PAUSE BUTTON
Pressing this button during play will pause the PMDT at that point within
the track; the time display will show a “double quotation mark” (

) as a

reminder that you are in the

pause

mode.

DRAWER BUTTON
The PMDT employs an elegant, slim drawer that is machined from a
solid piece of aluminum. It is normally opened and closed by pressing
the

drawer

button located to its right. If opened, it may also be closed

simply by gently pushing the front edge inward (as though you were go-
ing to close it manually). The PMDT will interpret this as a request to
close the drawer and take over for you, smoothly closing the drawer.

If the PMDT senses an obstruction during opening of the drawer mecha-
nism, it will stop where it is and wait for your intervention. After remov-
ing the obstruction, press either the

play

or the

drawer

button again to

close the drawer normally.

Similarly, if the PMDT senses an obstruction during the closing of its
drawer (as might be caused by an inquisitive child’s finger), it will stop
immediately and attempt to reopen. If the obstruction prevents this also,
it will stop where it is and wait for your intervention. After removing the
obstruction, press the

drawer

button again to close the drawer.

DISPLAY INTENSITY BUTTON
Pressing the

display intensity

button will cycle the PMDT’s display

through the four available levels of brightness: high, medium, low and
off. For example, during bright daytime hours you may wish to use high;
in the evening, in a dimly lit room, a low setting is probably easier on
the eyes.

DISPLAY WINDOW
This window contains eight large and eight smaller alphanumeric charac-
ters that provide information on the current status of the PMDT. The in-
formation it displays depends on the type of disc being played:

•

with DVDs, it provides the title, chapter and time information
for the disc being played;

•

with CDs, it provides track, index and time information.

There is a legend above the display window that describes the informa-
tion normally displayed.

In addition, this window displays a number of messages designed to
keep you informed as to the status of the PMDT, including

SELF-TEST

(during initial connection to the AC mains),

(with a spinning

slash, during disc spinup), and other cues to help you get along with the
on-screen display should you be playing a CD without the television on.
