22 PLAYBACK BASICS

Basic playback with the DVD 5 involves func-
tions similar to those you may be familiar with
for conventional CD players or changers:

■ Turn the unit on by pressing in the Master

Power Switch 1, if it has not already
been engaged.

■ Press the Standby Switch 2/b. If there

are already discs loaded in the unit, the last
disc to be played will automatically begin
playing.

■ If the disc was stopped using the Resume

function, playback will begin from the point
where it was stopped. If the disc was
stopped by pressing the Stop Button
!/j twice, the disc will begin playing
from its beginning.

■ Load any new discs as indicated in the 

previous section.

■ After loading discs, press the Open/Close

Button 9/i to begin play.

Playback Features for DVD and CD Discs:

■ To move to the next disc in the unit, press

the Disk-Skip Button 7/n.

■ To select a specific disc in the player, press

the Direct-Access Button # correspon-
ding to the slot where that disc is loaded.

■ To momentarily pause playback and freeze

the current picture frame on a DVD, press
the Pause Button @/x. To resume play-
back after pressing the Pause button, press
the Play Button @/g.

■ To move forward or backward through the

tracks on a CD or the chapters on a DVD,
press the Skip Forward/Reverse Buttons
) on the front panel or the Previous/
Next Buttons on the remote k/l.

■ To move forward or backward through the

DVD or CD disc being played at fast speed,
press the Search Forward/Reverse
Buttons 8/h/y. Once one of these
buttons is pressed, the fast search will 
continue until the Play Button @/g is
pressed. Note that the fast-play speeds vary
for CD discs and DVDs.

For DVD playback, there are four fast-play
speeds. Each press of the Search
Forward/Reverse Buttons 8/h/y will
cycle to the next speed in the following order:

■ In Fast Search x2, the ‹‹ and ›› Playback

Mode Indicators K will both light 
steadily.

■ In Fast Search x4, the outside ‹‹ or ››

Playback Mode Indicator K will flash
and the inside indicator will remain 
steadily lit.

■ In Fast Search x8, the inside ‹‹ or ››

Playback Mode Indicator K will flash
and the outside indicator will remain 
steadily lit.

■ In Fast Search x16, both ‹‹ and ››

Playback Mode Indicators K will flash.

Note that there will be no audio playback dur-
ing fast-forward or -reverse play of DVD discs.
This is normal for DVD, as A/V receivers and
surround processors cannot process the 
digital audio streams during fast-play modes;
audio will be heard during fast-play of 
conventional CDs.

For CD playback, there are three fast-play
speeds. Each press of the of the Search
Forward/Reverse Buttons 8/h/y will
cycle to the next speed in the following order:

■ In Fast Search x2, the ‹‹ and ›› Playback

Mode Indicators K will both light 
steadily 

■ In Fast Search x4, the outside ‹‹ or ››

Playback Mode Indicator K will flash
and the inside indicator will remain 
steadily lit.

■ In Fast Search x8, the inside ‹‹ or ››

Playback Mode Indicator K will flash
and the outside indicator will remain 
steadily lit.

When playing a DVD disc, you may move for-
ward or backward through the program being
played in one of four speeds by pressing the
Slow-Play Buttons w on the remote. Each
press of the buttons will move to the next
speed in the following order:

■ In the 1/16th Speed Slow mode, the 

‹‹ and ›› Playback Mode Indicators
K will both flash.

■ In the 1/8th Speed Slow mode, the inside

‹‹ and ›› Playback Mode Indicator K
will flash and the outside indicator will
remain steadily lit.

■ In the 1/4 Speed Slow mode, the outside 

‹‹ or ›› Playback Mode Indicator K
will flash and the inside indicator will 
remain steadily lit.

■ In the 1/2 Speed Slow mode, both the 

‹‹ and ›› Playback Mode Indicators
K will remain steadily lit.

Note that there will be no audio playback dur-
ing slow-forward or -reverse play of DVD discs.
This is normal for DVD, as A/V receivers and
surround processors cannot process the digital
audio streams during slow modes. Slow play is
not available for CD discs.

■ When a camera icon appears on the screen,

this is your indication that there is multiple-
angle information on the disc being played.
To change the angle, press the Angle
Button

until the desired angle view

appears. An on-screen banner message will
appear to indicate the angle view in use.

To illuminate the buttons on the remote control
so that they may be seen in low-light condi-
tions, press the Light Button r.

Note: Playback of discs with 96kHz/24-bit
audio requires the use of circuitry normally used
for other features. Accordingly, Slow Play,
Forward/Reverse Search, Step Advance and
Pause features are not available with these
discs.
