PLAYING DVD DISCS  21

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

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

Note: When a CD or VCD is played, a different Ez
Menu Banner will appear, see page 26.

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

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

Brightness: The number indicates the current
setting. +/- 49 levels are available.

Contrast: The number indicates the current
setting. +/- 49 levels are available.

Color: The number indicates the current setting.
+/- 49 levels are available.

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

Time: This item displays the time in DVD mode.
Press the ARROW (

KL) step by step, for time

as follows: TIME (title elapsed time) - REMAIN
(title remaining time) - CHAPTER (chapter
elapsed time) - C-REMAIN (chapter remaining
time). If you press ENTER, the player displays SET
TIME. You can enter the starting time from which
you wish the disc to play, then press ENTER or
PLAY to start playback from the selected point on
the disc.

V-Mode: Some DVD discs currently available
contain a video data inconsistency resulting in an
unwanted screen artifact. This can occur during
video standard conversion as from NTSC to PAL
or from Interlaced to Progressive.

To overcome these artifacts select the ”V” field
on the far right side of the banner, then change
the setting from 0 to either 1 or 2 until the arti-
facts disappear (for more details see ”TV
Standard, page 17).

The invalid symbol 

Ø appears on the screen

when you press a button that doesn’t have any
function. To make the Banner Display disappear
from the screen, press Ez Menu or CLEAR on the
remote control.

Brightness, contrast and color cannot be selected
in the EzMenu Banner, if PICTURE CONTROL in
the VIDEO MENU has been set to BYPASS. To be
able to access these settings, please set the
PICTURE CONTROL to ACTIVE.

Some discs contain more than one title. For
example, intros and ”making of” often are divid-
ed 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
press DONE again.
To select a specific title use the Title section in
the Banner Display:

1. During disc stop, resume or play mode, press

Ez Menu 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 ARROW (

KL) buttons to select a

title number, or 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, move the cursor to the DONE box and
press ENTER.
You can skip to a specific chapter by using the
Chapter section in the Banner Display:

1. While a disc is in stop, resume or play mode,

press Ez Menu button on the remote.

2. Press the ARROW (

N or M ) on the remote

until the Chapter icon is highlighted.

3. Use the ARROW (

KL) buttons to select a

chapter number, or 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's can vary in picture quality. To correct for
any variations in Brightness, Contrast or Color in
the DVD you are viewing, select  one of the
picture icons in the EzMenu banner and adjust
the current setting up or down using the appro-
priate ARROW keys.

Note: For general, permanent adjustment of
picture quality, you should use the Test screen as
described on page 20 along with the picture
controls on your television.
