Playing audio and video discs

Introduction

Most of the features described in this chapter make use of on-screen displays. For an explanation of how to navigate these, see Using the on-screen displays on page 28.

Many of the functions covered in this chapter apply to DVD discs, Video CDs, CDs and WMA/MP3/JPEG discs, although the exact operation of some varies slightly with the kind of disc loaded.

Some DVD discs restrict the use of some functions (random or repeat, for example). This is not a malfunction.

When playing Video CDs, 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

atrack.

•If you want to play the MP3 or WMA tracks on a disc that also contains JPEG picture files, make sure that the Photoviewer option is set to Off. See PhotoViewer on page 72.

Playing only CDs, MP3 and WMA discs (CD mode)

Using this feature you can play only the CDs, MP3 and WMA discs loaded in the disc tray— automatically skipping over any DVDs and Video CDs loaded. This may be useful if you have a mixture of discs loaded but only want to play music: you don't have to keep track of what kind of disc is where in the disc tray.

1Press CD MODE to switch CD mode on.

•The indicator on the front panel lights when CD mode is on.

2 Press (play) to start playback. The first CD loaded automatically starts to play.

Once all the CD/WMA/MP3 discs loaded have played, playback automatically stops.

•To cancel the CD mode, press CD MODE again.

•If you open the disc tray and load a DVD, Video CD or JPEG disc in the front-most

position then press (play) (on the front panel), CD mode is cancelled.

•You can't switch on CD mode while playing a DVD or Video CD. Stop playback first.

•Although program play is not possible in CD mode, it is possible to program a playlist. When you start program play- back, however, CD mode is cancelled.

•Repeat and random play is possible in CD mode (see Using repeat play on page 45 and Using random play on page 46).
