However, manyDVD-Audio discs include audio tracks in thePCM, Dolby Digital or other formats which theDVD600II is capable of playing. You may needto press the Title Button x rather than theMenu Button z in order to access theseformats.• Some DVD-Audio discs display a still picturewhile a selection is playing. Sometimes, thispicture may disappear when play is stopped andthe DVD600II is placed in the Resume mode. Torestore the picture, fully stop play by pressingthe Stop Button twice before contin-uing play.NOTE: Due to differences in the format ofcertain discs, it is possible that some discs mayinclude a mix of features that are not compati-ble with the DVD600II. Similarly, although theDVD600II is capable of a wide range of features,not all discs include every capability of theDVD system. For example, although theDVD600II is compatible with multi-angle discs,that feature is only possible when the disc isspecially encoded for multiple-angle play. Inaddition, the DVD600II is capable of playing backboth Dolby Digital and DTS soundtracks, but thenumber and types of tracks available will varyfrom disc to disc. To make certain that a specificfeature or soundtrack option is available, pleasecheck the options noted on the disc jacket.• Playback of DTS audio discs requiresconnection to a processor or receiver witha DTS decoder, such as the DCR600II.• Playback capability for CD-R/RW discs mayvary due to variations in the quality of theCD-R/RW disc and the recorder used tocreate the disc.Since they share some of the characteristics andtechnology of CD players, many of the termsand operational concepts used in a DVD playerare similar to what you may be familiar withfrom CD players and changers, or older videodisc formats such as Laser Disc. However, if thisis your first DVD product, some of the termsused to describe the features of a DVD playermay be unfamiliar. The following explanationsshould solve some of the mysteries of DVD, andhelp you to enjoy all the power and flexibility ofthe DVD format and the DVD.Aspect Ratio: This is a description of the widthof a video image in relation to its height. A con-ventional video screen is four units wide forevery three units of height, making it almostsquare. Newer, wide-aspect ratio video displaysare 16 units wide for every nine units of height,making them more like the screen in a movietheater. The program material on a DVD may berecorded in either format and, in addition, youmay configure the DVD to play back in eitherformat, depending on the features recordedon a disc.Chapter: DVD programs are divided into chap-ters and titles. Chapters are the subsectionsprogrammed into a single title on a disc.Chapters may be compared to the individualtracks on an audio CD. Press the Menu button tosee a listing of the chapters on a disc.Component Video: This is an advanced form ofvideo signal which eliminates many of the arti-facts of traditional composite-video signals bysplitting the signal into a separate luminancechannel and two color-difference signals. With acomponent-video connection, you will seegreater picture resolution and eliminate manypicture imperfections, such as the moiré pat-terns often seen on check-patterned cloths.However, in order to benefit from componentvideo, you must have a video display withY/Pr/Pb component-video inputs. Do not connectthe component-video outputs of the DVD600II tothe standard composite or S-Video inputs of aTV or recorder.MP3: MP3 is a format of data file containing acompressed version of an audio selection.Numerous MP3 files are available for downloadfrom the Internet onto your personal computer.Many users are able to copy these files ontocompact discs. Until recently, it has not been pos-sible to play these discs in a standard CD or DVDplayer. However, the DVD600II is capable of rec-ognizing and playing program material on MP3audio discs.Multiple Angle: DVDs have the capability toshow up to four different views of the samescene in a program. When a disc is encodedwith multiple-angle information, pressing theAngle button will enable you to switch betweenthese different views. Note that, at present,few discs take advantage of this capability and,when they do, the multiple-angle technologymay only be present for short periods of timewithin the disc. Producers will usually insertsome sort of icon or graphic in the picture toalert you to the availability of multiple-anglescenes.Reading: This is a message that you will seewhen you first press the Play button. It refersto the fact that the player must first examinethe contents of the disc to see whether it is aCD or DVD, and then extract the informationabout the type of material on the disc, such aslanguages, aspect ratios, subtitles, number oftitles and more. The slight delay while the con-tents of the disc are read is normal.Resume: The operation of the Stop button onthe DVD600II works differently from what youare used to on CD or CD players. On a traditionalCD player, when you press the Stop button, theunit does just that: it stops playback. On a CDplayer, when you press the Start button again,the disc starts from the beginning. With theDVD600II, however, you have two options whenplaying CDs or DVDs (but not MP3 discs).Pressing Stop once will stop the playback, but itactually puts the unit in the Resume mode. Thismeans that you can turn the machine off and,when you press Play the next time, the disc willresume or continue from the point on the discwhere the Stop button was pressed. This ishelpful if you are watching a movie and mustinterrupt your viewing session but wish to pickup where you left off. Pressing the Stop buttontwice will stop the machine in a traditionalmanner and, when the disc is played again, itwill start from the beginning.Title: For a DVD, a title is defined as an entiremovie or program. For a DVD-Audio disc, thetitle may be defined as the audio track, e.g., lin-ear PCM or 5.1-channel Dolby Digital. Theremay be as many chapters within a title as theproducers decide to include. Most discs include
