CD Playback
Many functions of the DVD 27 operate the same
way for CD playback as for DVD play; however,
there are some important differences. When a CD
is loaded, the DVD 27 will automatically display
the Player Information menu. Status banners are
not available during CD play. A greater variety of
playback options are available during CD play,
including Random play and programmed
playlists. These and other features unique to CD
play are described in this section.
Using the Player Information Menu
The DVD 27’s Player Information menu displays
disc information and enables you to program
playback modes. Press the Info Button
A to
display the Player Information menu.
The Player Information Menu has two submenus
which may be accessed by using the
KL
Navigation Buttons 9 to highlight the sub-
menu’s icon, and pressing the Enter Button
6 to select it. These submenus are different
from the Setup menus in that many items are for
display only and cannot be changed using the
menu system.
PLAYBACK INFO Submenu: This submenu
displays basic disc and playback mode informa-
tion.
■ Disc: This line displays the disc type, such as
CDDA (Compact Disc Digital Audio).
■ Audio: This line displays the type of audio
recorded on the disc, usually Stereo.
■ Playlist: For CDs only, you may choose to
play the tracks in order as they appear on the
disc, or you may program a playlist containing
some or all of the tracks in the order in which
you wish to hear them. This line indicates
which of these two modes has been selected.
In order to change this setting, you will need
to access the
PROGRAM submenu as
described below.
■ Repeat: With this line highlighted, press the
Enter Button 6 to activate Repeat mode.
Each press will change the repeat mode from
Repeat 1 (to repeat one track) to Repeat All
(to repeat all tracks on the disc) to Repeat Off.
■ Random: With this line highlighted, press the
Enter Button 6 to activate Random mode.
Each press will toggle between turning the
Random play on or off.
■ Track: This line displays the current track on
the left, and the total number of tracks on the
disc to the right.
■ Play Mode Icon: This icon will appear to the
right of the Track display and will indicate the
current playback mode.
■ Time: This section consists of three lines:
• Track Elapsed: Displays the elapsed or
remaining time of the current track.
• Disc Elapsed: Displays the elapsed or
remaining time of the disc.
• Elapsed Time Bar: Displays in graphical
form a temperature bar reflecting the per-
centage of the disc that has been played.
Use the KL Navigation Buttons 9 to
highlight either Track Elapsed or Disc Elapsed,
and each press of the Enter Button
6 will
toggle between the elapsed and remaining set-
tings. The time displayed to the right and in the
front-panel Information Display
0 will
change accordingly.
The Time Search function enables you to start
playback at any point in the program. Use the
KL Navigation Buttons 9 to highlight
the time display. Press the Numeric Keys S
followed by the Enter Button 6 to select a
new point in the track from which to commence
play.
PROGRAM Submenu: This submenu lets you
program a playlist. The PROGRAM submenu is
only accessible for CDs.
■ Disc: This line displays the disc type.
■ Audio: This line displays the type of audio
recorded on the disc, usually Stereo.
■ Playlist: With this line highlighted, press the
Enter Button 6 to change the order in
which the tracks are played from the order in
which they appear on the disc (
Disc’s
order ) to a playlist order which you may
program ( Programmed order ). A list
of program steps and the track programmed
for each step will appear at the bottom of the
screen. You may enter a track number using
the Numeric Keys
S and then press the
L Navigation Button 9 to program
another track. Use the KLM N
Navigation Button 9 to select the
desired program steps. Note that you may not
enter a track more than once in the playlist, if
it appears in an earlier step. However, you may
use the Repeat function while the playlist is
playing. After you have finished programming
the playlist, press the Play Button 3G to
begin play.
When you have finished viewing the Player
menus, press the Info Button
A to remove
the displays from the screen and return to normal
play.
Selecting a Track
To select a track, make sure the Player
Information menu is on screen. Press the Info
Button
A to activate it if necessary. Next,
press the KLM N Navigation Button 9
so that the Track Number is highlighted. Use the
Numeric Keys
S to enter the desired track,
and press the Enter Button 6 to begin
playing the new track.
To select a specific track on a CD at any time
during playback, simply press the number corre-
sponding to the track you wish to listen to using
the Numeric Keys
S. You may also move one
by one through the chapters at any time by
pressing the Skip Reverse (Previous)/Skip
Forward (Next) Buttons
67EF. When
you press the Previous E or Skip Reverse
6 button once, the player will return to the start
of the current track. Additional presses of either
button will step back through the available
tracks, one at a time.
Note: When a JPEG, MP3 or Windows Media
disc is playing, a special screen will appear.
Repeat Play
The DVD 27 offers several repeat functions for
CDs that allow you to take advantage of the
capacity of the unit for unattended playback:
• Repeat Program: Repeats the current playlist
if Programmed Order has been selected at the
Playlist setting.
• Repeat 1 Track: For CDs, VCDs, MP3s and
WMAs, repeats the track or file currently being
played until the disc is manually stopped. The
Repeat and 1 indicators will light in the front-
panel display, and the
REPEAT 1 icon will
appear on screen.
