When a DVD or CD is playing, you may press the Status Button x at any time to view a quick summary of the disc’s playback status. The Status Bar not only gives you a snapshot of the unit’s current state; it also provides an easy way to select a different title, chapter or time display.
For DVDs:
•Title ƒ: This display shows the current title.
•Chapter ©: This display shows the current chapter.
•Playback Status ˙: This section shows whether the unit is in Play or Pause, or whether it is in a fast or slow search/scan mode.
•Time Display Type î: This section identifies the type of information in the Time Display ¬ section of the display.
•Options ∆: This line is blank when the Status Display is first accessed, but when it is used to change the title, chapter or time display, the available choices will be shown here.
•Time Bar ˚: This display is a graphic representa- tion of the time remaining for the disc being played. As the disc plays, blue bars will appear to give a relative indication of where the current scene is between the beginning and end of the title.
•Time Display ¬: This section of the display shows the time corresponding to the type of display indi- cated in the Time Display Type î.
When a CD is playing, the Title and Chapter lines are replaced by a single line that shows the current Track being played.
