Selecting the Audio Track

Many DVDs contain more than one audio track. On
many discs, you will find multiple languages, while
others will offer a choice of different audio formats
or mixes (e.g., Dolby Digital or DTS), while some will
also contain commentary from the director or stars or
Descriptive Video Service content. The default audio
language is set in the AUDIO SETUP menu
as shown on page 19.
To change the audio track, press the Audio Select
Button 2 to display the Audio banner and show the
current audio track configuration. Each press of either
the Audio Select Button 2 or the Enter Button
s will change the current audio track. When your
desired selection appears, press the ‹ › Navigation
Buttons D so that DONE is highlighted, and then
press the Enter Button I to remove the banner
display and return to normal playback.
NOTES ON AUDIO TRACKS:
• Not all discs contain multiple audio track choices.
Check the information on back of the disc jacket to
see what audio languages or format options are
available.
• Some DVDs do not allow direct selection of the
audio track during playback. For these discs, you
must change the audio track using the disc's menu
system. Press the Disc Menu Button P to
display the disc's menu and then use the
‹ › Navigation Buttons D to make your
selection following the navigation scheme of the
individual disc.
• When you change the audio track or language with
the Audio Select Button 2 on the remote con-
trol as shown above, you only override the audio
language setting established in the Audio Setup
menu for the disc currently being played. The unit
will revert to its default setting with the next disc.

Selecting or Changing the Subtitle

Many DVDs contain one or more subtitle languages.
The default subtitle language is set in the System
Setup menu, as described on page 18, but you
may also turn the subtitles on or off, or change the
language at any time during a disc's playback.
To change the subtitle language or turn the subtitles
on or off, press the Subtitle Button T to display
the Subtitle banner and show the current configuration.
Each press of either the Subtitle Button T or the
Enter Button I will change the current subtitle lan-
guage, or turn subtitling off. When your desired selec-
tion appears, press the ‹ › Navigation Buttons
D until DONE is highlighted and then press the
Enter Button I to remove the banner display and
return to normal playback.
NOTE: Due to the variations in how DVD discs are
authored, subtitle languages displayed by the DVD 27
may not accurately reflect the actual languages avail-
able on the disc. It is recommended that subtitles be
selected using the disc's menu.

Selecting an Angle

An increasing number of DVDs contain multiple-angle
views, which allow the disc's creators to provide differ-
ent views of the same scene, or to present additional
on-screen or interactive information. In many cases the
disc will alert you to the presence of multiple angles by
showing a camera icon or other indication, but in any
case where multiple-angle material is available, the
Angle Indicator I will light in the front-panel
Information Display @ and the Multiple Angle Icon
will appear on-screen if it has been turned on in the
System Settings menu.
When multiple angle views are available as shown by
any of the available icons or indications, press the
Angle Button C to change the view. An information
box will appear on your video screen to show you
which angle view is playing and how many are avail-
able. Each press of either the Angle Button C or
the Enter Button I will change the current camera
angle. When your desired selection appears, press the
‹ › Navigation Buttons D so that DONE is
highlighted; then press the Enter Button I to remove
⁄¤
the on-screen display and return to normal playback.
If you press the Angle Button C during a section
where multiple view are not available, the Angle banner
will simply indicate that view 1 of 1 is being displayed.

Repeat Play

The DVD 27 offers several repeat functions that allow
you to take advantage of the capacity of the unit for
unattended playback:
• Repeat 1 Chapter: Repeats the DVD chapter
currently being played until the disc is manually
stopped; in the front-panel display, Repeat E will
light and Chapter N will flash and the
REPEAT C icon will appear on screen.
DVD PLAYBACK
• Repeat Title: For DVD discs only, this mode repeats
the title currently being played until the disc is man-
ually stopped; in the front-panel display, Repeat E
will light and Title M will flash, and the
REPEAT T icon will appear on screen.
• Repeat A-B: Repeats any selected portion of the
disc until the disc is manually stopped (see below
for more information).
To select any Repeat mode (other than Repeat A-B):
While a disc is playing, press the Repeat Button 5
on the remote. The Repeat icon will appear on screen,
indicating the new repeat mode. Each press of the
Repeat Button 5 will cycle through the available
repeat modes. To end Repeat play, continue pressing
the Repeat Button 5 until the Off mode is selected.
A-B Repeat Play
The Repeat A-B function allows you to select any por-
tion of a CD and have it repeat continually until the unit
is manually stopped.
To initiate a Repeat A-B playback sequence, follow
these steps while a disc is playing:
1. Press the A-B Repeat Button 6 on the remote

Repeat icon appears in the upper right corner of the
screen, followed by A- to indicate the beginning
of the passage to be repeated.
2. Press the A-B Repeat Button 6 again to
choose the end point. Repeat A-B has been set,
and the A-B section will be played continuously.
3. Press the A-B Repeat Button 6 on the remote
again to cancel Repeat A-B mode.

Video Off Feature

During audio-only playback, some listeners may prefer
to turn off the DVD 27's video circuitry. Although the
video section is electrically isolated from the audio
section, some users may prefer to turn the video dis-
plays off during audio playback to prevent any possibil-
ity of interference between audio and video. You may
also wish to turn the video display off if you find the
menu system distracting or unnecessary during audio
playback.
IMPORTANT NOTE: It is strongly recommended that
plasma video display owners use the Video Off feature
to avoid burn-in.
To turn the video displays off while a CD is playing,
simply press the Video Off Button F. Press the
button again to restore the video output. The V-Off
Indicator H will light in red to remind you that the
video displays have been turned off. Note that the
video output will automatically be restored each time
the DVD 27 is turned on.
