Functions

This player is compatible with DVD, Video CD, and CD disc formats. Users already familiar with Video CD or CD will already be familiar with some of the functions the player is capable of performing. With DVD, an even greater number of possibilities and functions are available.

•Adjust the dynamic range of the audio soundtrack so that quiet sounds can be heard better (this page).

•Adjust the picture quality to better match program content (this page).

•Pause DVD or Video CD playback, play at extremely slow speeds or view frame by frame (page 34).

•Search for titles, chapters, tracks or locations on a disc (page 35).

•Change the angle of playback when viewing DVDs with multi-angle programming (page 36).

•Repeat an entire title, chapter, or track, or just a specified part (page 37).

•Play DVD titles or chapters, or Video CD/CD tracks in random order (page 38).

•Program DVD titles or chapters, or Video CD/CD tracks to play back in a specified order (page 39).

•Set the parental lock level to prevent children from having access to inappropriate material (page 42).

Note

DVDs differ in content and do not all contain the same information. Therefore some functions in this section may not work or have no effect on some DVDs.

Adjusting the Dynamic Range of the Audio Soundtrack – DVD

Audio DRC stands for Audio Dynamic Range Compression. When Audio DRC is on, soft sounds such as dialog can be heard more clearly without making loud sounds even louder. Select from three levels of compression depending on how much effect you want. When Audio DRC is set to “Off”, there is no effect on the audio source.

Make changes to the [Audio DRC] setting in the Setup screen Audio 2 menu.
