Programmed Play

Programmed play allows you to select any

track, title or chapter from any disc in the

DVD 5 for playback in a specific order. This type

of programming is particularly useful for parties

or other situations where you want continual

playback of specific selections for a long period

of time. To program the discs in the DVD 5 for

playback, follow these steps:

1. Press the

Program Button

u

on the

remote. Note that the Program Edit Screen

(Figure 25) will appear on the video display.

Buttons

e

. When the desired disc number

appears in the disc

’

s box in white over a blue

background, press the

Enter Button

d

or

›

Navigation Button

e

to move to the next

selection.

3. The second box will now be highlighted in

blue to indicate that a selection for track or title

is to be made. As the DVD 5 already knows the

disc type for the position selected, the heading

over the box will indicate

“

Track

”

for CD discs

and

“

Title

”

for DVD Discs. The number in paren-

thesis under the box shows the maximum

number of tracks or titles on the disc. If

“

99

”

appears, it indicates that the disc selected has

not yet been played and the unit does not yet

know the type of disc and how many titles or

tracks are available.

4. Press the

Navigation Buttons

e

to scroll through the list of available tracks or

titles. Press the

or

selection.

Note that most DVD movie discs use

“

Title 1

”

for movies, while

“

Title 2

”

is used for the open-

ing logos and piracy warnings. Before selecting

a DVD title number, you may wish to preview

the disc while the on-screen Menu Bar is active

to see which title numbers refer to each portion

of the disc. This is particularly important in discs

with large amounts of special feature material.

5. The third box will now be highlighted in blue

to indicate that a selection for chapter should

be made. This choice is available only for DVD

discs, as CD discs do not have chapter capa-

bility. The number in parenthesis under the box

shows the maximum number of chapters on the

disc. If

“

99

”

appears, it indicates that the disc

selected has not yet been played and the unit

does not yet know the type of disc and how

many titles or tracks are available. If

“

0

”

appears, this is your indication that the disc

is a CD.

6. Press the

track, title and chapter will be added to the

Play List column over a beige highlighted area.

The blue highlight will return to the disc box to

allow you to enter additional selections by

selections will be added to the Play List up to a

maximum of 22 steps.
