Basic Operation

Menu playback of DVD

When a DVD containing the recording of the top menu or menu is played, the top menu or menu is displayed.

These menus allow you to select the position you want to play easily based on an interactive method. The following operation procedure is the basic procedure. The functions vary depending on certain softwares.

1.Set the mode switch of the joystick remote to the Blue position.

TOP MENU

2. Press /FOLDER S. to display the top menu.

SQ.MODE

P.MODE

When the TOP MENU button is pressed again while the top menu is displayed during playback, the played position returns to the position where the button was pressed for the first time and playback restarts from there.

3.Select the scene to be played by tilting the joystick. (The scene may sometimes be selected using the nu- meric buttons.)

4.Press ENTER to play the DVD from the selected title.

To display multiple menus sequentially, repeat steps 3 and 4 above. If the menus are provided in a hierarchical structure, this operation allows you to move to the menus in the lower hierarchy level.

When the mode switch of the joystick remote is set to the Blue position and the MENU button is pressed, the menu is displayed. The operation is the same as that of the top menu.

Menu playback of P.B.C.-compatible

VCD

When a P.B.C. (PlayBack Control) capable VCD is played with P.B.C. on, the menu is displayed. Perform operation according to the procedure indicated by the menu. (For details on the operation method and control buttons, refer to the manual provided with the played software.)

Hierarchical structure of VCD menus

When a P.B.C.-compatible VCD containing menus is played and an item is selected in the displayed menu, a menu with more detailed items may sometimes be displayed. Such a structure in which multiple menus are distributed in different levels and interconnected is referred to as the hierarchical structure. In this structure, the target scene can be reached by repeatedly selecting items in multiple menus.
