SPECIAL FUNCTION FEATURES
PAUSE
Operation is interrupted at the point where you press the PAUSE key, and the video picture disappears from the TV screen. To get a picture again, press one of the function keys (PAUSE, PLAY, FAST, SCAN, SLOW, STILL/STEP), and operation will then be resumed. A red indicator lights up on the PAUSE key during the pause mode.
AUDIO
All laser discs have two audio channels.
Both audio channels always turn on when the player's power is turned on . The red indicators on both AUDIO keys light up at the same time.
In special cases, such as bilingual program, you do not want to reproduce both channels simultaneously, press either the Li1 or R/ 2 key to turn off the sound from the channel you are not using. This will also turn off the indicator light on the key. Press the same key again to turn on the sound from that channel again; the indicator will also come back on.
NOTE:
Audio reproduction is only possible in the normal play mode. Also, there w ill be no sound if both audio key indicators are off. When one audio channel is in use the sound is fed to both audio outputs.

Fast play continues for as long as you keep pressing the key, and audio is not reproduced.

NOTE:
The FAST, SCAN, SLOW, and STILL /S TEP keys are rocker type switches, so they will not operate if you press the center of the key. Please do not press down hard on both ends of a key at once since this may damage the mechanism.
