wish to view using the Numeric Keys. You may also move one by one through the chapters or tracks at any time by pressing the Skip Reverse (Previous)/Skip Forward (Next) Buttons.

Audio Soundtracks

Many DVDs contain more than one audio soundtrack. On many discs, you will find multiple languages, while others offer a choice of different audio formats or mixes (e.g., Dolby Digital or DTS). Some will also con- tain commentary from the director or stars. The default audio language is set in the AUDIO SETUP menu.

To change the audio soundtrack, press the Audio Select Button to display the Audio banner and show the current audio soundtrack configuration. See Figure 39.

OPERATION

Figure 39 – Audio Status Bar

Each press of the Audio Select Button or the Enter Button will change the current audio soundtrack. Don’t press any of the Numeric Keys to select an audio track; doing so will change the chapter or track.

When the desired selection appears, press the /Navigation Buttons so that Done is highlighted, and then press the Enter Button to remove the banner display and return to normal playback.

NOTES ON AUDIO TRACKS:

Not all discs contain multiple audio soundtrack choices. Check the information on the disc jacket to see what audio languages or format options are available.

Some DVDs do not allow direct selection of the audio track during playback. For these discs, you must change the audio soundtrack using the disc’s menu system. Press the Disc Menu Button to display the disc’s menu and then use the Navigation Buttons to make your selection following the navigation scheme of the individual disc.

When you change the audio soundtrack or language with the Audio Select Button on the remote control as shown above, you only override the audio language setting established in the AUDIO SETUP menu for the disc currently being played. The unit will revert to its default setting with the next disc.

Subtitles (DVD-Video Discs Only)

Many DVDs contain one or more subtitle languages. The default subtitle language is set in the SYSTEM SETUP menu, but you may also turn the subtitles on or off, or change the language at any time during a disc’s playback.

To change the subtitle language or turn the subtitles on or off, press the Subtitle Button to display the Subtitle banner and show the current configuration. See Figure 40. Each press of either the Subtitle Button or the Enter Button will change the current subtitle language, or turn subtitling off.

Figure 40 – Subtitle Banner

When your desired selection appears, press the /Navigation Buttons until Done is highlighted and then press the Enter Button to remove the banner display and return to normal playback.

NOTE: Due to the variations in how DVD discs are authored, subtitle languages displayed by the DVD 38 may not accurately reflect the actual languages available on the disc. It is recom- mended that subtitles be selected using the disc’s menu.

Angles (DVD-Video Discs Only)

Some DVDs contain multiple-angle views, which allow the disc’s creators to provide different camera views of the same scene. In many cases the disc will alert you to the presence of multiple angles by showing a camera icon or other indication, but in any case where multiple-angle
