denoted by a number preceding it to indi- cate its order of availability. Next, the language is displayed, such as ENG for English or SPA for Spanish. Following this is the bitstream type, which may be PCM for a two-channel format; or DTS or the Dolby logo for one of those formats. Next to the format is an icon that reflects the number and location of the channels in the bitstream. The icon is in the shape of a square that represents a listening room, with the front channels at the top. A small block will appear at the location of each channel encoded in the bitstream, with only one block at each top corner for a 2-channel format. Figure 41 depicts that a Dolby Digital 5.1-channel bitstream has been detected. Note that while the disc is playing, a 0 or 1 may also appear to the right of the icon to indicate whether an LFE channel is present (0 if no LFE channel is present or “1” if the LFE chan- nel is detected). If the disc has more than one audio track; such as 2.0-channel PCM, 5.1-channel Dolby Digital or a director's commentary; you may cycle through these tracks while the disc is playing by repeatedly pressing the Audio Button U 7 .

ESubtitle: The fifth item is the current Subtitle status. If the disc contains subti- tles, you may cycle through the available languages while the disc is playing by repeatedly pressing the Subtitle Button

V7 . In addition to displaying the available languages, the Subtitle feature may be set to Off by continuing to press the button.

FAngle: The sixth item is the current camera angle. This feature is only avail- able on certain DVD discs; check the DVD jacket to determine whether this feature is available on the disc. You may change the angle setting at any time by repeatedly pressing the Angle Button E 15 . However, the on-screen view will only change during portions of the disc where the multi-angle feature has been activated. At the beginning of a passage where multiple camera angles are available, a Status Banner will appear indicating “Angle Area In”. At any time after this message appears, press the Angle Button E 15 to view the program using a different camera angle. Another Status Banner with the message "Angle Area Out" will appear at the end of the passage. After this second banner appears, pressing the Angle Button

E15 will change the setting, but the on-screen image will not change.

NOTES:

The full Status Bar is only available while a disc is playing. If you press the Status Bar in Stop mode, an abbreviated Status Bar will appear (see Figure 43) that only indicates the current title, and does not permit you to change the title number.

• If you press the Audio Button U

7 , the Subtitle Button V 7 or the Angle Button E 15 without the Status Bar being on screen, the segment of the Status Bar relating to the function you selected will appear on screen by itself, and you will be able to change the setting for that function by continuing to press the corresponding button. (See examples of the Subtitle segment in Figures 44 and 45.)

A different Status Bar is displayed on screen when a CD is playing (see Fig. 46). This Status Bar only contains two items: the current Track number followed by the total number of tracks on the disc and the elapsed time. When the Track number is highlighted, you may use the Numeric Keys l 14 to enter the number of

a track you wish to skip to. The Time Search function is also available for CDs. Use the Numeric Keys l 14 to enter the hour/minute/second indication of the time at which you wish play to begin, followed by the Set Button I 7 . Playback from that point will begin immediately.

Status banners may also appear on screen briefly to display messages such as “Disc Loading”, “Play”, “Stop”, “Pause”, “Feature Not Available” or other status messages. These messages are generated by the DVD changer section of the CVR700, and are separate from banner messages generated by the CVPD50 screen.

Selecting a Disc For Playback

There are several methods for playing a loaded disc in the CVR700:

Turn on the CVR700 by pressing the

Main Power On/Off Button 1.

Any discs already loaded in the changer will be indicated by the Disc Indicators D. The indicator for the last disc played will be flashing.

Play will not begin automati- cally. If you press the Play Button !e 25 ; you will be prompted on the Lower Display Line Eto enter the number of the disc you wish to play. If you enter a disc number using the Numeric Keys l 14 or the

Disc Selectors S, the CVR700 will play that disc. If you do nothing, the CVR700 will play the last selected disc, whose Disc Indicator Dwill be flashing.

If you wish to play a different disc, you may skip to the next numbered disc by pressing the Disc Skip Button T 31 . If you wish to skip to a differ- ent disc, press the Disc Direct Button a 13 , and then enter the desired disc number using the Numeric Keys l 14 . If there is no disc in that location, the CVR700 will do nothing.
