OPERATION
to select this setting, and each subsequent press of the Enter Button
will change the time display from Title Elapsed, to Title Remaining,
to Chapter Elapsed to Chapter Remaining, and cycle back to Title
Elapsed. The time displayed on screen and in the front-panel
Information Display will change accordingly. For DVD-Audio discs,
the time display options are Group Elapsed, Group Remaining, Track
Elapsed and Track Remaining.
• Time Bar: This display is a graphic representation of the time elapsed
for the title being played. As the disc plays, the number of bars will
increase to reflect approximately what percentage of the title has been
played thus far. It is not affected by changes to the Time Display Type.
Titles and Groups
To select a title or group, first press the Status Button so that the Status
Display appears. Navigate so that the Current Title or Group is highlighted.
Use the Numeric Keys to enter the desired title/group and it will begin
playing immediately
. See Figure 38.
Figure 38 – Selecting a Title
If a “ø” icon appears when you attempt to select a new title (group),
this is an indication that the disc does not allow the title (group) to be
changed in this manner, even though a list of numbers will appear. This
is a function of the way the disc was created and is not a flaw in the
DVD 38.
For some discs, you may press the Title or Audio Button during playback
to change the current title or group. Other discs will switch to the disc
menu, and some discs may simply restart play from the beginning of the
current title or group. This is a function of how the disc was authored,
and does not reflect a problem with the DVD 38.
Chapters and Tracks
To select a chapter for DVD-Video discs or a track for DVD-Audio
discs, first press the Status Button so that the Status Display appears.
The Current Chapter or Track Number will be highlighted. Use the
Numeric Keys to enter the desired chapter/track, and it will begin
playing immediately.
To select a specific chapter or track on a DVD at any time during play-
back, simply press the number corresponding to the chapter or track
you wish to view using the Numeric Keys. You may also move one by
one through the chapters or tracks at any time by pressing the Skip
Reverse (Previous)/Skip Forward (Next) Buttons.
Audio Soundtracks
Many DVDs contain more than one audio soundtrack. On many discs,
you will find multiple languages, while others offer a choice of different
audio formats or mixes (e.g., Dolby Digital or DTS). Some will also con-
tain commentary from the director or stars. The default audio language
is set in the AUDIO SETUP menu.
To change the audio soundtrack, press the Audio Select Button to
display the Audio banner and show the current audio soundtrack
configuration. See Figure 39.
Figure 39 – Audio Status Bar
Each press of the Audio Select Button or the Enter Button will change
the current audio soundtrack. Don’t press any of the Numeric Keys to
select an audio track; doing so will change the chapter or track.
When the desired selection appears, press the
‹/› Navigation Buttons
so that Done is highlighted, and then press the Enter Button to remove
the banner display and return to normal playback.
NOTES ON AUDIO TRACKS:
• Not all discs contain multiple audio soundtrack choices.
Check the information on the disc jacket to see what audio
languages or format options are available.
• Some DVDs do not allow direct selection of the audio track
during playback. For these discs, you must change the audio
soundtrack using the disc’s menu system. Press the Disc
Menu Button to display the disc’s menu and then use the
Navigation Buttons to make your selection following the
navigation scheme of the individual disc.
• When you change the audio soundtrack or language with the
Audio Select Button on the remote control as shown above,
you only override the audio language setting established in the
AUDIO SETUP menu for the disc currently being played. The
unit will revert to its default setting with the next disc.
Subtitles (DVD-Video Discs Only)
Many DVDs contain one or more subtitle languages. The default subtitle
language is set in the SYSTEM SETUP menu, but you may also turn the
subtitles on or off, or change the language at any time during a disc’s
playback.
To change the subtitle language or turn the subtitles on or off, press
the Subtitle Button to display the Subtitle banner and show the current
configuration. See Figure 40. Each press of either the Subtitle Button
or the Enter Button will change the current subtitle language, or turn
subtitling off.

When your desired selection appears, press the ‹/› Navigation
Buttons until Done is highlighted and then press the Enter Button to
remove the banner display and return to normal playback.
NOTE: Due to the variations in how DVD discs are authored,
subtitle languages displayed by the DVD 38 may not accurately
reflect the actual languages available on the disc. It is recom-
mended that subtitles be selected using the disc’s menu.
Angles (DVD-Video Discs Only)
Some DVDs contain multiple-angle views, which allow the disc’s creators
to provide different camera views of the same scene. In many cases
the disc will alert you to the presence of multiple angles by showing a
camera icon or other indication, but in any case where multiple-angle
