CD Playback
Many functions of the DVD 28 operate the same way for CD playback as for DVD play; however, there are some important differences. When a CD is loaded, the DVD 28 will automatically display the Player Information menu. Status banners are not available during CD play.
A greater variety of playback options are available during CD play, including Random play and programmed playlists.
These and other features unique to CD play are described in this section.
Using the Player Information Menu
The DVD 28’s Player Information menu displays disc information and enables you to program playback modes. Press the Info Button 6 to display the Player Information menu.
The Player Information Menu has three sub- menus which may be accessed by using the
KL Navigation Buttons to highlight the submenu’s icon, and pressing the OK Button A to select it. These submenus are different from the Setup menus in that many items are for display only and cannot be changed using the menu system.
PLAYBACK INFO Submenu: This submenu displays basic disc and playback mode information.
■Disc: This line displays the disc type, such as CDDA (Compact Disc Digital Audio).
■Audio: This line displays the type of audio recorded on the disc, usually Stereo.
■Playlist: For CDs only, you may choose to play the tracks in order as they appear on the disc, or you may program a playlist containing some or all of the tracks in the order in which you wish to hear them. This line indicates which of these two modes has been selected. In order to change this setting, you will need to access the PROGRAM submenu as described below.
■Repeat: With this line highlighted, press the OK Button A to activate Repeat mode. Each press will change the repeat mode from Repeat 1 (to repeat one track) to Repeat All (to repeat all tracks on the disc) to Repeat Off.
■Random: With this line highlighted, press the OK Button A to activate Random mode. Each press will toggle between turning the Random play on or off.
■Track List: A list of tracks on the disc will appear. Use the KL Navigation Buttons
to scroll through the list. Press the OK Button A or the Play Button M while a track is highlighted, to begin play.
PROGRAM Submenu: This submenu lets you program a playlist. The PROGRAM submenu is only accessible for CDs.
■Disc: This line displays the disc type.
■Audio: This line displays the type of audio recorded on the disc, usually Stereo.
■Playlist: With this line highlighted, press the OK Button A to change the order in which the tracks are played from the order in which they appear on the disc (Disc’s order) to a playlist order which you may program (Programmed order). A list of pro- gram steps and the track programmed for each step will appear at the bottom of the screen. You may enter a track number using
the Numeric Keys | and then press the | |
L Navigation Button | to program | |
another track. |
|
|
Use the KLM N Navigation Button
to select the desired program steps. Note that you may not enter a track more than once in the playlist, if it appears in an earlier step.
However, you may use the Repeat function while the playlist is playing. After you have finished programming the playlist, press the Play Button 3M to begin play.
Disc Information Submenu: This screen displays abbreviated track and playback information, plus more detailed timing informa- tion. It is only available for CDs.
The information at the top of the screen provides the same information on the disc type, audio format, playlist setting, Repeat play setting and Random play setting as on the Playback Info submenu. The following additional information appears next.
■Track: This line displays the current track on the left, and the total number of tracks on the disc to the right.
■Play Mode Icon: This icon will appear to the right of the Track display and will indicate the current playback mode.
■Time: This section consists of three lines:
•Track Elapsed: Displays the elapsed or remaining time of the current track.
•Disc Elapsed: Displays the elapsed or remaining time of the disc.
•Elapsed Time Bar: Displays in graphical form a temperature bar reflecting the per- centage of the disc that has been played.
Use the KL Navigation Buttons to
highlight either Track Elapsed or Disc Elapsed, and each press of the OK Button A will tog- gle between the elapsed and remaining settings. The time displayed to the right and in the front-
panel Information Display | will change |
accordingly. |
|
The Time Search function enables you to start playback at any point in the program. Use the
KL Navigation Buttons to highlight the time display. Press the Numeric Keys followed by the OK Button A to select a new point in the track from which to commence play.
When you have finished viewing the Player menus, press the Info Button 6 to remove the displays from the screen and return to normal play.
