Installation and Connections

Slow Motion Playback (with DVD only)

1.When a DVD disc is in pause or freeze frame mode, you may move slowly forward or backward through the program being played at one of four speeds by pressing the SEARCH Buttons HJ on the remote. Each press of the buttons will move to the next speed, indicated by a number of arrow indicators on the right top of the screen.

2.Press PLAY G to resume normal playback.

Note that there will be no audio playback during slow-forward or -reverse play of DVD discs. This is normal for DVD, as surround processors cannot process the digital audio streams during slow modes. Slow play is not available for CD.

Notes: Playback features may not be available during the opening credits of a movie. This is intended by the disc author and is not a failure of the HS Controller.

Playback of a DVD with 96 kHz/24-bit audio requires the use of circuitry normally used for other features. Accordingly, Slow Play Reverse and Step Advance features are not available with these discs.

Depending on the structure of a VCD disc, the functions Slow Reverse and Step Reverse may be prohibited or have no function and Fast Playback (Search) may not function.

Fast Playback (Search) will not function with CD's containing MP3 data.

About DivX Movie Files

The DivX disc compatibility of this DVD player is limited by the following:

the available resolution size of the DivX file should be below 720x576 (W x H) pixels.

the total number of files and folders on the disc should be less than 999.

the number of screen frames per second should be below 29.97 frames per second.

The player is capable of playing DivX files with the extensions “.avi”.

The player is capable of playing subtitle files with the extensions “.smi”, “.srt”, “.sub (Micro DVD format only)” or "ssa". Other subtitle files won’t be displayed. Subtitle files need to carry the same name as the movie file (but with either one of the above extensions) and should be located in the same directory.

Surround Mode

One of the most important features of the

HS 350 Controller is its ability to reproduce a full multichannel surround sound field from digital sources, analog matrix surround encoded programs and standard stereo programs.

Selection of a surround mode is based on personal taste, as well as the type of program source material being used. For example, motion pictures, CD’s or TV programs bearing the logo of one of the major surround encoding processes, such as Dolby Surround should be played in either the Dolby Pro Logic II Movie or Logic 7 Movie (with movies) or Music (with music) surround mode.

Surround modes and audio formats are selected using the remote. Press the AUDIO button 5 to toggle between the surround modes/audio formats available on the DVD disc. As you press the button, the Surround mode/audio format name will appear on your video display.

When a digital source is present, the HS Controller will automatically select and switch to the correct mode (Dolby Digital or DTS), regardless of the mode that has been previously selected.

To listen to a DVD-program in traditional two channel stereo, using the front left and front right speakers only (plus the subwoofer if installed and configured), follow the instructions shown in the chapter DVD Sound Mode, in the Audio Settings Menu.
