•Time Display Type Δ: This section identifies the type of information in the Time Display ˙ sec- tion of the display. Use the ⁄¤‹› Navigation Buttons D to select this setting, and each subsequent press of the Enter Button J will change the time display from Title Elapsed, to

Selecting a Title or Group

enabling you to use the Numeric Keys to enter the desired title. Press the Enter Button J again to begin playing the new title or group. Note that if a “ø” icon appears when you attempt to select a new title (group), this is an indication that the disc does not allow the title (group) to be changed in this manner, even though a list of numbers will appear.

Button during playback to change the current title or group. Some discs will switch to the disc menu, and some discs may simply restart play from the beginning of the current title or group. This is a func- tion of how the disc was authored, and does not reflect a problem with the DVD 47.
