Reading: This is a message that you
will see when you first press the Play
Button

B
. It refers to the fact
that the player must first examine the
contents of the disc to see whether it
is a CD or DVD, and then extract the
information about the type of material
on the disc, such as languages,
aspect ratios, subtitles, number of
titles and more. The slight delay while
the contents of the disc are read is
normal.
Resume: The operation of the Stop
Button
7
D
on the DVD280 works
differently from what you are used to
on CD players. On a traditional CD
player, when you press the Stop but-
ton, the unit
does just that: It stops
playback. On a CD player,
when you
press the Start button again, the disc
starts from the beginning. With the
DVD280, however, you have two
options when playing DVD discs.
Pressing the Stop Button
7
D
once
will stop the playback, but it actually
puts the unit in the Resume mode.
This means that you can turn the
machine off and, when you press the
Play Button
5
B
the next time, the
disc will resume or continue from the
point on the disc where the Stop
Button
7
D
was pressed. This is
helpful if you are watching a movie
and must interrupt your viewing ses-
sion but wish to pick up where you
left off. Pressing the Stop Button
7
D
twice will stop the machine in
a traditional manner and, when the
disc is played again, it will start from
the beginning.
In Resume mode, the cover of the
DVD will be displayed, if available.
Otherwise, the JBL screen will
appear. The resume function is not
available for CDs or JPEG files. For
DVDs only, the resume function will
be retained even after the DVD280
has been placed in Standby mode by
pressing the Power On/Off Button 2
W, but not after the unit has been
fully powered down by pressing the
Main Power On/Off Button 1, or
after the unit has been unplugged
from AC power.
Title: For a DVD, a title is defined as
an entire movie or program. There
may be as many chapters within a
title as the producers decide to
include. Most discs include only one
title, but some may have more than
one, to give you a “Double Feature”
presentation or to include other spe-
cial features. Press the Title Button
H
to see a listing of the titles on a
disc. When a disc has only one title,
pressing the Title Button
H
may
show a list of the chapters.
WMA Files: WMA (Windows Media
®
Audio) is an audio compression for-
mat that was developed by the
Microsoft
®
Corporation for use with
its Windows Media Player. WMA files
can be even smaller in size than MP3
files, while maintaining similar quality.
The DVD280 is among the few DVD
players capable of playing discs
containing WMA files. Note that
Windows Media Player uses other
file formats; however, the DVD280 is
only capable of playing files that end
in the “.wma” extension.
