Playing discs

Using the Multi Dial

You can use the Multi Dial to control fast and slow motion scanning and frame advance of DVD-Video, DVD-R/RW and Video CD/Super VCDs.

When scanning, no audio is output, even when the scanning speed is 1/1 (normal play- back speed).

To start scanning playback at 1/16

speed, turn the MULTI DIAL (clockwise for forward; anti-clockwise for reverse) during playback.

Turn the MULTI DIAL in the same direc- tion to increase the scan speed—the speed is indicated at the top left of the screen.

Turn in the opposite direction to slow the scan speed/reverse direction.

To start high-speed scanning, turn the MULTI DIAL quickly (clockwise for forward; anti-clockwise for reverse) during playback.

Change the speed/direction in the same way as above.

• To resume normal playback, press .

To start manual scanning, press JOG (JOG MODE), then use the MULTI DIAL to advance frames in either direction.

To switch off jog mode, press JOG (JOG MODE) again. The picture remains paused until you restart playback.

• To resume normal playback, press .

You can scan Video CD/Super VCDs in the same way as DVD-Video discs (see above). However, reverse slow-motion scanning is not possible, and there are just two fast scanning speeds.
