CD Playback

Many functions operate the same way for CD playback as for DVD play; however, there are some important differences. When a CD is loaded, the player will automatically display the Contents 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.

CD Playback

Many functions operate the same way for CD playback as for DVD play; however, there are some important differences. When a CD is loaded, the player will automatically begin play- ing. The Contents Menu will appear on screen (see Figure 7 - CD Contents Menu).

Figure 7 – CD Contents Menu

The disc type is indicated in the upper left cor- ner. For discs containing file folders, such as compressed-audio or image files you create on your PC, the hierarchy of folders is listed here as well.

The main display area is divided into two columns. The left column lists the tracks, highlighting the current track. For discs containing more than eight tracks, the list scrolls. The current track is also listed at the bottom of the screen. A play mode icon indicates the current playback status (the disc is stopped in this case).

Tracks

Select a track for playback in one of several ways:

1.Use the Navigation Buttons to highlight the desired track and press the OK Button to begin play.

2.Use the Numeric Keys to enter the desired track number. Play will begin immediately.

3.Press the Find Button to display the Find Menu (see Figure 7a Find Menu (CD Playing)). With the Track cell highlighted, use the Numeric Keys to enter the desired track number, and play will begin immediately.

4.During playback, you may move one by one through the tracks at any time by pressing the Skip Reverse (Previous)/Skip Forward (Next)

Buttons. When you press the Previous or Skip Reverse Button once, the player will return to the start of the current track. Additional presses of either button will step back through the available tracks, one at a time.

View: This setting allows you to select which files stored on a disc you wish to access. For commercial audio CDs, this command is not available, as only audio tracks are stored on the disc.

Time Display: This setting controls the time display that appears in the lower right corner of the screen and on the DVD 49’s front panel. Select from:

Track Elapsed: Displays the elapsed time of the current track.

Track Remain: Counts down the remaining time for the current track.

Disc Elapsed: Displays the elapsed time for all tracks played thus far on the disc.

Disc Remain: Counts down the remaining time to play the rest of the tracks on the disc.

Repeat Play: This setting controls whether the tracks are repeated.

Track: Repeats the track currently playing until play is manually stopped. The “Repeat” Indicators will light in the front-panel display.

All: Repeats all tracks on the disc until play is manually stopped.

The “Repeat” and “All” Indicators will light in the front-panel display.

Off: Normal playback of the current track followed by all remaining tracks on the disc, unless the Random or Programmed play functions have been selected.

Mode: This setting controls the Random play and Intro Scan playback options.

Random: In Random play mode the player selects the order in which the tracks will play until all tracks on the disc have been played.

Intro: This setting activates the Intro Scan play mode. The player plays the first ten seconds of each track before skipping to the next track, continuing until all tracks on the disc have been played.

Normal: Tracks are played normally, unless Repeat or Programmed play has been activated.

Edit Mode: This setting allows you to program play lists. The Control Commands following it are not available unless the Edit Mode line is set to On. When Edit Mode is On, playback is stopped. To resume playback, set Edit Mode to Off.

Program/Browser View: The Browser View displays the disc’s contents as shown in Figure 7b (Source Selection Button). If a play list has been programmed, you may select the Program View to see the list by pressing the OK Button with the Program View line highlighted.

Select All: This setting is used to select all tracks in the current view. When you press the OK Button, a check mark will appear to the right of each track and this command will change to De-Select All, which may be used to reverse the Select All command and removes the check marks. This command is not available unless play has been stopped and the Edit Mode line has been set to “On”.

Add to Program/Clear Program: The Add to Program command is used to add tracks to a programmed play list. It is not available unless play has been stopped, the Edit Mode line has been set to “On” and one or more tracks have been selected by highlighting them and pressing the OK Button, or using the Select All command. Selected tracks are indicated with a check mark on screen. The Add to Program command is only visible in the Browser View. When the Program View is activated, the Add to Program command is replaced by the Clear Program command, which removes selected tracks from the pro- grammed play list.

Delete: This command is used with the solid-state media only to permanently remove selected tracks or folders from the media. Its requirements are that play has been stopped, the Edit Mode line has been set to “On”, and tracks have been selected by highlighting them and pressing the OK Button or using the Select All command. Selected tracks are indicated with a check mark on screen. Use caution when deleting items from media, as they are

not recoverable.
