Remote Control Functions

IMPORTANT NOTE:The remote control for

the JBL Cinema ProPack 600

may be programmed to control up to eight devices, including the DCR600IIand DVD600II. It is helpful to think of the remote as being organized into “pages,” with one page for each device. Depending on which device has been selected, the buttons on that device’s page will perform different functions, as listed starting on this page. These functions may vary from the labels on the remote, and from one device to the next. Some buttons may perform no function at all for a given device.

In order to go to the page for a particular device, such as the DVD600

, you will need to press the Input Selector button for that device (DVD in this case), located in a grouping just below the power buttons. The remote will then function as if it were dedicated to the DVD600

If you would like to make an adjustment that affects the DCR600

receiver, such as turning the volume up or down, you must first go to the page for the DCR600IIby pressing its Input Selector button. This button is labeled “Main” on the remote. The exception to this rule is that the transport functions of the DVD600

– Play, Forward and Reverse Search, Stop, Pause, and Previous and Next Chapter/Track Skip – may be accessed from the “Main” page, without having to jump to the DVD page.

•

When a camera icon appears on the screen, this is your indication that there is multipleangle information on the disc being played. To change the angle, press the Angle Button

until the desired angle view appears. An on-screen banner message will appear to indicate the angle view in use.

Using the DVD Disc’s Menu

One of the unique features of the DVD system is that it offers a producer the opportunity to include a wide range of features on a disc, including multiple-language tracks; subtitles in a variety of languages; special information such as movie trailers and cast information; as well as other custom-tailored information. In addition, producers may divide a movie or program into chapters that allow for quick access to specific parts of the program. These chapters may be accompanied by thumbnail pictures of a scene from the specific chapter to help you select the desired spot on the disc.

When a disc is playing, press the Menu Button z to pause the playback and display the disc’s menu. As there are no hard rules about style and content of DVD menus, the way they appear on the screen and the information they contain will vary from one disc to another. However, the following general rules apply to most menus:

•

The first menu that appears is the Main Menu, and you may move through the options with the

⁄

/¤/‹/

›

Buttons

as the disc’s programming allows. The option selected will typically be highlighted in a certain color or inside an outline box.

•

To select a highlighted option, which may either play a portion of the disc or move to a submenu, press the Enter Button or Play/Pause Button .

(continued)

DVD600II

Operating the DVD600IIDVD Changer

•

On some discs, when you select the DVD menu during the playback of a movie, the disc will return to the point in the program where the menu was selected by offering a “Play Movie” option. Press the Enter Button or Play/Pause Button to resume play. However, not all discs offer this feature, and selecting the menu while playing a movie may mean that you will either have to go back to the beginning of the program or the start of a chapter. This feature is out of the control of the DVD600

, as it is set by the

disc’s internal programming.

•Some DVD discs also feature a Chapter Selection menu. Press the Title Buttonx to proceed directly to the disc’s Chapter Selection option.

IMPORTANT NOTES ON DVD PLAYBACK

Due to the nature of this product category, DVD players, while being operated at elevated temperatures, may exhibit certain anomalies such as picture freeze-ups. If this occurs, the DVD600

needs to be “reset” by powering it down and up again, using its master On/Off switch. Should this occur with your DVD600

, first check your discs for any damage, scratches and fingerprints. If discs are OK, then ventilation around the DVD600

needs to be increased to

ensure proper operation. The DVD600

is capable of all the features and options covered by the DVD standards. However, it is up to the producer of a DVD disc to decide which of those features and functions are available on any given disc. For that reason, not all discs will function identically, and some discs will not have many of the features of the DVD system. For example, most current DVD discs do not take advantage of the multiple-angle feature. When the player displays the “Feature Prohibited” icon “”, this indicates that the disc has not been programmed for that feature.

In addition, it is common for the producers of DVD discs to block the use of certain functions during only some parts of a disc. For example, many discs prohibit the use of fast-play buttons or prohibit access to the Chapter Menu display during the playback of copyright notices, studio logos, movie credits or trailers. The appearance of the “Feature Prohibited” icon “”, or the inability of certain features to operate when the disc itself has prohibited them, does not indicate a problem with the DVD600

, as these fea-

tures are outside of the unit’s control.

Using the Menu Bar

The DVD600IIis equipped with a powerful on-

screen display system that serves the dual purpose of showing you the current status of the DVD600

while enabling quick and easy changes to settings and functions. Depending on whether a DVD or CD is in use, the menu will vary to display information that is specific to the type of disc in play.

Menus and Controls

When a disc is playing, press the Status Button e to view the status of the current

disc and to change the setting for key playback functions (Figure 18).

Figure 18 Title:The number shown indicates the number

of the title that is currently playing. Chapter: The number shown indicates the

number of the chapter that is currently playing. Audio: The number and abbreviation show the

audio language soundtrack that is currently playing. Consult the DVD jacket for the key to available audio tracks on the disc.

Subtitles: The number and abbreviation show the subtitle language that is currently playing. Consult the DVD jacket for the key to available subtitle languages on the disc. A pound sign (#) displayed next to the language selection indicates that subtitles are active.

Angles: The number shown indicates the multiple-angle view that is currently playing.

Bookmarks: Highlight this area and press the Enter Button to mark or go to previously

bookmarked locations on a disc. Disc Type: The type of disc playing (DVD or CD)

is shown. Disc Number: The slot number of the disc being

played is shown. Time Indicator:The elapsed time of the current

title is shown. Once the Menu Bar appears, press the

‹/›

Buttons ` to move across the display to select the desired option. When the option to be changed is highlighted in white with yellow brackets on both sides, press the Enter Button

to change the setting for that option.

Selecting Titles and Chapters

Some discs contain more than one title. Remember that a disc may contain one title or two separate program titles, or the disc may use the Title function to separate the special feature sections or audio tracks on the disc. The use of titles is optional with the producer of each DVD disc, as is the way in which he/she may choose to implement the feature. You may directly access any chapter while the disc is playing or in Pause mode simply by entering its number using the remote.

To change the title on those discs using the Menu Status Bar, follow these steps:

1. During disc playback, press the Status Button e.

2. If needed, press the

‹

› Buttons `

until the disc icon for the current title, with the letter “T” underneath it, is highlighted in white between yellow brackets.

3. Press the Enter Button .

4. Note that the number to the right of the “T”

will be replaced with two dashes (– –).

5. Use the Numeric Keys – to enter the number of the title to be accessed.

6. The desired title will automatically be started. Titles may also be selected during the playback

of a DVD by pressing the Title Buttonx. However, the action of the disc when pressing this button will vary from disc to disc. On occasion, pressing this button will take you to the disc’s main menu while, in other cases, pressing this button will result in no action at all.

The movies or programs on most discs are divided into individual chapters, as selected by the disc’s producer. Using the on-screen Menu Bar, you may view the number of the current chapter and move to any chapter on the disc.

To change the chapter using the Menu Status Bar, follow these steps:

1. During disc playback, press the Status Button e.

2. Press the

‹

› Buttons ` until the

icon showing a disc and a file folder (second from left), with the letter “C” beneath it, is highlighted in white between yellow brackets.

3. Press the Enter Button .

4. Note that the number to the right of the “C”

DVD600II

Operating the DVD600IIDVD Changer

will be replaced with two dashes (– –).

5. Using the Numeric Keys –, enter the number of the chapter to be accessed.

6. The desired chapter will automatically be started.

You may also simply enter the chapter number while the disc is playing to skip to that chapter.

Changing Languages (Audio)

DVD discs may contain a variety of audio tracks, including foreign languages, special commentaries, descriptive video for the sight-impaired, and various digital formats. Some DVD-Audio discs that contain linear PCM or Dolby Digital

5.1 audio tracks may allow you to access these tracks using the Audio feature described in this section. In normal play, the unit will always look for the default setting for the audio track, but you may change the audio track at any time using the Menu Status Bar and following these steps:

1. During disc playback, press the Status Button e.

2. Press the

‹

› Buttons ` until the

speaker icon (third from the left) is highlighted in white between yellow brackets.

3. Press the Enter Button .

4. Note that the main Menu Bar will be replaced

with a single display of the current language type (Figure 19).

Figure 19

5. Press the Enter Button until the desired audio track is displayed. Note that the audio tracks available on a disc will vary and that they are always listed on the disc’s jacket or cover.

6. Within a few seconds, the disc will continue play with the newly selected audio track.

Note that the audio track type selected in this fashion is temporary and will only remain in effect until the player is turned off. When the unit is turned on for subsequent play, the default audio type will always be used.

The audio track may also be selected during the playback of a DVD by pressing the Audio Button t. After pressing the button, the audio track may be changed by pressing the Enter Button until the desired audio track is shown. Note, however, that some discs do not

allow audio track change while a disc is playing. When the Audio Button t is pressed on this type of disc, the player will go to the disc’s own menu page for audio track selection. In this case, use the

‹/›

/⁄/

Buttons y`

to make the selection from the menu

screen and then press the Enter Button . The functionality of the Audio Button t may

vary from disc to disc. Many discs will allow you to change the playback language while the disc is playing, as noted earlier. However, when the Audio Button t is pressed with some discs, playback will stop and you will be taken to the disc’s own audio menu. At that menu, use the

‹/›

/⁄/

Buttons y` to high- light the desired playback language. Press the Enter Button when the choice is made and the disc will either resume playback or take you to the disc’s main menu. Note that these functions are controlled by information programmed within the disc, and are outside of the control of the DVD600

DVD discs may contain a variety of subtitles. In normal play, the unit will always look for the default setting for the subtitle language, but you may change that language at any time using the Menu Status Bar and by following these steps:

1. During disc playback, press the Status Button e.

2. Press the

‹

› Buttons ` until the

letter “S” icon (fourth from the left) is highlighted in white between yellow brackets.

3. Press the Enter Button .

4. Note that the main Menu Bar will be replaced

with a single display of the subtitle language (Figure 20).

Figure 20

5. Press the Enter Button until the desired subtitle language is displayed. Note that the subtitles available on a disc will vary, and they are always listed on the disc’s jacket or cover. Some discs may not offer alternative subtitles, or any subtitles at all.

6. Press the Subtitle On/Off Button and the Enter Button and within a few sec- onds the disc will continue to play with the newly selected subtitle language.

Note that the subtitle language selected in this fashion is temporary, and will remain in effect

until the player is turned off. When the unit is turned on for subsequent play, the default subtitle language will always be used.

The subtitle language may also be selected during the playback of a DVD by pressing the Subtitle Button . After pressing the button, the language may be changed by pressing the Enter Button until the desired choice is shown. Note, however, that some discs do not allow audio track change while the disc is playing. When the Subtitle Button is pressed, the player will go to the disc’s own menu page for subtitle disc selection. In this case, use the

‹/›

/⁄/

Buttons y`

to make the selection from the menu

screen and then press the Enter Button . IMPORTANT NOTE:The steps indicated on

the page allow you to change the subtitle language, but they do not determine whether the subtitles are actually displayed on the screen. To have the subtitles appear at any time, press the Subtitle On/Off Button to toggle the subtitles on or off with each press of the button. When the subtitles are active, a check-mark icon “✔” will appear in the box to the right of the subtitle description as shown earlier.

Also note that some DVD discs do not contain subtitles. When the Subtitle On/Off Button

is pressed on a disc with no subtitles, the

Prohibit icon “” will appear on screen.

Changing Camera Angles

A special feature of the DVD format is its capability of showing more than one view, or camera angle, of the same scene. This feature enables you to become the director, selecting the view of a scene that you wish. Note, however, that this feature does not appear on many discs and, when it does appear, it will typically be for only certain scenes and not for the entire disc’s program. If you attempt to use the multiple-angle feature on a disc that is not programmed for it, you may see the “Prohibited Feature” icon “” on the screen. This is not a fault of the player; it simply indicates that the feature is not available on the disc being played.

To see whether a disc contains multiple angles, check the disc’s cover or jacket. When a disc does contain scenes with multiple angles, the producers will usually include some sort of special on-screen icon to alert you to the availability of different angles of view. When you see such an icon, the angle may be changed by the following steps:

1. Press the Status Button e.

Playing MP3 and Video CD Discs

The DVD600IIis rare among DVD players in that it is able to play discs containing MP3 audio files. This means that you may enjoy the latest music, using discs created in your computer, through the high quality audio components in your home the

ater system. As the way that MP3

files are recorded

on discs differs from the way conventional CD audio discs are structured, MP3 playback is somewhat different from standard CDs.

MP3 Disc Playback

When the DVD600

reads a disc and recognizes it as an MP3 disc, no Disc Type Indicator will light; however, a listing of all the directories and tracks on the disc will appear on the video screen. (Figure 23). Note that the right side of the screen will initially be blank, as that is used for programming playlists for MP3 playback. The black box in the upper left corner of the screen will show the Play symbol while a track is playing, or the Play/Pause symbol when a track has been paused, or no symbol when the unit is in Stop mode. The box in the top center of the display will contain the file name of the currently selected track.

The second row of boxes will display, from left to right, an indication of whether the current mode is Standard Play, Random Play or Repeat Play; the track number currently playing, and the elapsed time of the current track.

Figure 23 To play a track, press the

⁄/¤

Navigation

Buttons y until the desired track name

is highlighted. If the list of tracks is longer than will fit on the screen, a

⁄

or ¤indicator will appear at the top or bottom of the track list to remind you that you may scroll through the list to see additional titles.

To begin playback, press the Play/Pause Button or the Enter Button .

During MP3 playback most of the standard CD/DVD playback controls operate in their normal fashion:

•

You may skip back to the previous track on the disc by pressing the Previous Button .

NOTES ON MP3 PLAYBACK

•

The Fast Forward and Reverse Search modes are not available during MP3 playback.

•

During MP3 playback the Program Time Indicators will show the elapsed time of the track being played. Other time display options are not available with MP3 playback.

•

The DVD600

is only compatible with standard MP3-encoded discs. Other compressed audio formats used for Internet audio downloads will not play on the DVD600

•

Due to the differences in various versions of the MP3 format, and the many differences between the CD-R machines used to record MP3 discs on a computer, it is possible that some MP3 discs may not play on the DVD600

even though they will work on a computer. This is normal and does not indicate a fault with the unit.

•

When a multisession disc with both standard CD audio and MP3 content is in use, the DVD600

will play only the CD audio sections of the disc.

•

When an MP3 disc with multiple directories is playing, the DVD600

will search out all MP3 files on the disc and list them in the onscreen display in the order in which the directories are structured on the disc. Note that if the same title is used for tracks in different directories, this may result in the same title appearing more than once in the track listings.
