remote to view the number of titles recorded on a disc
(in parentheses below the “Title” icon) after a disc was

remote to see the numbers of chapters of each
individual title on a disc (below the “Chapter” icon)
after the disc has been read and the player is in Stop

Many discs contain more than one audio track. In
some cases multiple languages may be present, in
other case you will find the same language, but in
different audio formats (e.g., Dolby Digital or DTS) or

Video Service. To change the language when the

Selecting the Progressive Scan Format
When the DVD 25 is configured for progressive scan
playback the unit automatically selects the type of
progressive scan reconstruction that produces the best
picture. However, when certain processing techniques
are used during the transfer of a film to video or in the
creation of the disc it is possible that artifacts in the
disc may “fool” the processor into using an algorithm
that produces unwanted screen artifacts. In these
cases, manually selecting the progressive scan mode
may improve the progressive scan output. To manually
select a mode, press the
‹
/
› Navigation Buttons
j until PS is highlighted. Then press the
⁄
/
¤
Navigation Buttons j to cycle through the four
available modes.
