STILL FRAME PLAYBACK

Activates still frame playback, which pauses playback at the current

playback time and creates a still frame image on the associated display

device screen. Audio automatically mutes when still frame playback

is activated.

The Pause Mode parameter controls the appearance of still frame

images. When set to Field, the RT-20 produces tight, stable, and

generally shake-free still frame images. When set to Frame, the

RT-20 produces sharper, but shakier still frame images. When set to

Auto, the RT-20 automatically selects the best viewing method for

still frame images. See “Pause Mode” on page 3-22.

Still frame images displayed on CRT display devices for long periods

of time can “burn in” or create “ghost images” on the display

device screen. When the RT-20 is connected to a CRT display

device, set the Screen Saver parameter to On to prevent the

appearance of “ghost images” on the display device screen.

To activate still frame playback when a disc is playing:

Press the Pause button.

If a still frame image does not appear on the display device screen,

still frame playback might not be available for the loaded disc. The

“Playback Modes Table” on page 4-10 indicates the playback

modes available for each disc format.

To deactivate still frame playback:

• Press the PLAY button to reactivate playback at the current

playback time.

• Press the STOP button to activate stop or resume mode. In

some cases, the STOP button must be pressed twice in succes-

sion to activate stop mode. When stop mode is activated, play-

back cannot be reactivated at the current playback time.

Activates frame-by-frame playback, which plays the loaded disc one

frame at a time in the forward direction. Audio automatically mutes

when frame-by-frame playback is activated. With this function

DVD-Vs and VCDs can be advanced forward a frame at a time.

To activate frame-by-frame playback when a disc is playing:

• Press the Pause button to pause playback at the current play-

back time.

• Press and release the Pause button to activate forward frame-

by-frame playback. The picture on the associated display

device screen will advance one frame with each press of the

pause button.

Note:

Video CDs are not compatible with reverse frame-by-frame playback.

• Continue pressing and releasing the Pause button to continue

frame-by-frame playback.
