With the DVD 38, however, you have two options when playing most discs. Pressing the Stop Button once will stop the playback, but it actually puts the unit in the Resume mode. This means that you can turn the machine off and, when you press the Play Button the next time, the disc will resume playback from the point on the disc where the Stop Button was pressed. This is helpful if you are watching a movie and must interrupt your viewing session but wish to pick up where you left off. Pressing the Stop Button twice will stop the machine in a traditional manner and, when the disc is played again, it will start from the beginning. In Resume mode, the Harman Kardon screen will appear, and the RESUME message will appear in the Information Display. The resume function is not available for WMA files. For DVDs, CDs, MP3 files, JPEG files, and VCDs with PBC (Playback Control) only, the resume function will be retained even after the DVD 38 has been placed in Standby mode by pressing the Standby/On Switch, but not after the unit has been unplugged from AC power. Title: For a DVD, a title is defined as an entire movie or program. There may be as many chapters within a title as the producers decide to include. Most discs include only one title, but some may have more than one, to give you a "Double Feature" presentation or to include other special features. Press the Title Button to see a listing of the titles on a disc. When a disc has only one title, pressing the Title Button may show a list of the chapters. WMA Files: WMA (Windows Media® Audio) is an audio compression format that was developed by the Microsoft® Corporation for use with its Windows Media Player and other devices. WMA files can be even smaller in size than MP3 files, while maintaining similar quality. The DVD 38 is capable of playing WMA files stored on a disc. Although Windows Media Player uses other file formats, the DVD 38 is only capable of playing WMA files that end in the ".wma" extension. GLOSSARY 49
