PLAYING DVDs and CDs
Using the On-Screen Status Display
When a DVD or CD is playing, you may press the
Status Button x at any time to view a quick
summary of the disc’s playback status. The Status Bar
not only gives you a snapshot of the unit’s current
state; it also provides an easy way to select a different
title, chapter or time display.
For DVDs:
• Title ƒ: This display shows the current title.
• Chapter ©: This display shows the current
chapter.
• Playback Status ˙: This section shows whether
the unit is in Play or Pause, or whether it is in a fast
or slow search/scan mode.
• Time Display Type î: This section identifies the
type of information in the Time Display ¬ section
of the display.
• Options ∆: This line is blank when the Status
Display is first accessed, but when it is used to
change the title, chapter or time display, the available
choices will be shown here.
• Time Bar ˚: This display is a graphic representa-
tion of the time remaining for the disc being played.
As the disc plays, blue bars will appear to give a
relative indication of where the current scene is
between the beginning and end of the title.
• Time Display ¬: This section of the display shows
the time corresponding to the type of display indi-
cated in the Time Display Type î.
When a CD is playing, the Title and Chapter lines are
replaced by a single line that shows the current Track
being played.
Selecting a Title (for DVDs)
To select a title, first press the Status Button N so
that the Status Display appears. The Current Title ƒ

Buttons 4 to select the desired title in a highlighted
blue box and press the Enter Button P to begin
playing the new title. Note that if a “ø” icon appears
when you attempt to select a new title, this is an indi-
cation that the disc does not allow the title to be
changed in this manner even though a list of title num-
bers will appear. This is a function of the way the disc
was created and is not a flaw in the DVD 22.

will be displayed; however, you will not be able to
change them. To navigate a JPEG disc, you must use
the Player Menu of the OSD system (see page 28).
Selecting the Audio Track (DVDs Only)
Many DVDs contain more than one audio track. On
many discs, you will find multiple languages, while
others will offer a choice of different audio formats
or mixes (e.g., Dolby Digital or DTS), while some will
