Harman Kardon DVD 48 Owners Manual - Page 39

OPERATION If a "Ø" icon appears when you attempt to select a new title (group), this is an indication that the disc does not allow the title (group) to be changed in this manner. This is a function of the way the disc was created and is not a flaw in the DVD 48. For some discs, you may press the Title or Audio Button during playback to change the current title or group. Other discs will switch to the disc menu, and some discs may simply restart play from the beginning of the current title or group. This is a function of how the disc was authored, and does not reflect a problem with the DVD 48. Chapters and Tracks To select a chapter for DVD-Video discs or a track for DVD-Audio discs, first press the Status Button so that the Status Display appears. The Current Chapter or Track Number will be highlighted. Use the Numeric Keys to enter the desired chapter/track, press the Enter Button and it will begin playing immediately. To select a specific chapter or track on a DVD at any time during playback, simply press the number corresponding to the chapter or track you wish to view using the Numeric Keys. The number will appear in the upper left corner of the screen. Press the Enter Button to switch to the selected chapter or track. You may also move one by one through the chapters or tracks at any time by pressing the Skip Reverse (Previous)/Skip Forward (Next) Buttons. Audio Soundtracks Many DVDs contain more than one audio soundtrack. On many discs, you will find multiple languages, while others offer a choice of different audio formats or mixes (e.g., Dolby Digital or DTS). Some will also contain commentary from the director or stars. The default audio language is set in the DISC SETUP menu. To change the audio soundtrack, press the Audio Select Button while the disc is playing to display the current audio soundtrack configuration. See Figure 41. Figure 41 - Audio Display Each press of the Audio Select Button or the Enter Button will change the current audio soundtrack. Don't press any of the Numeric Keys to select an audio track; doing so will change the chapter or track. When the desired selection appears, wait 5 seconds for the display to clear on its own. NOTES ON AUDIO TRACKS: • Not all discs contain multiple audio soundtrack choices. Check the information on the disc jacket to see what audio languages or format options are available. • Some DVDs do not allow direct selection of the audio track during playback. For these discs, you must change the audio soundtrack using the disc's menu system. Press the Disc Menu Button to display the disc's menu and then use the Navigation Buttons to make your selection following the navigation scheme of the individual disc. • When you change the audio soundtrack or language with the Audio Select Button on the remote control as shown above, you only override the audio language setting established in the DISC SETUP menu for the disc currently being played. The unit will revert to its default setting with the next disc. Subtitles (DVD-Video Discs Only) Many DVDs contain one or more subtitle languages. The default subtitle language is set in the DISC SETUP menu, but you may also turn the subtitles on or off, or change the language at any time during a disc's playback. To change the subtitle language or turn the subtitles on or off, press the Subtitle Button while the disc is playing to display the current Subtitle configuration. See Figure 42. Each press of either the Subtitle Button or the Enter Button will change the current subtitle language, or turn subtitling off. Figure 42 - Subtitle Display When your desired selection appears, wait five seconds for the display to clear on its own. NOTE: Due to the variations in how DVD discs are authored, subtitle languages displayed by the DVD 48 may not accurately reflect the actual languages available on the disc. It is recommended that subtitles be selected using the disc's menu. Angles (DVD-Video Discs Only) Some DVDs contain multiple-angle views, which allow the disc's creators to provide different camera views of the same scene. In many cases the disc will alert you to the presence of multiple angles by showing a camera icon or other indication, but in any case where multiple-angle material is available, if the Angle Mark setting in the DISC SETUP menu has been set to On, the Multiple Angle Icon will appear continuously throughout the passage where multiple angles are available. If the Angle Mark setting is Off, the icon will only appear on screen briefly at the beginning of the passage. In both cases, the front-panel Angle Indicator will remain lit throughout the entire passage. When multiple angle views are available, press the Angle Button to change the view. See Figures 43 and 44. The current angle number and total available angles will be displayed. Each press of the Angle Button will change the current camera angle. If you press the Angle Button during a section without multiple views, onlly one view will be available.
