A number of aids have been built in to the programme menu to make it easier to use.These are best illustrated by an example. Let’s assume that you want to play chapters 5, 7, 9, 4, 8, 3, and 1 (in that order) of title 1, then all of title 2.

2Title(s) on this disc. 27 Chapter(s) in this title.

Enter title number.

First, highlight the title position for the first programmed item (as shown in the screen above).Then press the number 1 on the remote control:‘1’ is shown in the position. Using the remote control, press to highlight the chapter position.The message at the bottom of the screen changes accordingly, prompting you for the required information. Press 5 on the remote handset.

Since we have a number of chapters all from the same title, it would be a lot of work to have to enter the title number each time. Press on the remote handset. Notice that the player assumes that the title number remains the same for this entry as for the previous one. Enter the remaining chapter numbers, pressing after each one. (Note that pressing at the bottom of a column places the cursor at the top of the next column.)

Next, we want to specify all of title 2. For this, highlight the title position of the next entry (entry 8) and enter the number 2, indicating title 2. Highlight the chapter position and, without entering any number, press

.The player fills in the text ‘All’ to indicate that all the chapters in title

2 will be played.

PROGRAM (DVD-AUDIO)

The programming of a sequence for a DVD-audio disc is essentially the same as for a DVD-video disc, and the instructions given above should be followed. For DVD-audio discs, the“titles with chapters” combination found on DVD-video discs changes to “groups with tracks”.

PROGRAM (VCD)

The bottom of the screen shows the number of tracks present on the disc. Below this is an information line, giving relevant information for the cursor position.

You can enter a sequence of up to 20 tracks for programmed playback. If you enter data that is invalid for the current disc, the field is erased automatically.

To program the player, highlight the first entry (using the cursor pad on the remote control), then press the number of the track you want to play first. To enter a second track, move down, then type the number of the second track to play, etc. 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.
