Repeat Play

With CDs the DVD 25 offers three Repeat functions that allow you to take advantage of the capacity of the unit for unattended playback:

•Repeat Disc: Plays the complete disc repeatedly from start to finish until the disc is manually stopped. When that mode is selected, REPEAT ALL H will appear in the front-panel display, and REPEAT DISC will appear on-screen.

•Repeat Track: Repeats the CD track currently being played until the disc is manually stopped. When that mode is selected, REPEAT 1 H will light up in the front-panel display, and REPEAT TRACK will appear on-screen.

•Repeat A-B: Repeats any selected portion of the disc until the disc is manually stopped.

To select any Repeat mode, do the following:

1.While a disc is playing, press the Repeat Button on the remote; the Repeat Display appears.

2.Access the Repeat modes and their appropriate menus in the following order by pressing the

Repeat Button on the remote repeatedly until the desired function is displayed. REPEAT TRACK ➜ REPEAT DISC ➜ REPEAT OFF

3.To make the menu disappear from the screen, press

the Clear Button on the remote or wait a few seconds.

•To cancel any Repeat Play function and to continue with normal play, press the Repeat Button

until the Repeat Off banner appears in the on-screen display or the REPEAT Indicator H in the Front-Panel Information Display goes out.

•Repeat Play may be stopped and canceled by pressing the Stop Button 5I twice.

•With CD, all Repeat modes are also available during Program play (see page 30). If Repeat All is selected during Program play, the complete program will be repeated rather than the disc.

A-B Repeat Play

The Repeat A-B function allows you to select any portion of a CD and have it repeat continually until the unit is manually stopped.

To initiate a Repeat A-B playback sequence, follow these steps while a disc is playing:

1.While a disc is playing, press the A-B Button

on the remote when you want to choose a passage as the beginning point. The Repeat A– Display appears and REPEAT A– K is indicated in the front-panel display.

2.

Press the A-B Button

again to choose the

3.

Press the A-B Button

on the remote again so

 

that the REPEAT A-B Indicators K disappear and

REPEAT OFF appears on the screen to cancel the Repeat A-B mode and to play on in normal mode.

the Clear Button on the remote or wait a few seconds.

NOTE: The A-B Repeat range may cover several tracks on the CD.

Random Play

The Random Play function will play all of the tracks on a CD in a random order as selected by the DVD 25. Once the DVD 25 has played all of the tracks on the disc, it will stop.

Video Off Feature

During CD playback, some listeners may prefer to turn off the DVD 25’s video circuitry. Although the video section is electrically isolated from the audio section, some users may prefer to turn the video displays off during audio playback to prevent any possibility of interference between audio and video. You may also wish to turn the video display off if you find the menu system distracting or unnecessary during CD playback.

To turn the video displays off while a CD is playing, simply press the Video Off Button Q. Press the button again to restore the video output. Note that the video output will automatically be restored each time the DVD 25 is turned on.
