OPERATION

NOTE: Fast search is available when DVD-Audio, MP3 and WMA discs are playing. Search speeds available may vary for different types of discs.

When a DVD is playing, you may move forward or backward through the disc in slow motion by first pressing the Pause Button and then pressing the Search/Slow Forward or Search/Slow Reverse Buttons. Each additional press of the buttons will cycle the player through one of the five forward or reverse slow-play speeds, as indicated by the number of filled-in triangles appearing in the upper right corner of the screen. Press the Play Button to resume normal playback.

NOTE:There is no audio playback during fast or slow-forward or -reverse play. This is normal for DVDs, as surround processors cannot process the digital audio streams during slow modes. Slow-play is available for VCDs, but not for audio CDs, MP3s or WMAs. Slow-play speeds may vary for different types of discs.

To advance frame by frame while a DVD is playing, first press the Pause Button, then press the Skip/Step (Previous) or Skip/Step (Next) button repeatedly. Press the Pause or Play Button to resume normal play. Frame-by-frame movement in reverse is not available.

NOTE: Playback of a disc with 96kHz/24-bit audio requires the use of circuitry normally used for other features. Accordingly, Slow Play Reverse and Step Advance features are not available with these discs.

When a camera icon appears on screen, or the Angle Indicator appears on the front panel, it indicates that there is multiple-angle information on the disc being played. To change the angle, press the Angle Button repeatedly until the desired angle view appears. An on- screen banner message will appear to indicate the angle view in use.

To illuminate the buttons on the remote control so that they may be seen in low-light conditions, press the Light Button.

The availability of the Zoom, Repeat, Repeat A-B and Random functions depends on the type of disc. In addition, the availability of the Player Information screens and Status Bar vary from one disc type to another. These features are described in the following sections describing play- back of DVDs, CDs, MP3s, WMAs, JPEGs and VCDs. Programming playlists is explained after the section on VCDs.
