25 DVD PLAYBACK

Changing the Playback Language
Note that the audio track type selected in this
fashion is temporary and will only remain in
effect until the player is turned off. When the
unit is turned on for subsequent play, the
default audio type will always be used.

The audio track may also be selected during the
playback of a DVD by pressing the Audio
Button a. After pressing the button, the
audio track may be changed by pressing the
Enter Button d until the desired audio
track is shown. Note, however, that some discs
do not allow audio track change while a disc is
playing. When the Audio Button a is
pressed on this type of disc, the player will go
the disc’s own menu page for audio track 
selection. In this case, use the 

‹

›

⁄

¤

Navigation Buttons e to make the selec-
tion from the menu screen and then press the
Enter Button d.

The functionality of the Audio Button a
may vary from disc to disc. Many discs will
allow you to change the playback language
while the disc is playing, as noted earlier.
However, when the Audio Button a is
pressed with some discs, playback will stop and
you will be taken to the disc’s own audio menu.
At that menu, use the 

‹

›

⁄

¤

Buttons e to highlight the desired playback
language. Press the Enter Button d when
the choice is made and the disc will either
resume playback or take you to the disc’s main
menu. Note that these functions are controlled
by information programmed within the disc,
and are outside of the control of the DVD 5.

Changing the Subtitle Language
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 change that language at any time
using the Menu Status Bar and by following
these steps:

1. During disc playback, press the Mode
Button c.

2. Press the 

‹

›

Navigation Buttons e

until the letter “S” icon (fourth from the left) is
highlighted in white between yellow brackets.

3. Press the Enter Button d.

4. Note that the main Menu Bar will be
replaced with a single display of the subtitle
language (Figure 18).

Figure 18

5. Press the Enter Button d until the
desired subtitle language is displayed. Note
that the subtitles available on a disc will vary,
and they are always listed on the disc’s jacket
or cover. Some discs may not offer alternative
subtitles, or any subtitles at all.

6. Within a few seconds, the disc will continue
to play with the newly selected subtitle lan-
guage.

Note that the subtitle language selected in this
fashion is temporary, and will remain in effect
until the player is turned off. When the unit 
is turned on for subsequent play, the default
subtitle language will always be used.

The subtitle language may also be selected dur-
ing the playback of a DVD by pressing the
Subtitle Button

. After pressing the but-

ton, the language may be changed by pressing
the Enter Button d until the desired choice
is shown. Note, however, that some discs do
not allow audio track change while the disc is
playing. When the Audio Button a is
pressed, the player will go to the disc’s own
menu page for subtitle disc selection. In this
case, use the 

‹

›

⁄

¤

e to make the selection from the menu
screen and then press the Enter Button d.

IMPORTANT NOTE: The steps indicated on 
the page allow you to change the subtitle lan-
guage, but they do not determine if the sub-
titles are actually displayed on the screen. To
have the subtitles appear at any time, press the
Subtitle On/Off Button z to toggle the
subtitles on or off with each press of the but-
ton. When the subtitles are active, a Check-
mark icon “✔” will appear in the box to the
right of the subtitle description as shown earlier.

Also note that some DVD discs do not contain
subtitles. When the Subtitle On/Off Button
z is pressed on a disc with no subtitles, the
Prohibit icon “

X” will appear on screen.

Changing Camera Angles
A special feature of the DVD format is its capa-
bility of showing more than one view, or cam-
era angle, of the same scene. This feature
enables you to become the director, selecting
the view of a scene that you wish. Note, how-
ever, that this feature does not appear on many
discs and, when it does appear, it will typically
be for only certain scenes and not for the entire
disc’s program. If you attempt to use the multi-
ple-angle feature on a disc that is not pro-
grammed for it, you may see the Prohibited
Feature icon “

X” on the screen. This is not a

fault of the player, but it simply indicates that
the feature is not available on the disc being
played.

To see if a disc contains multiple angles, check
the disc’s cover or jacket. When a disc does
contain scenes with multiple angles, the pro-
ducers will usually include some sort of special
on-screen icon to alert you to the availability of
different angles of view. When you see such an
icon, the angle may be changed by the follow-
ing steps:

1. Press the Mode button c.

2. Press the 

‹

›

Navigation Buttons e

until the camera icon with the letters “Ang”
below it (fifth from the left) is highlighted in
white between yellow brackets.

3. Press the Enter Button d.

4. Note that the main Menu Bar will be
replaced with a single display of the angle
number (Figure 19).

Figure 19

5. Press the Enter Button d until the
desired angle is shown. Note that the number
of angles available is set by the disc’s producer,
not the DVD 5, and it may vary from disc 
to disc.

You may also change the angle directly by
pressing the Angle Button

when multi-

ple angles are present, until the desired angle
appears on the screen.

you may program a specific order for discs and
tracks to play.

order from beginning to end.

■ Repeat 1 Disc: Plays a specific disc from

ally until the Stop Button !/j is pressed.

28 PROGRAMMED PLAY

Programmed Play
Programmed play allows you to select any
track, title or chapter from any disc in the
DVD 5 for playback in a specific order. This type
of programming is particularly useful for parties
or other situations where you want continual
playback of specific selections for a long period
of time. To program the discs in the DVD 5 for
playback, follow these steps:

1. Press the Program Button u on the
remote. Note that the Program Edit Screen
(Figure 25) will appear on the video display.

Figure 25

2. Select the disc position for the first playback
selection by pressing the 

⁄

¤

Buttons e. When the desired disc number
appears in the disc’s box in white over a blue
background, press the Enter Button d or 

›

Navigation Button e to move to the next
selection.

3. The second box will now be highlighted in
blue to indicate that a selection for track or title
is to be made. As the DVD 5 already knows the
disc type for the position selected, the heading
over the box will indicate “Track” for CD discs
and “Title” for DVD Discs. The number in paren-
thesis under the box shows the maximum 
number of tracks or titles on the disc. If “99”
appears, it indicates that the disc selected has
not yet been played and the unit does not yet
know the type of disc and how many titles or
tracks are available.

4. Press the 

⁄

¤

Navigation Buttons e

to scroll through the list of available tracks or
titles. Press the Enter Button d or

Note that most DVD movie discs use “Title 1”
for movies, while “Title 2” is used for the open-
ing logos and piracy warnings. Before selecting
a DVD title number, you may wish to preview
the disc while the on-screen Menu Bar is active
to see which title numbers refer to each portion

of the disc. This is particularly important in discs
with large amounts of special feature material.

5. The third box will now be highlighted in blue
to indicate that a selection for chapter should
be made. This choice is available only for DVD
discs, as CD discs do not have chapter capa-
bility. The number in parenthesis under the box
shows the maximum number of chapters on the
disc. If “99” appears, it indicates that the disc
selected has not yet been played and the unit
does not yet know the type of disc and how
many titles or tracks are available. If “0”
appears, this is your indication that the disc 
is a CD.

6. Press the

¤

Navigation Buttons e

to scroll through the list of available chapters.
Press the Enter Button d or 

›

Button e to move to the next selection

first selection to be entered, press the Enter

track, title and chapter will be added to the
Play List column over a beige highlighted area.
The blue highlight will return to the disc box to
