Shuffle Mode

Shuffle Mode allows the tracks on a CD or chapters on a DVD

to be played in a random order. The method of enabling Shuffle

Mode is different for the two disc types.

Shuffle Mode – DVDs

With DVDs, it is selected by pressing the RANDOM button on

the remote control unit while the disc is playing; selection is

confirmed by the SHUFFLE flag on the front panel display.

Once selected, the disc continues to play normally, except that

the chapters will be played in random order without repetition

until they have all been played. To cancel Shuffle Mode, press

RANDOM a second time.

SHUFFLE Mode - CDs

With CDs, Shuffle Mode is enabled via the on-screen browser

page. Using the cursor keys, navigate the yellow border from

the tracklist pane to the Filter pane, and select the mode field.

Repeated presses of MARK/ENTER cycles the mode parameter

through Normal, Shuffle, Music Intro and back to Normal.

Select Shuffle to enable the random play feature.

As with DVDs, Shuffle Mode is confirmed by the SHUFFLE flag

in the front panel display. To cancel Shuffle Mode, set the mode

parameter to Off.

Note: The first track to be played in Shuffle Mode will always be

track 1.

Music Intro Mode

Music Intro is a useful method of identifying tracks on a CD-A or

a disc containing audio files. When selected, only the first 10

seconds of each track or file on the disc is played.

It is enabled in the same way described above for Shuffle Mode;

a second press of MARK/ENTER with the mode field highlighted

will select Music Intro. Confirmation of the mode is also given

in the front panel display, which displays the text Intro Scan for

approximately 2 seconds.

Music Intro may be combined with Repeat Mode if wished. To

cancel Music Intro Mode, set the mode parameter to Off.

Audio configuration

Stereo and multi-channel audio

The UDP-89 is equipped with both stereo and multichannel

analogue audio outputs; additionally, S/PDIF and AES/EBU

digital outputs are provided. Not all outputs are available

simultaneously, and which outputs carry what information is

determined both by user selection and disc type.

Normal stereo audio will be available at both the main L/R

outputs and the L

front

and R

front

analogue outputs when playing

discs carrying only 2-channel audio programme material, such

as standard CDs.

When playing disc types offering a choice of audio formats

(stereo or multichannel), the choice of which to play is made

by the user. The method of selection varies with disc type, as

summarised below:

When multichannel audio programme (e.g. 5.1 ‘surround’) is

selected, full multichannel audio is available from both sets of

analogue multichannel rear connectors (

&

on the rear

panel, see page 10.) The main L & R outputs (

&

on

the rear panel, see page 10) will generally carry an internally-

generated stereo downmix of the multichannel audio, or produce

a L

t

/R

t

matrix output for suitable for decoding in a matrix

surround decoder of a type such as Dolby Pro-Logic. With some

discs, the main outputs may be muted.

The format of the multi-channel downmix carried by the main

L & R stereo outputs (which includes all digital outputs – HDMI

and S/PDIF when not set to bitstream, and AES/EBU) is

determined by the surround speaker setting in the Audio section

of the SETUP menu. With both formats, the centre channel C is

mixed equally into the main left and right channels.

If the Surround Speakers are set to Large/Small, then

the main L & R stereo outputs will be in a L

t

/R

t

matrix

format, compatible with external Dolby Pro-Logic decoding.

In this format, the rear channels (L

s

and R

s

) are mixed

together and added out-of-phase into the main left and

right channels.
