•Repeat Folder: For MP3s, WMAs and JPEGs, repeats all tracks within the current folder until play is manually stopped. The Repeat I indicator will light in the front-panel display.

•Repeat A-B: Repeats any selected portion of the disc until the disc is manually stopped (see below for more information).

To select any Repeat mode (other than Repeat A-B):

While a disc is playing, press the Repeat Button 5 on the remote. Each press of the Repeat Button 5 will cycle through the available repeat modes. To end Repeat play, continue pressing the Repeat Button 5 until the Off mode is selected.

A-B Repeat Play

The Repeat A-B function allows you to select any por- tion of a CD or SACD 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.Press the A-B Repeat Button 6 on the remote when you want to choose the beginning point; the Repeat icon appears in the upper right corner of the screen, followed by A- to indicate the begin- ning of the passage to be repeated.

3.Press the A-B Repeat Button 6 on the remote again to cancel Repeat A-B mode.

Random Play

The Random Play function will play all of the tracks on a CD in a random order, as selected by the DVD 47. Once the DVD 47 has played all of the tracks on the disc once, it will stop.

You may select the random mode by pressing the Random Button 7 on the remote. Each press of the Random Button 7 will toggle the setting between “Off” and “On”, meaning that the remaining tracks on the disc will be played in random order.

The Random Indicator F in the Front-Panel Information Display @ will light any time the Random setting is on. Random play is not available for SACDs.

Video Off Feature

During CD playback, some listeners may prefer to turn off the DVD 47’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.

IMPORTANT NOTE: It is strongly recommended that plasma video display owners use the Video Off feature to avoid burn-in.

To turn the video displays off while a CD is playing, simply press the Video Off Button F. Press the button again to restore the video output. The V-Off Indicator H will light to remind you that the video displays have been turned off. Note that the video output will automatically be restored each time the DVD 47 is turned on.

SACD Discs

SACD discs are a vast improvement in sound quality over the original compact disc. Due to improvements in laser technology, SACDs allow information to be packed more densely on the disc, which in turn means that more information than ever may be stored on a single disc. The benefit to the audiophile listener is improved resolution and quality of 2-channel record- ings, and a whole new world of multichannel audio recordings.

Some earlier SACD discs contain only a two-channel program. Newer discs may contain both a 2-channel and a multichannel version of the same materials. As described on page 22, a setting in the Audio Setup submenu is used to select between

2-channel and multichannel SACD playback, or to select the CD layer of the disc. Check the jacket of your disc to ascertain which formats are available.

SACD playback requires the use of the 6-Channel

Audio Outputs or the Analog Audio Outputs (for 2-channel playback only). If only the HDMI

,Optical or Coaxial Digital Audio Outputs are used, no sound will be heard.

Random play and programmed playlists are not supported for SACD discs. Also, it is not possible to clear the Player Information screens from the display, although you may press the Video Off Button F to turn off the video display altogether.
