SRCH (search)
It is possible to access any point on the disc directly
using the ‘Search’ menu.
Press SRCH to access the ‘Search’ menu (see page 13).
RTN (return)
Press RTN to move back through the DVD
‘Disc’ and ‘Title’ menus. Note that this feature is
only of use with discs using multi-level menus.
MENU
Press MENU to access the DVD ‘Disc’ menu.
This navigation menu is specific to a disc and
varies for each title, but typically offers facilities
to select chapters, languages, and view extra
material such as trailers or documentaries.
Once the menu has been accessed, use the
cursor pad to move around the menu and press
OK to activate a menu ‘button’.
STATUS
Press STATUS once to show the elapsed and
remaining time of the disc. Press STATUS a second
time to give information about the current disc.
Press STATUS a third time to close the status
display.
The status information displayed varies depending
on the type of disc – DVD, CD or VCD.
MEM (memorise)
It is possible to ‘bookmark’ up to three points on a
DVD title, so you can jump quickly to those parts
of the title in the future. Press MEM to access the
‘Bookmark’ menu (see page 14).
TITLE
Press TITLE to access the DVD’s ‘Title’
menu. Note that this feature only applies
to multi-title discs.
SETUP
‘Setup’ allows you to configure the DV27A for use in
your system. Ensure that no disc is playing and press
SETUP to access the ‘Setup’ menu (see page 7).
AUDIO
Some DVDs offer the facility to select different
audio tracks. Press AUDIO to cycle through
those available.
The TV displays the number, language and type of
audio track, e.g. ‘1 Eng DD 6CH’.
SUBT (subtitle)
Press SUBT on the remote control to cycle through
the available subtitle languages, including ‘OFF’. Some
discs force subtitles on, over-riding player set up.
ANGLE
Some DVDs offer the facility to select different
camera angles. If this feature is available the ‘camera’
symbol lights in the display.
Press ANGLE to cycle through the available angles.
ZOOM
Press ZOOM to enlarge a particular area of
the picture. Each press of the ZOOM button
increases the zoom, normally until a maximum
of 4x enlargement is reached (although the
amount of zoom possible varies depending on
the type of disc: in some cases no zooming is
possible). Pressing ZOOM when the maximum
enlargement has been reached returns the
image to normal size.
While using the zoom function, the cursor pad
can be used to move around within the image.
The zoom function can also be used when
playback is paused.
Note that a zoom level of x1.25 is particularly
useful if the output from the DVD player is in
a screen format different from that of your TV.
A zoom of x1.25 when a ‘widescreeen’ image
is displayed on a 4:3 TV causes the bars at the
top and bottom of the screen to disappear
(although the sides of the image are lost); a
zoom of x1.25 when a 4:3 image is displayed on
a widescreen TV causes the bars at the side of
the image to disappear (although the top and
bottom of the image are lost).
