Basic Playback —Continued
This section explains how to start, pause, and stop play-
back.
Notes:
• During playback, you can select chapters or tracks by
using the Up [ ] and Down [ ] buttons.
• When you stop playback of a DVD-Video disc, the
DPS-5.9 remembers the point at which playback was
stopped. To resume playback from that point, press the
Play [ ] button. To cancel the Resume function, press
the Stop [ ] button again. The Resume function is
reset when another disc is selected.
•With the Last Memory function you can resume play-
back from a specific point even if the disc has been
removed (see page 41).
• Do not move the DPS-5.9 or subject it to vibration
during playback. Doing so may damage your discs or
DPS-5.9.
• Prolonged display of the same picture or menu may
cause irreparable damage to your TV screen, known as
screen burn-in . To prevent this, don’t keep playback
paused for too long and always press the Stop [ ] but-
ton when you’ve finished playing a DVD-Video disc.
Your DPS-5.9 features a screen saver to protect your
TV from the effects of burn-in (see page 48).
•With some DVD-Video discs, you may experience
picture noise that is not normally visible with regular
TV broadcasts. This is usually because DVD-Video
discs uses a lot of high-resolution video data. The
amount of noise, if any, will depend on your particular
TV and the problem can sometimes be alleviated by
turning down your TV’s sharpness control.
DVD-Video discs usually have an on-screen menu from
which you can select titles, chapters, and other options,
including foreign language soundtracks, subtitles, and
audio formats (e.g., Dolby Digital or DTS).
Notes:
• Not all DVD-Video discs have menus.
• Menu operation varies from disc-to-disc. See the
disc’s sleeve notes for details.
• On some DVD-Video discs, options such as foreign
language soundtracks, subtitles, and audio formats
appear on a separate menu called the disc menu, and
titles and chapters appear on what’s called the title
menu . To display the disc menu, press the [Menu] but-
ton. If no menu appears, press the [Top Menu] button.
•With DVD-Video discs, foreign language soundtracks
and audio formats can usually be selected during play-
back by using the remote controller’s [Audio] button
(see page 41). Similarly, subtitles can be selected by
using the remote controller’s [Subtitle] button (see
page 42).
