Basic Playback
—Continued
Notes:
• The type of disc currently selected is shown on the dis-
play: DVD, DVD-AUDIO, SACD, VCD, or CD (see
page 15).
•You can select discs while the DPC-8.5 is stopped or
during playback.
•You can use the [Disc Skip] button to skip the current
disc and start the next disc. If disc #6 is the current
disc, disc #1 will be selected next.
This section explains how to start, pause, and stop play-
back.
Notes:
• During playback, you can select chapters or tracks by
using the Up [ ] and Down [ ] buttons. The first
press of the Down [ ] button selects the beginning
of the current chapter.
• When you stop playback of a DVD disc or VCD, the
DPC-8.5 remembers the point at which playback was
stopped and “Resume” appears onscreen for a few
seconds. To resume playback from that point, press the
Play [ ] button. To cancel the Resume function, press
the Stop [ ] button again. The Resume function is
reset when another disc is selected.
•With the Last Memory function you can resume play-
back from a specific point even if another disc has
been selected or the disc has been removed (see
page 48).
• Do not move the DPC-8.5 or subject it to vibration
during playback. Doing so may damage your discs or
the DPC-8.5.
•You can improve the picture quality of paused play-
back with the Pause/Still setting (see page 63).
• Prolonged display of the same picture or menu may
cause irreparable damage to your TV screen called
screen burn-in
. To prevent this, don’t keep playback
paused for too long and always press the Stop [ ] but-
ton when you’ve finished playing a DVD-Video disc
or VCD. The DPC-8.5 features a screen saver to pro-
tect your TV from the effects of burn-in (see page 63).
•With some DVD-Video discs, you may experience
picture noise that is not normally visible with regular
TV broadcasts. This is usually because DVD-Video
uses a lot of high-resolution video data. The amount of
noise, if any, will depend on your particular TV and
the problem can sometimes be alleviated by turning
down your TV’s sharpness control.
