OPERATION Reverse Buttons on the front panel or the Previous/Next Buttons on the remote. • To move forward or backward through a DVD, SACD or CD disc being played at fast speed, press the Search Forward/Reverse Buttons on the remote, or press and hold the front-panel Skip/Search Buttons briefly until fast play begins and then release them. Once one of these buttons is pressed, fast search will continue until the Play Button is pressed. Each additional press of the Search Forward/Reverse Buttons will cycle through the six available fast-search speeds: ~1-1/2x, 4x, 6x, 8x, 16x, 32x. NOTE: Fast search is available when DVD-Audio and MP3 and discs are playing, but not for WMA and JPEG discs. Search speeds available may vary for different types of discs. • When a DVD or VCD is playing, you may move forward or backward through the disc in slow motion by first pressing the Pause Button and then pressing the Search/Slow Forward or Reverse Buttons. Each additional press of the buttons will cycle the player through one of the four forward slow-play speeds: 1/2x, 1/4x, 1/8x or 1/16x, or one of the three reverse slow-play speeds (DVD only): 1/2x, 1/4x or 1/8x. Press the Play Button to resume normal playback. NOTE: There is no audio playback during fast or slow-forward or -reverse play. This is normal for DVDs, as surround processors cannot process the digital audio streams during slow modes. Slow-play forward is available for VCDs, but not for audio CDs, MP3s or WMAs. Slow-play speeds may vary for different types of discs. • To advance frame by frame while a DVD is playing, press the Pause Button. Each additional press of the Pause Button will advance one frame. Press the Play Button to resume normal play. Frame-by-frame movement in reverse is not available. NOTE: Playback of a disc with 96kHz/24-bit audio requires the use of circuitry normally used for other features. Accordingly, the Slow Play Reverse and Step Advance features are not available with these discs. • When a camera icon appears on screen, or the Angle Indicator appears on the front panel, it indicates that there is multiple-angle information on the disc being played. To change the angle, press the Angle Button repeatedly until the desired angle view appears. An on-screen message will indicate the current angle view. • To illuminate the buttons on the remote control so that they may be seen in low-light conditions, press the Light Button. The availability of the Zoom, Repeat, Repeat A-B and Random functions depends on the type of disc. In addition, the availability of the Media Player screens and Status DIsplay vary from one disc type to another. These features are described in the following sections describing playback of DVDs, CDs, MP3s, WMAs, JPEGs and VCDs. Programming playlists is explained after the section on VCDs. Video Off Feature The Video Off feature is available at all times, and is recommended during playback of audio-only discs, such as SACD, CD, DVD-Audio, MP3 or WMA discs. Although the video circuitry 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 audio playback. IMPORTANT NOTE: It is strongly recommended that plasma and CRT video display owners use the Video Off feature to avoid burn-in, especially as some audio discs display still images continuously, and the DVD 48's on-screen setup menus may remain in view indefinitely. To turn the video displays off while an audio disc is playing, press the Video Off Button. Press the button again to restore the video output. The V-Off Indicator will light in red to remind you that the video displays have been turned off. The video output will automatically be restored each time the DVD 48 is turned on. 36
