DVD/VCD special playback modes
This section explains the special playback modes for DVDs and VCDs. The operations described here are
not exactly the same for DVDs and VCDs, but very similar.
Note that many VCDs have a single track, so some operations involving tracks will not be relevant.
Jumping to a particular point
Press the SRCH button on the remote control to open the ‘Search’ menu:
If the disc is playing, then the elapsed and total times on the disc are shown in the top
right of the page.
A jump can be performed using different speciers: jump to a particular time or to a
specied chapter/track on the disc.
Time
Highlight the ‘Time’ eld and enter the time in hours, minutes and seconds, then press
OK. The Search menu is removed from the screen and playback starts from the time
specied. Invalid time entries are ignored.
Title/Chapter
(Applies to DVDs only) To jump to a title or chapter, highlight the title/chapter position and enter the
number of the title/chapter to jump to, before pressing OK. It is possible to jump to a chapter within a
different title to the current one by entering a value into both elds. Note that specifying a title without a
chapter will jump to the rst chapter in the title.
Group/Track
(Applicable to DVD-audio discs only.) To jump to a group or track, highlight the group/track position and
enter the number of the group/track to jump to, before pressing OK. It is possible to jump to a track
within a different group to the current one by entering a value into both elds. Note that specifying a
group without a track will jump to the rst track in the group.
Track
(Applies to VCDs only) To jump to a specied track on a VCD, enter the track number in the ‘Track’ eld,
then press OK. Note that many VCDs have only one track.
Closing the Search menu
When displayed, this menu screen can be closed again by pressing the SRCH button (which also has the
effect of cancelling the search).
Special playback modes
Repeat, shufe or looped (A-B repeat) playback modes are available.
Repeat
Press the RPT button on the remote control to cycle through the repeat options. For DVDs, a chapter or
title repeat may be selected (i.e., play continuously the current chapter or the current title). For VCDs, a
track or disc repeat is available.
When a chapter/track repeat is selected, the loop symbol on the front panel display is illuminated and
the current chapter/track is repeated. If a title/disc repeat is selected, the loop symbol and ‘ALL’ are
illuminated and the current title/disc is repeated.
To cancel repeat, press the RPT button until ‘Repeat: Off’ is displayed.
Shufe
Press the SHUFF (CR-515) or RAND (CR-415) button on the remote control to switch shufe play on.This
causes the chapters/tracks to be played in random order.
To cancel random play, press the SHUFF (CR-515) or RAND (CR-415) button for a second time.
A-B repeat
The DV137 can repeat a specic section of a DVD or VCD; this is called an A-B repeat.
To perform an A-B repeat, wait until the disc is at the point where you want the repeat to start, then
press A-B. The OSD shows a repeat symbol, followed by ‘A–’, and the front panel shows ‘A–’.
Press A-B again at the point you want the repeat to end. The repeat symbol, followed by ‘A-B’ is shown
on the display device, and the front panel shows ‘A-B’. The selected section is repeated in a loop.
To cancel the A-B repeat, press A-B again. An ‘Off’ message is displayed on the OSD.
