DVD PLAYBACK

Using a DVD’s Menu

One of the unique features of the DVD system is that it offers a producer the opportunity to include a wide range of features on a disc, including multiple- language tracks; subtitles in a variety of languages; special information such as movie trailers and cast information; as well as other customized information. In addition, producers may divide a movie or program into chapters that allow for quick access to specific parts of the program. These chapters may be accompanied by thumbnail pictures of a scene from the specific chapter to help you select the desired spot on the disc.

When a disc is playing, press the Disc Menu Button j 38 to pause the playback and display the disc’s menu. As there are no hard rules about style and content for DVD menus, the way they appear on the screen and the information they contain will vary from one disc to another. However, the following general rules apply to most menus:

The first menu that appears is the Main Menu, and you may move through the

options with the Navigation ⁄¤‹›

Buttons q 4 6 , as the disc’s programming allows. The option selected will typically be highlighted in a certain color or inside an outline box.

To select a highlighted option, which may either play a portion of the disc or move to a submenu, press the Set Button s 7 or Play Button

!e 26 .

On some discs, when you select the DVD menu during the playback of a movie, the disc will return to the point in the program where the menu was selected by offering a “Play Movie” option. Press the Set Button s 7 or Play Button !e 26 to resume play. However, not all discs offer this feature, and selecting the menu while playing a movie may mean that you will either have to go back to the beginning of the program or the start of a chapter. This feature is out of the control of the CVR700, as it is set by the disc’s inter- nal programming.

Important Notes on DVD

Playback

The sensitive CVPD50 plasma display screen is vulnerable to “burn-in” if any still image remains on screen for any length of time. It doesn’t take very long for an image to burn in, and it is impor- tant to avoid leaving certain displays on screen for more than a few minutes, as “burn-in” cannot be repaired, and will not be covered by your warranty. Therefore, DO NOT leave DVD menu screens on dis- play for more than a brief period of time unless they contain movement. Either begin play of the movie, or turn off the system (especially the screen) after 5 minutes.

The CVR700 is capable of all the features and options covered by the DVD standards. However, it is up to the producer of a DVD disc to decide which of those fea- tures and functions are available on any given disc. For that reason, not all discs will function identically, and some discs will not have many of the features of the DVD system. For example, most current DVD discs do not take advantage of the multiple-angle feature. When you press a button and the player displays the “Feature Not Available” message, this is an indication that the disc has not been programmed for that feature, or that the CVR700 is not capable of executing that command on that disc in the current mode.

In addition, it is common for the produc- ers of DVD discs to block the use of cer- tain functions during only some parts of a disc. For example, many discs prohibit the use of fast-play buttons or prohibit access to the Chapter Menu display during the playback of copyright notices, studio logos, movie credits or trailers. The appearance of the “Feature Not Available” message, or the inability of certain features to operate when the disc itself has prohibited them, does not indi- cate a problem with the CVR700, as these features are outside of the unit’s control.

Some DTS discs contain incorrect digi- tal flags that may initially cause the CVR700 to display incorrect information on the available surround modes or other features. This is the fault of the disc author and not the CVR700, which will correctly process the disc’s bit- stream once it has been detected and identified.

NOTES ON DVD-AUDIO DISCS:

Some DVD-Audio discs contain two menus, one used when the disc is played on a DVD-Audio player, and a DVD-Video menu used on older players that do not recognize the DVD-Audio format. You may view the DVD-Video menu by turning off the CVR700’s DVD- Audio capability temporarily, using the DVD Setup menu (see Figure 31). You may wish to do this in order to access certain audio surround tracks, such as Dolby Digital 5.1 or PCM on the disc. When you have finished exploring the DVD-Video capabilities of the disc, remember to restore the CVR700’s DVD-Audio capability.

Some DVD-Audio discs do not permit

you to access the disc menu using the

Menu Button j 38 . However, pressing the Title Button yor the Audio Button Umay provide menu access. In addition, you may simply place the disc in Stop mode and play the tracks in order.

Zoom Feature

The CVR700’s advanced digital video pro- cessing circuits include a Zoom feature that allows you to enlarge the image for closer examination of a particular part of the picture. Four steps of enlargement are available.

• To use the Zoom feature, press the Zoom Button k 28 while a disc is playing or paused. Each press of the button will increase the zoom-in effect. When you have zoomed through all four steps, the picture will return to normal size.

• When in any of the Zoom modes, you may use the Navigation ⁄¤‹›

Buttons q 4

6 to navigate

around the frame.

Some discs are created in a way that prevents the Zoom feature from operat- ing. In addition, the Zoom feature will not operate on disc menus and may not operate on subtitles.

The Zoom function is not available for VCD or JPEG discs.
