Pressing STOP from Play Mode puts the transport into
Resume Mode; video and audio stop and a blank screen will be
displayed:
Resume
DVD- V
Pressing PLAY/PAUSE from this state resumes playback of
the disc from the point at which it was stopped. Pressing STOP
a second time puts the player into Stop Mode.
From Stop Mode, playback will re-commence at a point
determined at the disc authoring stage; this may be the start
of Chapter 1, the Title Menu, or main Disc Menu in the case of
multi-Title discs, or the start of the disc itself.
The programme may be scanned (searched) at high speed
by pressing the FFWD
(Forward) or FREW (Reverse)
buttons. A single press initiates scanning at 2x normal play
speed; subsequent presses double the speed to a maximum of
16x normal, when one more press returns to 2x. PLAY/PAUSE
may be pressed at any time to resume normal playback.
Audio is muted during search.

From PLAY mode, the NEXT and PREVIOUS buttons
will move the play location to the start of the next or previous
chapter respectively.
Accessing the Disc Menus
The Titles on a DVD-V will generally consist of several Chapters.
Although some commercial DVD-V discs consist of a single Title,
it is possible for a disc to contain more than one, each Title
being further subdivided into Chapters. Further, copyright and
other information may be recorded as one or more separate
Titles, but access to them is restricted, and thus the disc only
has a single Title from the user’s point of view. These matters
are determined at the disc authoring stage.
Pressing MENU
(or its remote control equivalent) will locate
the disc to the Root Menu for the currently-selected Title,
allowing selection of its Chapters. A multi-Title disc will possess
a further menu, allowing individual Titles on the disc to be
selected. This menu is accessed with the TOP MENU button
(or its remote control equivalent).
Note that on discs containing a single Title, MENU and TOP
MENU will generally both access the Root Menu for the single
Title.
Chapter Selection
In addition to the use of the NEXT and PREVIOUS buttons
described above, playback from the start of a specific chapter
can also be selected by using the remote control unit’s Direct
Access Keys. It will normally (though dependent on how the disc
is authored) be possible to jump to a specific chapter from the
Title Menu.
Using the Direct Access Keys
The remote control’s Direct Access Keys will select a chapter
by number, and can be used from Play, Resume and Stop
Modes. Chapters 1 to 9 can be selected by a single button
press, Chapters 10 and above can be selected by pressing
the ‘+10’ button first, once for 10-19, twice for 20-29, etc ,
e.g., to select Chapter 15, press ‘+10’ followed by ‘5’. It is not
necessary to press MARK/ENTER.
Using the Title Menu
Most DVDs’ Title Menus will include an option to select an
individual chapter for playback. The wording and style used is
under the control of the disc author and thus varies widely, but
the word ‘scene’ is normally used instead of ‘chapter’ in long-
format programme such as feature films. (The list of available
scenes is often illustrated with the first frame of the chapter.)
The cursor keys are used to select the chapter to be played.
The “selected” track will be indicated in the chapter list by some
form of “highlighting”, and it will start playing when either PLAY/
PAUSE or MARK/ENTER is pressed.
