Playback in a Desired Order
(Program Play) – DVD/Video CD/CD
The titles and chapters on a DVD and similarly the tracks
on a Video CD or CD can be arranged to play in the order
you want. You can create a program mixing titles,
chapters, and tracks on all of the discs loaded in the disc
tray.
Note
Although program play is not possible in CD mode, it is
possible to program a playlist. When you start program
playback, however, CD mode is canceled.
Programming
A program with a maximum of 24 steps can be
memorized from any of discs loaded in this player.
1 Press PROGRAM.
The Program screen appears.
2 Use the number buttons or DISC (1
through 5) to enter a disc number.
• If this is the first step you are programming, the
number of the disc that is currently in the play
position will appear automatically.
• If the player has already read the contents of the
disc you want to program, the disc information
appears in the box on the right side of the screen
(type of disc, number of titles/chapters/tracks,
etc.). If the player has not yet read the disc then
“? ? ?” appears in the box for disc type.
Note
If you want to program the entire selected disc, proceed to
step 7.
3 Use the cursor buttons (3) to select the
Title/Track field.
4 Use the number buttons to enter the title
or track numbers in the order you want.
• For DVDs, this number will be a disc title; for
Video CDs and CDs, a track number.
• To enter title/track 6, press 6. To enter title/track
14, press 1, 4.
Notes
• If the current disc is a DVD, and you want to program
chapters, proceed to the next step.
• If the current disc is a Video CD or CD, or if you want to
program entire titles on a DVD, proceed to step 7.
5 Use the cursor buttons (3) to select the
Chapter field.
6 Use the number buttons to enter the
chapter numbers in the order you want.
7 Press ENTER or the cursor button (∞).
• The cursor moves down to the disc number field
in the next step set.
8 Repeat steps 2-7.
9 Press PLAY 3 to start playback in the
programmed order.
• Press PROGRAM to exit the program screen.
• The program remains active even if you open the
disc tray and change discs. If a step in the
program cannot be played (because the track
number is too high, for example), that step is
automatically skipped.
