Arcam DV29 manual Browsing the disc Browse mode, Programmed playback Audio CDs

Browsing the disc (Browse mode)

By default, the disc navigator is in ‘Browse’ mode. In this mode, the user can navigate around the disc (using the cursor pad for direction and ‘OK’ to select an option). When a file/track is highlighted, the tag information for that file (if available) is displayed in the lower portion of the screen. Use the ‘Up’ button to move to a higher-level directory; to enter a lower-level directory, press OK when the directory name is highlighted.

At any time, press PLAY or OK to begin playback from the file/track highlighted currently. Navigation around the current directory is possible during playback, but playback stops automatically if you attempt to navigate out of the current directory. Please note the following:

nFast forward and fast rewind do not work with MP3 or WMA playback.

nSkipping forward past the end of a directory with CD-ROMs causes playback to continue from the next directory containing valid files. Skip-back can be performed only as far as the beginning of the current directory.

nDirectory trees may be up to 10 directories deep.

nLong file names, of up to 64 characters (Joliet standard), are supported.

nOnly sample rates of 44.1kHz and 48kHz are supported for MP3 and WMA files.

nFor MP3 playback, the following constant bit rates are supported: 32, 64, 80, 96, 112, 128, 160, 192, 256 and 320 kilobits per second. Variable bit rate (VBR) between 96kb/s and 320kb/s is also supported.

Because of differences in the many MP3 and WMA encoders available, we recommend that you conduct a test recording before transferring large numbers of MP3 files to CD-R or CD-RW for subsequent playback on the DV29.

Programmed playback (Audio CDs)

To enter a track number greater than 9, press the two digits sequentially (e.g., for

track 10, first press 1, then press 0).�������������������

To play the programme you have entered, highlight the PLAY button on the screen and press OK. The ‘PROG’ indicator shows on the front panel display and the programmed sequence begins.

If you make a mistake while programming, you can clear a single field by highlighting it and pressing CLEAR. To clear all the fields at once, highlight the ‘Clear All’ button on the screen and press OK.

To stop the programmed sequence and return to normal playback, select the ‘Play’ button in the programme menu with no programme specified. This clears programme mode and causes normal playback order to be resumed.

Note that in programmed playback mode, skipping track forward or back skips forward or back through the programmed sequence.

The player returns to ‘Browse’ mode if no programme has been entered when PROG is pressed for a second time.

Programmed playback (CD-ROM)

Pressing the PROG button on the remote control stops playback (if active) and changes the player mode to ‘Programme’ mode (as indicated at point 2).

Navigating the directory tree is the same as described earlier for ‘Browse’ mode. Files from any location on the disc may be added to the playlist by moving the cursor to the file, then pressing OK on the remote control. Files that are present in the playlist are shown with a light blue highlight.

To remove a file from the playlist, move the cursor to the file and press OK. The blue highlight disappears from the file, indicating that the file is no longer in the playlist. To remove all files from the playlist, press CLEAR on the remote control.

When you have entered the programme to your satisfaction, press the PROG button again. This changes the display to show the programmed list (‘Playlist’ mode) and playback starts automatically.

Playback can be stopped and started using the STOP and PLAY keys, as normal. To stop the programmed sequence and return to normal playback, press the PROG button for a third time; this stops playback and changes the player to ‘Browse’ mode.
