Playing DVD Video discs
Note: The following instructions refer to the front panel controls
only; unless otherwise stated, the corresponding buttons on the
RC-89 Remote Control Unit may be used if preferred.
With the UDP-89 suitably connected for video and audio •
as above, switch the unit on with the power button
.
If it is already in Standby Mode (with the power button
illuminated), the STANDBY/ON button on the Remote
Control Unit may be used to turn the unit on.
Open the disc tray with the EJECT button •
; insert the
DVD-V disc; the tray will close with a light push on the tray
front or a second press of EJECT.
The disc will start playing automatically and the •
programme will proceed to the disc’s main Title Menu,
where it will pause. (Note: This is not the same state as
Pause Mode)
Play Mode can now be entered by pressing PLAY on the •
remote control, or navigating the highlighted selection
in the Title Menu to the “Play Film” option (or equivalent
- wording is likely to vary) with the cursor buttons [
or remote control], then confirming the selection with
MARK/ENTER [
or remote control]. Note that the front
panel PLAY/PAUSE button does not initiate playback
from the Title Menu.
Note that with commercially produced DVD-V discs, the •
transport controls will generally not be functional until the
Title Menu is displayed. This is due to copyright issues.
Most DVD-Vs are subdivided into Chapters, and the •
Title Menu will normally include an option to commence
playback at the start of an individual Chapter. The cursor
keys and MARK/ENTER may be used to select an
alternative play location to Chapter 1. Pressing MENU
at any time will return to the Title Menu.
The disc may be paused during playback at any time by •
pressing PLAY/PAUSE; a further press resumes playback.
The remote control has separate PLAY and PAUSE
buttons.
The programme may be scanned (searched) at high speed •
with the FWD
and FREW buttons; the search speed
increases with additional presses. Audio is muted when
scanning a DVD-V disc at high speed.
It is possible to “jump” the play location to the start of the •
next Chapter at any time with the NEXT button
.
Pressing the PREVIOUS button will jump back to the
start of the current Chapter; a second press then jumps
to the start of the previous Chapter.
Pressing STOP [•
or remote control] once will cancel
Play Mode and output a blank screen. Pressing PLAY on
the remote control from this state will resume playback
from the point at which it was stopped. However, a
second press of STOP will delete this point “memory”,
so that the next time PLAY/PAUSE is pressed, playback
recommences from the beginning of the disc.
The disc may be removed at any time by pressing EJECT. •
(Note: It is possible to “lock” the EJECT mechanism so that
a disc cannot be inadvertently removed – see page 37.)
