20 PLAYING DVD DISCS

The on-screen Banner Display contains many
playback features. To see the Banner Display,
press STATUS on the remote while a disc is play-
ing. Use the ARROW buttons on the remote to
move through the different features in the Banner
Display. Each feature is illustrated with an icon.

Use the ARROW buttons on the remote to high-
light a Banner Display icon. When an icon is high-
lighted, press ENTER on the remote to select it
(not needed with TITLE and CHAPTER) and to
change it (see below).

Please remember you can only access the Banner
Display when playing a disc. Also, each Banner
Display feature is 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).

Note: When a CD or VCD is played, a different
Banner Display will appear, see page 24.

Title: The number shown indicates the number of
the title that is currently playing.

Chapter: The number shown indicates the num-
ber of the chapter that is currently playing.

Audio: The number and abbreviation show the
audio language soundtrack that is currently 
playing. Consult the DVD jacket for the key to
available audio tracks on the disc.

Subtitles: The number and abbreviation show
the subtitle language that is currently playing.
Consult the DVD jacket for the key to available
subtitle languages on the disc.

Angles: The number shown indicates the multi-
ple angle view that is currently playing.

Bookmarks: Highlight this area and press the
Enter Button to mark or go to previously book-
marked locations on a disc.

Disc Type: The type of disc playing (DVD, VCD or
CD) is shown.

Time Indicator: The elapsed time of the 
current title is shown.

The invalid symbol 

Ø appears on the screen

when you press a button that doesn’t have any
function. If one of the icons is "grayed out," the
Banner Display feature isn’t available for the disc
you’re playing. To make the Banner Display disap-
pear from the screen, press STATUS or CLEAR on
the remote control.

Some discs contain more than one title. For exam-
ple, intros and "making of" often are divided into
several titles. You can press PROG on the remote
to view the number of titles recorded on a disc (in
parentheses below the "Title" icon) after a disc
was read and the player is in Stop or Resume
mode. To return to the normal display select
DONE in the menu.
To select a specific title use the Title section in the
Banner Display:

1. During disc playback, press STATUS on the

remote.

2. Press the appropriate ARROW button(s) on the

remote to highlight the Title icon.
(when Banner Display appears, this icon will
just be highlighted).

3. Use the NUMBER button(s) on the remote to

enter the title number.
The selected title will be played at once after
the last title number was entered.

Notes :
■ Some discs only have one title.

Because DVD discs use digital technology, a title
can be divided into individual chapters (similar to
tracks on a CD). You can press PROG on the
remote to see the numbers of chapters of each
individual title on a disc (below the "Chapter"
icon) after the disc was read and player is in Stop
or Resume mode. To escape from the program
menu select DONE in the menu.
You can skip to a specific chapter by using the
Chapter section in the Banner Display:

1. While a disc is playing, press STATUS button on

the remote.

2. Press the ARROW (RIGHT or LEFT) on the

remote until the Chapter icon is highlighted.

3. Use the NUMBER (0~9) buttons on the remote

to enter the chapter number. The selected
chapter will be played at once after the last
chapter number is entered.

Notes :
■ The Chapter feature won’t work if the disc isn’t

formatted with separate chapters.

DVD discs may contain a variety of audio tracks,
including foreign languages, special commen-
taries, descriptive video for the sight impaired,
and various digital formats. In normal play, the
unit will always look for the default setting for the
audio track, but you may change the audio track
at any time using the Menu Status Bar or the
AUDIO button on the remote and following these
steps:

1. During disc play, press STATUS on the remote.

Press the ARROW (LEFT OR RIGHT) on the
remote until the Audio icon on the Banner
Display is highlighted.

2. Press ENTER, the Audio Menu appears.

3. Press ENTER on the remote until the audio lan-

guage or digital format you want to use
appears in the text window.

4. To make the menu disappear from the screen,

press CLEAR or STATUS on the remote.

Notes :
■ The audio feature only works if the disc was

created with multiple audio tracks.

■ When you choose an audio language from the

Banner Display, you only override the audio
language setting in the DVD Player’s main
menu (Audio menu within Setup menu) 
temporarily.

■ Shortcut: You also can choose the audio lan-

guage/track any time by pressing AUDIO on
the remote control, regardless of whether the
Banner Display is on the screen or not.

DVD discs may contain a variety of subtitles. In
normal play, the unit will always look for the
default setting for the subtitle language, but you
may temporarily change that language at any
time using the Menu Status Bar or the SUBTITLE
button on the remote and by following these
steps:

1. While a disc is playing, press STATUS on the

remote.

2. Press the ARROW (LEFT OR RIGHT) until the

Subtitle icon (the letter ”S”) is highlighted.
Press ENTER, the Subtitle menu appears.

3. Press ENTER on the remote to change subtitle

language.

4. Each time SUBTITLE ON/OFF is pressed, the

subtitle appears (and a check mark icon to the
right of the Subtitle menu as confirmation) or
disappears on the screen.

5. To make the menu disappear from the screen,

press CLEAR or STATUS on the remote.
