SHUFFLE INDICATOR
By pressing

shuffle

on the remote control, the PMDT will enter a random

play mode in which the order of the current disc’s playlist is scrambled,
and then played. The

shuffle LED

on the front panel will light to indicate

this

random play

mode. Moreover, placing the PMDT into

random play

mode while the

disc repeat

function is engaged will cause it to play the

various tracks on the disc randomly indefinitely (until you stop it). This is
a great way to provide background music during a dinner party, for
example.

NAVIGATION CLUSTER (UP/DOWN, LEFT/RIGHT) & IR SENSOR
This cluster of four buttons (

down

left

right

) duplicates the same set

of buttons on your remote control, allowing you to operate the PMDT
fully from the front panel whenever that is more convenient (such as
when the remote has gone astray between the cushions on the couch).
In addition, during normal play (as opposed to when you are in a
menu),

left

and

right

can be used to access

scan reverse

and

scan for-

ward

, respectively.

The space on the inside of this cluster is used for the infrared receiver.
Infrared commands transmitted from the remote control are received by
a receiver behind this section of the display. Remote control of the
PMDT may be unreliable if there is not a clear line of sight between the
remote control and the receiver (if the remote is far off-axis, or if the
PMDT is within a cabinet, for example). In such a case consider using a
third-party IR repeater to route the signal to the IR input jack on the rear
panel (see Rear Panel, PMDT, page 20).

POWER & POWER LED
Assuming that the PMDT’s power cord is connected to AC power, press-
ing this latching power button connects the PMDT to the AC mains. After
a brief self-test routine to ensure that all is well with the internal hard-
ware, the unit will enter

standby

. Pressing

standby

will “wake up” the

unit, making it operational.

Whenever AC power is being applied to the PMDT, the LED above the
latching power button is amber. Naturally, when the PMDT is discon-
nected from AC power (either at the wall, or using the latching power
switch), this LED is off.

REPEAT BUTTON AND INDICATOR
You may choose to either repeat the entire title/disc (including any pro-
grams you might have entered for that particular title/disc) or an indi-
vidual chapter/track by pressing the

repeat

button. Both the front panel

window display and on-screen messages are visible to let you know
what you have selected, for example:

Repeat Off
