Programmed Play
Programmed play allows you to select any
track, title or chapter from any disc in the
DVD 5 for playback in a specific order. This type
of programming is particularly useful for parties
or other situations where you want continual
playback of specific selections for a long period
of time. To program the discs in the DVD 5 for
playback, follow these steps:
1. Press the Program Button u on the
remote. Note that the Program Edit Screen
(Figure 25) will appear on the video display.
Figure 25
2. Select the disc position for the first playback
selection by pressing the
Buttons e. When the desired disc number
appears in the disc's box in white over a blue
background, press the Enter Button d or
Navigation Button e to move to the next
selection.
3. The second box will now be highlighted in
blue to indicate that a selection for track or title
is to be made. As the DVD 5 already knows the
disc type for the position selected, the heading
over the box will indicate "Track" for CD discs
and "Title" for DVD Discs. The number in paren-
thesis under the box shows the maximum
number of tracks or titles on the disc. If "99"
appears, it indicates that the disc selected has
not yet been played and the unit does not yet
know the type of disc and how many titles or
tracks are available.
4. Press the

titles. Press the Enter Button d or
Navigation Button e to move to the next
selection.
Note that most DVD movie discs use "Title 1"
for movies, while "Title 2" is used for the open-
ing logos and piracy warnings. Before selecting
a DVD title number, you may wish to preview
the disc while the on-screen Menu Bar is active
to see which title numbers refer to each portion

of the disc. This is particularly important in discs
with large amounts of special feature material.
5. The third box will now be highlighted in blue
to indicate that a selection for chapter should
be made. This choice is available only for DVD
discs, as CD discs do not have chapter capa-
bility. The number in parenthesis under the box
shows the maximum number of chapters on the
disc. If "99" appears, it indicates that the disc
selected has not yet been played and the unit
does not yet know the type of disc and how
many titles or tracks are available. If "0"
appears, this is your indication that the disc
is a CD.
6. Press the
