Using the Player Menu

The DVD 31’s innovative graphical interface uses a
unique menu screen to control and program many
normal playback functions once the initial configuration
settings have been made. Depending on the type of
disc being played, the Player menu contains a number
of submenus that allow you to view information about
the disc and to program tracks for playback.

and the way in which you navigate through it is identi-

Programmed Playback

The

order in which titles, chapters, tracks or files will play.
This innovative feature permits you to create your own
playlist for optimal enjoyment of the contents of any
disc the DVD 31 is capable of playing.

To program a disc’s playback, first load it into the
DVD 31, but do not start playback. If the disc begins

playback. Next, press the

the highlight over to the main portion of the menu
for programming.

When the

Program

Submenu first appears, the list of

titles, tracks and/or file or folder names will be shown
in the actual order in which they appear on a disc.
On discs with multiple titles or folders, an icon with an
open file folder will appear to the left of the title or
folder to indicate that there are additional chapters or
files within the title or folder. In that case, press that

‹

Navigation Buttons

until the Title or

Folder that contains the chapters, tracks or files you
wish to play is highlighted and press the

Enter Button

once they are opened, press the

Buttons

to highlight the Title or File with a left

pointing “return” arrow and press the

Enter Button

to move up one level in the disc’s hierarchy.

With the list of titles, chapters, tracks or files open to
the desired place, programming is done by following
these simple steps:

1. Make certain that there are two columns of infor-

mation in the main portion of the screen, a list of
titles, chapters, tracks or file names with their asso-
ciated icons on the left side, and a column named
