The Proceed PMDT comes with a comprehensive remote control that can
handle all player and disc functions. While many of these functions will be
familiar to anyone who has used DVD players before, the remote also pro-
vides several conveniences that you have probably never seen. This section
will provide an overview of the many functions served by your PMDT remote
control.

THE DISPLAY AREA

info:

The

info

button can be used to display information about the cur-

rent status of the PMDT in two different ways.

When clicked, it displays those info items from the Info Preferences
menu that have been designated “on,” one after the other. This way, you
can choose a few things to which you would like quick access, and have
them be readily available.

When pressed and held, the

info

button will display a list of information

items (both those designated “on” and “list only” in the Info Preference
menu), giving you access to quite a bit of information all at once
(though, of course, it uses more of the screen to do so). You can scroll
through these items with the

navigation

buttons; pressing

enter

will dis-

play that item on the screen until you press

info

again.

mode:

The time section of the display can be set to display any of the

following four indications of time in minutes and seconds:

time elapsed

on title/disc

,

time remaining on title/disc

,

time elapsed on chapter/

track

,

time remaining on chapter/track

(depending on whether you

have loaded a DVD or a CD). These four options are accessed by press-
ing the

display mode

button, which cycles through the four modes of

time display, using both the on-screen display and the front panel dis-
play window to indicate which mode is chosen at any moment.

There are some discs that are authored so that the PMDT will indicate

menu

on the front panel during play. This is the disc author’s way of

telling you that you can use normal menu navigation commands such as
“Prev” and “Next” to choose different buttons or functions available on
the screen. Many of these discs are music discs and may be hybrid DVD/
DVD-A discs. By camping on (or holding the button depressed) the

mode

button at this time, the display will toggle from

menu

to the nor-

mal

Title/Chapter/Time

display. In this mode the navigation cluster now

acts as if a movie were playing rather than a menu being used. For in-
stance, pressing the

FFWD

button will no longer act to move the cursor

on the screen, but will

FFWD

the disc. You are free to choose the way

you would rather view the information presented by the

PMDT.
