Disc playback features

Important

Many of the functions covered in this chapter apply to DVD discs, Video CDs/ Super VCDs, CDs, DivX video/WMV and WMA/MP3/MPEG-4 AAC/JPEG discs, although the exact operation of some varies slightly with the kind of disc loaded.

Some DVDs restrict the use of some functions (random or repeat, for example) in some or all parts of the disc. This is not a malfunction.

When playing Video CD/Super VCDs, some of the functions are not available during PBC playback. If you want to use them, start the disc playing using a number button to select a track.

1During playback, press (pause).

2Press and hold /or /until slow motion playback starts.

Press repeatedly to change the slow motion speed (shown on-screen).

To resume playback, press  (play).2

Frame advance/frame reverse

You can advance or back up DVD discs frame- by-frame. With Video CD/Super VCDs and DivX video/WMV you can only use frame advance.

1During playback, press (pause).

2Press / or / to reverse or advance a frame at a time.

To resume playback, press  (play).2

Scanning discs

You can fast-scan discs forward or backward at various different speeds.1

During playback, press or to start scanning.

Press repeatedly to increase the scanning speed (shown on-screen).

To resume playback, press  (play).2

Playing in slow motion

You can play DVDs, Video CD/Super VCDs and DivX video/WMV at four different forward slow motion speeds. DVD discs can also be played in reverse slow motion.

Playing a JPEG slideshow

After loading a disc containing JPEG pictures, press  to start a slideshow from the first folder/picture on the disc.3 The player displays the pictures in each folder in alphabetical order.

If the disc contains WMA/MP3/MPEG-4 AAC files, playback of the slideshow and audio files repeats. During audio playback, you can still use the skip (/), scan (/) and pause () functions.

Pictures are automatically adjusted so that they fill as much of the screen as possible.

Note

1 Only one speed is available for DivX video/WMV discs.

2• Depending on the disc, normal playback may automatically resume when a new chapter is reached on a DVD disc.

For Video CDs/Super VCDs in PBC mode and WMA/MP3/MPEG-4 AAC tracks (in Scan mode only), normal playback resumes when you reach the beginning or the end of track.

3 • The time it takes for the player to load a file increases with large file sizes.

Discs can contain up to 299 folders and up to 648 folders and files combined.
