Basic playback with the DVD280
involves functions similar to those
you may be familiar with for conven-
tional CD players or changers:

• Turn the DVD280 on by first pressing

in the Main Power On/Off Switch
0 and then pressing the Power On
Button

• If a disc is already in the drawer

when the unit is turned on, it will
begin playing. If the disc was
stopped using the Resume function,
you will be prompted to select
whether to resume playback from
the point at which it was stopped, or
to play the disc from the beginning.
If the disc was stopped by pressing
the Stop Button

7D twice, the

disc will play from its beginning.

• After loading a disc, press the Eject

Button

44 to close the drawer

and begin play.

Playback Features for DVD and
CD Discs:

• To momentarily pause playback and

freeze the current picture frame on
a DVD, press the Pause Button
69. To resume playback after
pressing the Pause button, press
the Play Button

5B.

• To move forward or backward

through the tracks on a CD or the
chapters on a DVD, press the
Skip Previous/Next Buttons
89AQ.

• To move forward or backward

through the DVD or CD disc being
played at fast speed, press the
Search/Slow Forward/Reverse

fast-play speeds are different for
CD discs and DVDs.

For DVD playback, there are four
fast-play speeds. Each press of the

next speed in the following order:
2x, 16x, 64x, 200x.

•

Note that there will be no audio
playback during fast-forward or
reverse-play of DVD discs. This is
normal for DVD, as A/V receivers
and surround processors cannot
process the digital audio streams
during fast-play modes; audio will

be heard during fast-play of conven-
tional CDs.

•

For CD, VCD and SVCD playback,
there are two fast-play speeds.
Each press of the Search/Slow
Forward/Reverse Buttons

will cycle to the next speed in the
following order: 4x, 32x.

NOTE: Fast-Search is not available
when MP3 or WMA discs are
playing.

move forward or backward through
the program being played in one of
four slow-motion speeds by first
pressing the Pause Button

then pressing the Search/Slow

on the remote. Each press of the

in the following order: 1/2x, 1/4x,
1/8x, 1/16x.

•

Note that there is no audio playback
during slow-forward or -reverse
play of DVD discs. This is normal for
DVD, as A/V receivers and surround
processors cannot process the
digital audio streams during slow
modes. Slow-play is not available
for CD, MP3 or WMA discs. For

forward slow-play speeds: 1/2x
and 1/4x.

8A or Skip/Step (Next) 9Q
buttons repeatedly. Press the Pause
Button

69 again to resume nor-

mal play.

• When a camera icon appears on the

screen, and the Angle Indicator

flashes, this is your indication that
there is multiple-angle information
on the disc being played. To change
the angle, press the Angle Button
M repeatedly until the desired
angle view appears. An on-screen
banner message will appear to indi-
cate the angle view in use.

To illuminate the buttons on the

Using a DVD’s Menu

One of the unique features of the DVD
system is that it offers a producer the
opportunity to include a wide range
of features on a disc, including multi-
ple-language tracks; subtitles in a
variety of languages; special informa-
tion such as movie trailers and cast
information; as well as other cus-
tomized information. In addition, pro-
ducers may divide a movie or pro-
gram into chapters that allow for
quick access to specific parts of the
program. These chapters may be
accompanied by thumbnail pictures
of a scene from the specific chapter
to help you select the desired spot on
the disc.

When a disc is playing, press the
Disc Menu Button

S to pause the

playback and display the disc’s menu.
As there are no hard rules about style
and content for DVD menus, the way
they appear on the screen and the
information they contain will vary
from one disc to another. However,
the following general rules apply to
most menus:

• The first menu that appears is the

Main Menu, and you may move
through the options with the
Navigation

⁄

‹

›

Buttons

fh, as the disc’s programming
allows. The option selected will typi-
cally be highlighted in a certain
color or inside an outline box.

• To select a highlighted option, which

may either play a portion of the disc
or move to a submenu, press the
Enter Button

i or Play Button

5B.

• On some discs, when you select

the DVD menu during the playback
of a movie, the disc will return to
the point in the program at which
the menu was selected by offering
a “Play Movie” option. Press the
Enter Button

i or Play Button

5B to resume play. However,
not all discs offer this feature, and
selecting the menu while playing a
movie may mean that you will have
to go back either to the beginning
of the program or to the start of a
chapter. This feature is out of the
control of the DVD280, as it is set by
the disc’s internal programming.
