Programmed Order has been selected at the

Playlist setting.

Repeat 1 Track:

For CDs, SACDs, VCDs, MP3s

and WMAs, repeats the track or file currently being

played until the disc is manually stopped. The

A-B Repeat Play

The Repeat A-B function allows you to select any por-

tion of a CD or SACD and have it repeat continually

until the unit is manually stopped.

To initiate a Repeat A-B playback sequence, follow

these steps while a disc is playing:

1. Press the

A-B Repeat Button

Random Play

The Random Play function will play all of the tracks on

a CD in a random order, as selected by the DVD 47.

Once the DVD 47 has played all of the tracks on the

disc once, it will stop.

You may select the random mode by pressing the

Random Button

the

Random Button

Information Display

will light any time the

Random setting is on. Random play is not available

for SACDs.

Video Off Feature

During CD playback, some listeners may prefer to turn

off the DVD 47’s video circuitry. Although the video

section is electrically isolated from the audio section,

some users may prefer to turn the video displays off

during audio playback to prevent any possibility of

interference between audio and video. You may also

wish to turn the video display off if you find the menu

system distracting or unnecessary during CD playback.

IMPORTANT NOTE:

It is strongly recommended that

plasma video display owners use the Video Off feature

to avoid burn-in.

To turn the video displays off while a CD is playing,

simply press the

Video Off Button

F

. Press the

button again to restore the video output. The

V-Off

Indicator

H

will light to remind you that the video

displays have been turned off. Note that the video

output will automatically be restored each time the

DVD 47 is turned on.

SACD Discs

SACD discs are a vast improvement in sound quality

over the original compact disc. Due to improvements

in laser technology, SACDs allow information to be

packed more densely on the disc, which in turn means

that more information than ever may be stored on a

single disc. The benefit to the audiophile listener is

improved resolution and quality of 2-channel record-

ings, and a whole new world of multichannel audio

recordings.

Some earlier SACD discs contain only a two-channel

program. Newer discs may contain both a 2-channel

and a multichannel version of the same materials. As

described on page 22, a setting in the

Audio

Setup

submenu is used to select between

2-channel and multichannel SACD playback, or to

select the CD layer of the disc. Check the jacket of

your disc to ascertain which formats are available.

SACD playback requires the use of the

6-Channel

Audio Outputs

±

or the

Analog Audio Outputs

µ

(for 2-channel playback only). If only the

HDMI

´

,

Optical

²

or

Coaxial Digital Audio Outputs

³

are used, no sound will be heard.

Random play and programmed playlists are not

supported for SACD discs. Also, it is not possible to

clear the Player Information screens from the display,

although you may press the

Video Off Button

F

to turn off the video display altogether.
