Chapter 3: Playing DVDs
Using a Disc Menu
A disc is capable of having an on-screen menu that is separate from the DVD’s menu system
and on-screen Info Display. The disc menu might only contain a list of the titles and chapters,
or it may allow you to change features such as language and playback settings. The content and
operation of disc menus vary from disc to disc.
Using the On-Screen Info Display
The on-screen Info Display contains many playback features. To see the Info Display, press the
INFO button on the remote while a disc is playing. The Info Display appears across the top of the
screen. Each feature is illustrated with an icon. Use the left/right arrow buttons on the remote to
move through the different icons in the Info Display.
When an icon is highlighted, use the up/down arrow buttons on the remote to scroll through the
choices displayed in the text box under the icons.
Remember, you can only access the Info Display when you’re playing a disc. Also, the Info
Display features are only available if the disc was created with that particular feature (i.e., if you
select the Subtitle icon, you won’t be able to change the subtitle language unless the author of the
disc created the disc with subtitles).
The invalid symbol appears on the screen when you press a button that doesn’t have any
function. If one of the icons is “grayed out,” that Info Display feature isn’t available for the disc
you’re playing. To make the Info Display disappear from the screen, press INFO on the remote.
Time Display
This feature displays the audio/video time. For DVD discs, the time displayed refers to the current
title time. For Audio CDs, it refers to the current track time.
For DVD video discs, the Time Display also acts as a Time Search feature. This lets you go to a
particular scene in a movie by entering the time that scene is played. To use Time Search:
1. Press INFO on the remote to bring up the Info Display. Highlight the Time Display and enter the
elapsed time of the scene you wish to go to. For example, enter 01:12:00 to go to the scene that
plays at 1 hour and twelve minutes into the movie.
2. If you enter the complete time, the disc automatically jumps to the elapsed time you entered.
If you're entering a partial time, press OK on the remote to enter the number.
Note: For information about the Info Display for Audio CDs, Video CDs or
mp3 les, go to page 49.
