PREVIOUS, NEXT, STOP, PAUSE

prev ( ):

Pressing this button momentarily will return you to the begin-

ning of the current DVD chapter (or CD track). Pressing it repeatedly will
move you backward through the available chapters/tracks, one at a time.
Note that some DVD discs may prevent you from using this button (and
others) at certain times.

next ( ):

Pressing the

button momentarily will advance the PMDT

to the beginning of the next track on a CD or the next chapter of a DVD.
Pressing it repeatedly or camping on, it will move forward through the
available tracks/chapters, one at a time. Note that some DVD discs may
prevent you from using this button (and others) at certain times.

stop:

Unfortunately, DVD players and CD players often treat the

stop

but-

ton differently. This can be confusing. We allow you to make the PMDT
work the way you think it should (see the section on Disc behavior, on
page 38). However, by default,

•

Pressing

stop

once with a CD will actually stop the disc from

spinning (introducing a slight delay upon pressing

play

, as

the disc spins up).

•

Pressing

stop

once with a DVD will actually pause the disc

with a blank screen, allowing you to resume where you left
off in a movie quickly and easily by pressing

play

pause:

Pressing this button during play will

pause

the PMDT at that

point within the track; the time display will blink slowly as a reminder
that you are in the

pause

mode.

NAVIGATION CLUSTER
This centrally located cluster of four buttons (

up, down, left, right

) dupli-

cates the same set of buttons on the PMDT’s front panel, allowing you to
operate the PMDT fully from the remote control.

down

left/right:

Use the

down

left

and

right

buttons to navigate

menus (both the PMDT’s own menus and those of the DVD discs you
play). 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.

return:

Use the

return

button while playing either a DVD or CD to return

you to where you were on the disc after a

stop

command. (It is possible

that the authoring of a DVD will explicitly prohibit doing so, in which
case nothing will happen.) The

return

button may also be used by a

DVD disc author as part of the on-screen menu system navigation.

menu:

In the DVD standard, there are provisions for both disc menus

and player menus, which can get confusing. When you first press the

button, you will be presented with a choice on the on-screen

display:
