The user shell
With just the one "point and click"
operation,
player functions
can
be
controlled so easily that the actions
become intuitive. This is because of the
player's specially designed "user shell"
program. which presents a series of
screen displays that not only allow you a
complete choice of play functions, but also
guide you in selecting them.
User shell screen
When the player is switched on, the first
"user she I I" screen invites you to load a
disc. Playing a CD-I disc is a simple matter
of loading the disc and selecting "Start"
on the "CO-I start" screen which then
automatically appears. The CD-I program
starts to run, and you select options from
the screen according to choice.
For CO-Digital Audio discs, the "user
shell" presents a play control screen. This
offers more than just the functions fitted
as standard on CD players (and also
provided on the front panel and remote
control). It offers all the features found
only on top-of-the-range players. These
include Program, Favorite Track Selection,
Title, Shuffle, Repeat, Play and Scan.
Another
"user
shell"
screen
offers
"Personal Preference" settings. These
include date and time display, Scan time.
Auto Shuffle, and Repeat. When "Personal
Preference" settings have been made, the
player automatically adopts them whe1

Further "user shell" screens provide info1

ities, a list of stored programs and other
information. and control for CD Graphics.
