The elapsed time on the disc is shown in the top right of the page (e.g.
0:00:17).
There are three ways of accessing a specific part of the disc: Time,
Chapter and Title.
TIME
Highlight the Time field, enter the time in hours, minutes and seconds,
and press OK. Invalid time entries are ignored.
CHAPTER
Highlight the Chapter field, enter the chapter number and press OK.
TITLE
Highlight the Title field, enter the title number and press OK. Most discs
are arranged with the bulk of the material on one title, but this feature
may be useful with specialist DVDs.
SPECIAL PLAYBACK MODES
There are some special playback modes available that allow repeat of
the chapter or title, random play and programmed playback.
To set Repeat or Random playback, press the P MODE button on the
remote control to open the ‘Play modes’ menu:

REPEAT
Use the cursor pad to highlight the ‘Repeat’ field, and cycle through
‘Off’, ‘Chapter’ and ‘Title’. Press P MODE to exit.
When ‘Repeat: Chapter’ is set, the loop symbol lights in the display and
the current chapter is repeated. When ‘Repeat: Title’ is set, the loop
symbol and ‘ALL’ lights in the display and the current title is repeated.
To cancel repeat, press
STOP or return to the ‘Play mode’ menu and
switch it off.
RANDOM
Use the cursor pad to highlight the ‘Random’ field, and toggle between
‘Off’ and ‘On’. Press P MODE to exit. The ‘RAND’ indicator shows in the
display, and the chapters are played in random order.

and switch it off.

playback. Enter both title and chapter numbers for each. If you enter
data that is invalid for the current disc, the field reverts to ‘

Enter the programme sequence, starting in the top left corner and
going down each column in turn. For example, if you want to play
chapters 05, 07, 09, 04, 08, 03, 01 in that order (and the movie was on
title 01), enter:
