Connecting for audio

Stereo and multichannel audio outputs are available at the rear

of the UDP-89 in a variety of analogue and digital formats, for

connection to audio amplifiers, powered loudspeakers, D-A

monitors, TVs or projectors. Any or all of the outputs may be

used simultaneously, if required.

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.)
