UDP-89 User Manual Version 2.0 www.hhb.co.uk
Time & Other Displays
The UDP-89’s front panel display shows the elapsed time of the
currently-selected Title (in the form h:mm:ss). “Zero” time will
generally be the start of Chapter 1.
Pressing DISPLAY on the RC-89 Remote Control Unit while
a DVD-V is loaded generates an on-screen text banner
superimposed on the video image. A typical example is shown
below:
DVD Video 00:25:28 01:04:27
Chapter 2/6:
Bitrate 4.755Mbps
Title 1/2
Audio 1/1 Dolby D 2 Ch Eng
Subtitle Off
Angle 1/1
Along with other information, the banner confirms current unit
settings for audio track and viewing angle selection and enabling
of subtitles. These settings are described in a later section of
the manual. As they are not confirmed elsewhere, it is always
useful to use the Display function when changing them. A
second press of DISPLAY cancels the banner.
Other video disc types
DVD-R and DVD-RW
As with audio CDs recorded in a computer, the UDP-89 will play
DVD-Video material prepared on recordable and rewriteable
blank DVDs in computers using DVD-Video authoring software.
Discs recorded in consumer and professional DVD recorders
are also compatible.
There are several types of recordable/rewriteable DVD media
in common use, and not all DVD drives can record to all types.
The UDP-89 is able to accept all types of disc currently in use;
these include:
DVD-R•
DVD-RW•
DVD+R•
DVD+RW•
Both standard 4.7GB and dual-layer 8.5GB versions of the
above media types are supported.
The UDP-89 will NOT play unfinalised discs.
Note: DVD-RAM discs are NOT supported.
The front panel and on-screen displays are as for commercial
DVD-V discs.
Video CDs and SuperVCDs
Video CD (VCD) is an older digital video format using CD-ROM
discs. MPEG1 video coding with Layer 2 stereo audio coding is
employed to record up to 80 minutes of programme material on
a 700MB disc. Playback of discs recorded to the White Book
VCD2.0 standard (1995) is supported by the UDP-89.
The later Super Video CD (SVCD) format uses the higher bitrate
MPEG2 coding system on the same media type to achieve
higher resolution video and improved audio (including additional
tracks). Playback of discs recorded to the SVCD standard set by
the China National Committee of Standards is supported by the
UDP-89.
Operation of the UDP-89 with VCDs and SVCDs is broadly similar
to playing audio CDs. There is no menu or other data available
on-screen. Disc content is arranged as Tracks, and the main
transport buttons, including STOP, PLAY, PAUSE, FFWD, FREW,
NEXT and PREVIOUS, function normally.
Pressing the TOP MENU button with a VCD or SVCD loaded
activates Playback Control (PBC), which provides a system of
basic disc navigation. The front panel display will indicate
PBC On, and the disc will re-locate to a disc menu prepared at
the disc authoring stage listing the available tracks on the disc.
Track selection is made with the 0-9 numeric keys, and playback
commences from the start of the selected track.
CD-ROMs and DVD-ROMs containing
video files
The UDP-89 permits replay of certain video file types recorded
on CD-ROM or DVD-ROM discs formatted to either ISO9660 or
UDF v1.02. Compatible formats include MPEG1 and MPEG 2
video files (*.mpg files), and MPEG4 ASP coded video files (*.avi
files) with embedded MPEG, PCM or Dolby Digital audio.
CD-ROMs and DVD-ROMs containing
JPEG image files
The UDP-89 will replay JPEG picture files (*.jpg) recorded on CD-
ROM or DVD-ROM discs and can display them in high-definition
– 720p or 1080i.
After loading, the OSD displays a list of *.jpg image files available
for viewing.
