Changing the Camera Angle
A special feature of the DVD format is its capa-
bility of showing more than one view, or camera
angle, of the same scene. This feature enables
you to become the director, selecting the view of
a scene that you wish. Note, however, that this
feature does not appear on many discs and,
when it does appear, it will typically be for only
certain scenes and not for the entire disc’s pro-
gram.
To see if a disc contains multiple angles, check
the disc’s cover or jacket. When a disc does con-
tain scenes with multiple angles, the producers
will usually include some sort of special on-
screen icon to alert you to the availability of dif-
ferent angles of view. When you see such an
icon, the angle may be changed by the following
steps:
1. While a disc is playing, press STATUS on the
remote, the Banner Display appears.
2. Press the ARROW (LEFT OR RIGHT) until the
Camera icon is highlighted, and press ENTER,
the Angle menu appears.
3. Press ENTER or ANGLE on the remote to
change angle.
4. To make the Banner Display disappear from
the screen, press CLEAR or STATUS on the
remote.
■
Shortcut: The Angle menu can be called any-
time, regardless of whether Banner Display is
on or not, by pressing the ANGLE button on
the remote, pressing repeatedly will change
the angle (if disc was created with multiple
angles).
