CD Playback
Many functions of the DVD 38 operate the same way for CD playback
as for DVD play; however, there are some important differences. When
a CD is loaded, the DVD 38 will automatically display the Player
Information menu. See Figure 46. Status banners are not available dur-
ing CD play. Features unique to CD play are described in this section.
Player Information Menu
The DVD 38’s Player Information menu displays disc information and
enables you to program playback modes. If it is not already on screen,
press the Info Button to display the Player Information menu. See
Figure 46.
Figure 46 – CD Player Information Screen
The Player Information menu has three submenus, PLAYBACK INFO,
PROGRAM and DISC INFORMATION, which may be accessed by using
the Navigation Buttons to highlight the submenu’s icon, and pressing the
Enter Button to select.
PLAYBACK INFO Submenu: This submenu displays basic disc and
playback mode information. See Figure 46.
• Disc: This line displays the disc type, such as CD-DA (Compact Disc
Digital Audio).
• Playlist: 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. To change
this setting, use the PROGRAM submenu, as explained in the
Programming Playlists section.
• Repeat: With this line highlighted, press the Enter Button or the
Repeat Button to activate Repeat mode. Each press will change the
repeat mode from Repeat 1 (repeat one track) to Repeat All (repeat
all tracks on the disc) to Repeat Off. Repeat A-B is not selected using
this setting.
• Random: With this line highlighted, press the Enter Button or the
Random Button to activate Random play mode, in which the tracks on
the disc are played in random order. Each press will toggle between
turning Random play on or off.
• Track List: A list of tracks on the disc will appear. Use the Navigation
Buttons to scroll through the list. Press the Enter Button or the Play
Button while a track is highlighted to begin play.
Figure 47 – Program Submenu
PROGRAM Submenu: This submenu lets you program a playlist.
The PROGRAM submenu is only accessible for CD’s (see Figure 47).
• Disc: This line displays the disc type.
• Audio: This line displays the type of audio that was recorded on
the disc, usually Stereo.
• Playlist: With this line highlighted, press the Enter Button 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). If you select Programmed order, a list
of program steps and the track programmed for each step will appear
at the bottom of the screen (see Figure 54). You may enter a track
number using the Numeric Keys and then use the Navigation Buttons
to program another track. To remove a track from the playlist, press
the Clear Button. 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 to begin play. See
the Programming a Playlist section for more information.
DISC INFORMATION Submenu: This screen displays abbreviated track
and playback information, and allows you to change the time display
setting.
Figure 48 – Disc Information Submenu
The information at the top of the screen provides the same information
on the disc type, audio format, playlist setting, Repeat play setting and
Random play setting as on the other submenus. The following additional
information appears next:
• Track: This line displays the current track on the left, and the total
number of tracks on the disc to the right. When the current track
number is highlighted, you may use the Numeric Keys to skip to a
new track. The new track will begin playing immediately.
• Play Mode Icon: This icon appears to the right of the Track display
and indicates the current playback mode.
