UDP-89 User Manual Version 2.0www.hhb.co.uk
Audio Level
With all types of discs, the volume of the audio can be adjusted
from the UDP-89 itself, using the VOLUME up-and-down buttons
on the RC-89 remote control unit. Note that this adjustment
applies to all analogue audio outputs in use, both stereo and
multichannel.
The UDP-89 also permits level adjustment of the individual audio
channels of the analogue multitrack output, via the CH SELECT
and CH LEVEL up-and-down buttons on the RC-89. See “Audio
level and delay adjustment” on page 34 for full details.
Playing Audio Discs
The UDP-89 plays audio-only discs of most types, including
standard commercial Red Book audio CDs, audio CD-Rs and
audio CD-RWs, SACDs (Super Audio Compact Discs), DVD-A
discs (DVD-Audio) and data discs – either CD-R/RW or
DVD-R/RW–containingaudiofilesofvarioustypes.Thissection
initially describes the UDP-89’s operation with a standard audio
CD (CD-DA), with any differences being summarised separately.
Discs containing video programme material (including CD-Rs with
.avi or JPEG files) are covered in the next section, “Playing Video
Discs”.
Transport Controls
On loading a standard CD, a display similar to that below can be
seen after the disc has been loaded and read:
T15 1:18:46
Stop
CD
The front panel display indicates the number of tracks on the
CD (Tnn) and the total disc playing time (in the form h:mm:ss).
If a video monitor is connected, the CD tracklist screen is also
available as an OSD (On-Screen Display):
1/8 / Track01.CDA

JPEG Preview
The next track to be played (1 in the case of a newly-inserted
disc) and the total number of tracks is confirmed, e.g.: 1/6.
The Disc Title will be shown as CDA (Compact Disc Audio) and
the tracks will be listed as Tracknn.
Pressing PLAY/PAUSE
from Stop Mode will always start disc
playback from Track 1. Playback may be paused and re-started
at any time by further presses of PLAY/PAUSE. Pressing STOP
once cancels playback and the unit enters Resume Mode;
playback will continue from the last location when playback is
restarted. A second press of STOP (i.e., from Resume Mode)
puts the unit in Stop Mode; playback then restarts from
Track 1 when PLAY/PAUSE is next pressed. For CDs and other
audio discs, Resume and Pause Modes are effectively the same.
Play and Pause Modes are confirmed in the front panel display.
From Play Mode, the NEXT
and PREVIOUS buttons will
move the play location to the start of the next or previous track
respectively, the exception being that if PREVIOUS is pressed
when the track time of the track currently playing exceeds 5
seconds, the play location returns to the start of the current
track. A single press of the FFWD and FREW buttons
searches the disc – forwards or backwards respectively - at
twice the normal speed, with audio output muted. Further
presses redouble the search speed to a maximum of 16x
normal speed; a further press then reverts to normal play
speed.
Track Selection
In addition to the use of the NEXT and PREVIOUS buttons
described above, playback from the start of a specific track may
also be selected with the cursor keys and/or the direct access
keys on the remote control, or the front panel cursor keys, in
conjunction with the on-screen display.
Using the front panel buttons:
The UP/DOWN cursor keys may be used to select the track
to be played. The “selected” track is indicated in the OSD track
list by a yellow border*, and it will start playing the selected
track from Stop or Play Modes when MARK/ENTER is
pressed.
Using the remote control:
The UP, DOWN and MARK/ENTER buttons on the remote
control may be used in the manner described above, with the
difference that the PLAY button can be used to initiate playback
of the selected track from Play Mode.
The remote control’s Direct Access Keys will also select a
track by number, and can be used from Play, Resume and
Stop Modes. Tracks 1 to 9 can be selected by a single button
press, followed by MARK/ENTER. Tracks 10 and above can be
selected by pressing the two digits of the track number, i.e. to
select Track 15, press ‘1’ followed by ‘5’. Confirmation of track
selection is confirmed by the on-screen display first by showing
the “current track” field at the top of the display*, then after a
few seconds by the yellow border moving to the chosen track.
An incorrect button press may be corrected with the CLR button
while the track selection is displayed only on the current track
field.
*Note that the front panel display does not alter when the UP/DOWN cursor keys
are used.
