20 RDV-1093 DVD Audio/Video Player
Inserting a Disc
A disc drawer slides out to accept a disc
and retracts for playback. Place the disc in
the drawer label-side up and program side
down. Make sure the disc is properly centered
in the tray. The OPEN/CLOSE button on the
front panel or the remote opens or closes the
drawer.
Playing a Disc
Press the PLAY / button on the remote to start
playing the disc from the beginning. If the disc
drawer is open, it will close automatically. If
the RDV-1093 is in standby mode with a disc
loaded, pressing the PLAY
/ button will “wake-
up” the unit and begin playing the disc.
By default, DVDs either begin playing automati-
cally or display a start-up menu as soon as
the disc is inserted. This auto-play feature can
be disabled. See DVD Playback in the Setup
section of this manual for information.
The PLAY / button usually starts play from
the beginning of the disc, except after the
PAUSE
, button has been pressed. In this
case, the disc will resume playing from the
current location. The RDV-1093 also has a
resume feature that restarts play at the current
location after pressing the STOP
. button once
during playback.
Stopping Disc Playback
Press the STOP . button to stop a disc that
is playing.
The first press of the STOP . button memorizes
the point at which the disc stopped playing.
Resume play at that point by pressing the
PLAY
/ button. This stored position remains
in memory until the disc drawer is opened, or
the top menu is selected.
The second press of the STOP . button clears
the memorized position.
Pause/Still Frame
Press the PAUSE , button to temporarily suspend
play. To resume playing the disc from the current
location, press the PLAY
/ button.
Still-Frame: When playing a video disc, a
still-frame picture remains on the TV screen
with no sound when the PAUSE
, button is
pressed. Press the PAUSE , button again to
advance to the next still-frame picture. Each
button press advances one frame.
Skip forward/back
The TRACK { } buttons skip forward/back
to the beginning of the next selection. While
a disc is playing, pressing the right TRACK
{ } button once advances to the beginning
of the next Chapter or Track. Pressing the left
button returns to the beginning of the current
scene or song. Pressing twice in quick succes-
sion returns to the beginning of the previous
Chapter or Track.
Press the button as many times as necessary
to find the desired scene or selection.
For a DVD-Video disc: During playback,
this feature usually skips to the next Chapter,
although it may skip to the next Title on some
discs, depending on the disc configuration.
For an Audio CD or DVD-Audio disc:
While the disc is playing or stopped, this feature
skips to the next Track.
NOTE: There are other methods of locating
specific selections on a disc, including direct
