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.
1 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.
