DVD-Audio Navigation
Pressing “Play” while the
DVD-A disc is stopped will
automatically begin play at
Track 1 of Group 1.
Many DVD-A discs were designed to be played
while using a video display for navigation of the
on-screen menu. Nonetheless, advanced features
built into the Ayre C-5xeMP allow for easy
navigation of DVD-A discs without the use of a
video display.
The C-5xeMP will play all formats found on DVD-A
discs, including PCM, Dolby Digital, and DTS.
Multi-channel tracks will automatically be
down-mixed to stereo. Therefore, all groups (and
soundtracks) will play properly.
The key to navigating DVD-A discs is to recognize
that only one group (or soundtrack) on each disc
has the highest sound quality.
When playing a DVD-A disc for the first time, you
will want to determine which group (or soundtrack)
has the highest sound quality. While the disc is
stopped, use the navigation keys (“Next”,
“Previous”, and number keys) to navigate to each
group on the disc.
Remember that while the disc is stopped, the
navigation keys (“Next”, “Previous”, and number
keys) will select which group will play, but while
the disc is playing the navigation keys will select
which track in the current group will play.
If the disc has only one group, or if none of the
groups has high-resolution audio tracks, then the
various formats are stored in different
soundtracks, usually in Group 1. Use the “Audio”
button on the remote control handset to access
the various soundtracks in each group.
