Switching Between SpeedRead and Silent
Operation
When you are playing a DVD-Video disc that has CSS (copy protection
via the Content Scrambling System), the PX-708UF normally plays at a
slow speed (silent operation) to reduce drive noise. You can speed up
DVD playback by using the eject button to enable SpeedRead.
To manually enable SpeedRead and speed up DVD playback:
1. Ensure the PX-708UF disc tray is closed and empty.
2. Press and hold the PX-708UF's eject button for at least 3 seconds.
The disc/busy indicator blinks green three times to indicate
SpeedRead will be active for DVD-Video discs with CSS copy
protection.
