PLAYER Menu

Once all the settings have been made, you are ready to enjoy your DVD 506. Once you have inserted a disc into the drawer you can explore the other Main Menu, that is the PLAYER Menu. This menu hosts all playback and program fea- tures, as well as all disc information. As you will see, the lay out of this menu is comparable with the lay out of the SET-UP Menu. The functionality is the same too. The Submenus are shown on the left side of the screen, with INFO and PROGRAM activated by default. As in the SET-UP Menu, set- tings can be highlighted with the ARROW but- tons and selected with the ENTER button on the remote control. Options for the settings are shown in the Lower Menu Line on the bottom of the screen.

Disc: Shows the name of the disc as it has been given by the artist

Audio: Shows the audio track that is currently playing. Options are shown on both Menu Lines on the bottom of the screen.

Playlist: Sets the order in which the current disc is played back.

Repeat: Sets the repeat mode.

Random: Activates Random Playback when pos- sible.

Subtitle: Shows the subtitle of the disc currently playing.

In the PLAYER Menu, the chapter, track or picture currently playing will be marked with an arrow symbol in front of the Chapter (DVD), Track (CD, MP3, WMA) or Picture (JPEG). Chapters, tracks and pictures can be selected from this list at any time by moving the cursor to the requested chap- ter or track and pressing ENTER to confirm.

The top part of this screen can be de-activated to show the complete Track list on the screen. To de-activate, move the cursor to the INFO Submenu of the left side of the screen. Press ENTER until the icon is highlighted in light blue and the full Track list is visible on the screen. In the same way the Disc list can be removed from the screen by de-activating the PROGRAM Submenu.

Information Displays

In DVD and MP3 mode, activating the DISC INFO Submenu will show information about the player and the disc currently playing. The first lines will show Disc Name and Disc ID. Below you can compare the Aspect Ratio, Video Standard and Scan Type available on the disc with the actual settings of your player.

In the lower part of the screen the Audio Resolution and Audio Format are shown, and at the bottom you will see a graphical presentation of the Video Bit Rate and the Audio Bit Rate of the disc currently playing.

Programmed Play

In STOP mode, the Disc List can be used to create your own program list for both DVD, CD, MP3, WMA or JPEG discs. Move the cursor to the right of the menu, into the Disc List. Move the cursor up or down to the first track you would like to program and press ENTER. The cursor will move to the options in the Lower Menu Line. You can either add the selected track (or picture) to the playlist or give it the number you would like it to have in your playlist, or clear the track from the list. Move the cursor down to the next track you would like to program and continue until your playlist is complete. Once completed, move the cursor up to the Playlist setting. Select Programmed order from the options and press PLAY to start the playback.

If you have a disc that contains both MP3 files and JPEG images, you can choose to run these simultaneously, mixing the MP3 audio with your own images. The time interval can be chosen in the Picture Setting.
