DVD/VCD special playback modes
This section explains the special playback modes for DVDs and VCDs. The operations described here are
not exactly the same for DVDs and VCDs, but very similar.
Note that many VCDs have a single track, so some operations involving tracks will not be relevant.

Jumping to a particular point

Press the SRCH button on the remote control to open the ‘Search’ menu:
If the disc is playing, then the elapsed and total times on the disc are
shown. With a DVD, Title, Chapter and Time are displayed; with a CD,
Track, Time and Disc Time are displayed.
A jump can be performed using different speciers: jump to a particular
time or to a specied chapter/track on the disc.

Time

Highlight the ‘Time’ eld and enter the time in hours, minutes and
seconds, then press OK. The Search menu is removed from the screen
and playback starts from the time specied. Invalid time entries are
ignored.

Title/Chapter

(Applies to DVDs only) To jump to a title or chapter, highlight the title/
chapter position and enter the number of the title/chapter to jump to,
before pressing OK. It is possible to jump to a chapter within a different
title to the current one by entering a value into both elds. Note that specifying a title without a chapter
will jump to the rst chapter in the title.

Group/Track

(Applicable to DVD-audio discs only.) To jump to a group or track, highlight the group/track position and
enter the number of the group/track to jump to, before pressing OK. It is possible to jump to a track
within a different group to the current one by entering a value into both elds. Note that specifying a
group without a track will jump to the rst track in the group.

Track

(Applies to VCDs only) To jump to a specied track on a VCD, enter the track number in the ‘Track’ eld,
then press OK. Note that many VCDs have only one track.

Closing the Search menu

When displayed, this menu screen can be closed again by pressing the SRCH button (which also has the
effect of cancelling the search).

Special playback modes

Repeat, shufe or looped (A-B repeat) playback modes are available.

Repeat

Press the RPT button on the remote control to cycle through the repeat options. For DVDs, a chapter or
title repeat may be selected (i.e., play continuously the current chapter or the current title). For VCDs, a
track or disc repeat is available.
When a chapter/track repeat is selected, the loop symbol on the front panel display is illuminated and
the current chapter/track is repeated. If a title/disc repeat is selected, the loop symbol and ‘ALL’ are
illuminated and the current title/disc is repeated.
To cancel repeat, press the RPT button until ‘Repeat: Off’ is displayed.

Shufe

Press the or SHUFF button on the remote control to switch shufe play on.This causes the chapters/
tracks to be played in random order.
To cancel random play, press SHUFF button for a second time.

A-B repeat

The DV135 can repeat a specic section of a DVD or VCD; this is called an A-B repeat.
To perform an A-B repeat, wait until the disc is at the point where you want the repeat to start, then
press SHIFT + RPT. The OSD shows a repeat symbol, followed by ‘A–’, and the front panel shows ‘A–’.
Press SHIFT + RPT again at the point you want the repeat to end. The repeat symbol, followed by ‘A-B’ is
shown on the display device, and the front panel shows ‘A-B’. The selected section is repeated in a loop.
To cancel the A-B repeat, press SHIFT + RPT again. An ‘Off’ message is displayed on the OSD.
