Displaying DVD audio contents
DVDs are usually divided into titles that are
divided into chapters. The playback begins with
the title that contains the most chapters. For
example, this has the advantage that the intro-
duction of a DVD is not played first.
All of the chapters, numbered all the way
through, are show, i.e. the numbering is differ-
ent than on the DVD. The numbering of the
DVD is displayed in the status line.
Example:Chapter 06 of the selection corresponds to
chapter 4 in title 1 of the DVD.
Since the first title is not played automatically,
the display in the chapter selection can begin
with a higher number than 01.
The behavior during playback of the DVD
can differ, depending on the DVD. It may
not be possible to play some DVDs or the play-
back may stop before the end. In this case, the
system usually skips to the next DVD in the
DVD changer. Select the chapter by turning the controller.
If playback does not automatically continue
after the end of a title, then use the controller to
select the next chapter.
A maximum of 99 chapters of a DVD can be
played back.
