JBL DVD280 manual Zoom Feature, Playback Resume Feature, Using the Player Menu

Important Notes on DVD

Playback

The DVD280 is capable of all the fea- tures and options covered by the DVD standards. However, it is up to the producer of a DVD disc to decide which of those features 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 Prohibited” icon ( ), this is an indication that the disc has not been programmed for that feature.

In addition, it is common for the pro- ducers of DVD discs to block the use of certain functions during only some parts of a disc. For example, many discs prohibit the use of fast-play but- tons 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 Prohibited” icon ( ) or the inability of certain features to operate when the disc itself has pro- hibited them, does not indicate a problem with the DVD280, as these features are outside of the unit’s control.

Zoom Feature

The DVD280’s advanced digital video processing 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 L 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 fh to navigate around the frame. Some discs may require you to first pause playback.

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

•The zoom function is also available for VCDs, SVCDs and JPEGs. How- ever, for VCDs and SVCDs, only two steps of enlargement are available, 2x and 4x.

Playback Resume Feature

The DVD280 offers a “Resume” fea- ture that is different from the conven- tional “STOP” function you may be used to on CD players. When the Stop Button 7D is pressed once, the disc will stop and an on-screen RESUME indication will appear on the video screen. While the Resume feature is active, the disc’s position is entered into the unit’s memory so that when the Play Button 5B is pressed to resume playback, the program will continue at the point where it was when the Stop Button 7D was pressed.

To completely stop playback, press the Stop Button 7D twice.

•The Resume function is not avail- able for CDs or JPEGs.

•The Resume function will be effec- tive after the unit has been placed in Standby mode for DVDs, MP3s and WMAs, but not for VCDs or SVCDs. The resume function will not be effective after the unit has been turned fully off using the Main Power On/Off Switch 1.

Using the Player Menu

The DVD280 has an easy-to-use on- screen menu system that simplifies the task of programming playback of discs. Of course, the simplest method of playing discs is to use the transport controls on the front panel or remote control. However, many features that will enhance your enjoyment of your favorite movies and music are only accessible using the on-screen menu system.

Access the Player Menu by pressing

the Setup Button . The menu sys- tem is navigated using the Navigation ⁄/¤/‹/› Buttons 57, and selections are made using the Enter Button 8. When an icon or word on-screen is highlighted with the appearance of a button, you may select it by pressing the Enter Button 8. The item will then appear to be a depressed button. Usually an instruc- tion will appear on the bottom of the screen, directing you to take further action or to choose from a list of options, one of which will be high- lighted. Throughout this manual, when you are asked to “scroll” in a certain direction, or move the cursor, it means to use the Navigation ⁄/¤/‹/› Buttons 57 to move the visible cursor or to cause a new icon to appear highlighted on-screen. When you are asked to select an icon, it means to use the Navigation ⁄/¤/‹/› Buttons 57 until the icon is highlighted, and then to press the Enter Button 8.

The Player Menu

Move the cursor to the Player icon in the upper left corner of the screen, but do not press the Enter Button 8. The Player Menu will appear on- screen (see Figure 41).
