For ARCAM remote controls, the remote type is always written on the front of the remote control, normally at the bottom of the unit. This is set at the factory to be appropriate for the type of TV used in your country. Should you need to change this setting, the options are explained below.

Advanced DVD and VCD features This section explains the more sophisticated DVD and VCD features, such as special playback modes. The operations described here are not exactly the same for DVDs and VCDs, but are similar enough to make it appropriate to group them together. SPECIAL PLAYBACK MODES Playback modes are available that allow repeat, shuffle and programmed playback. Note that many VCDs have a single track, so some operations involving tracks will not be relevant.
VCD TO PROGRAM A SPECIAL SEQUENCE Press PROG on the remote control to open the ‘Programme’ menu. Note that playback must be stopped first. You can enter a sequence of up to 20 tracks for programmed playback. If you enter data that is invalid for the current disc, the field is erased automatically. DVD The bottom of the screen shows the number of titles present on the disc, together with the number of chapters in the title selected currently (or the first title if no title has yet been specified).
Advanced MP3/WMA/JPEG and audio CD features The DV27 DVD player has the ability to handle MP3, WMA and JPEG files, when these are burned on to a CD-R or CD-RW disc. Picture/ Photo CDs are also playable. These file types may be mixed together, if desired. This section explains the more sophisticated CD-based features, for audio CDs and for CD-ROM discs containing MP3, WMA and JPEG files.
When you have entered the programme to your satisfaction, press the PROG button again. This changes the display to show the programmed list (‘Playlist’ mode) and playback starts automatically. Playback can be stopped and started using the STOP and PLAY keys, as normal. To stop the programmed sequence and return to normal playback, press the PROG button for a third time; this stops playback and changes the player to ‘Browse’ mode.
