CD PLAYBACK

Many functions of the DVD 27 operate the same way
for CD playback as for DVD play; however, there are
some important differences. When a CD is loaded, the
DVD 27 will automatically display the Player
Information menu. Status banners are not available
during CD play. A greater variety of playback options
are available during CD play, including Random play
and programmed playlists. These and other features
unique to CD play are described in this section.

The DVD 27's Player Information menu displays disc
information and enables you to program playback
modes. Press the Info Button i to display the
Player Information menu (Figure 14).
