OPERATION

Video Bit Rate: This line displays the video bit rate up to the maximum

of 10 Mbps. This indication will vary as a disc is played in response to

changes in the amount of compression that was applied to the video

signal when the disc was created. Thus, as shown in Figure 63, when

the disc is stopped or paused, this line will remain blank.

Audio Bit Rate: This line displays the audio bit rate up to the maximum

of 5 Mbps.

When you have finished viewing the Player menus, press the Info, OSD

or Clear Button to remove the displays from the screen and return to

normal play.

On-Screen Status Display

When a DVD is playing, you may press the Status Button at any time to

view a quick summary of the disc’s playback status. The Status Bar not

only gives you a snapshot of the unit’s current state, it also provides an

easy way to select a different group, title, chapter or track, or use the

time search feature. See Figure 64.

Figure 64 – Status Bar

• Group/Title: For DVD-Video discs, this displays the current title

number. For DVD-Audio discs, the group number is shown.

• Chapter: For DVD-Video discs, this shows the current chapter.

For DVD-Audio discs, the current track is shown.

• Play Mode Icon: This displays the current play mode icon;

e.g., Play

›, Pause ±, Stop Í.

• Time Display: This section of the display shows the time correspon-

ding to the type of display indicated in the Time Display Type. The

Time Search function enables you to start playback at any point in the

program. Use the

‹/› Navigation Buttons to highlight this display.

You may then use the Numeric Keys to enter the numbers correspon-

ding to the time on the disc at which you wish play to commence.

After you enter the last digit, there will be a momentary delay before

the digit appears while the HS 500 locates the selected time position,

then play will begin.

• Time Display Type: This section identifies the type of information

in the Time Display section of the display. Use the Navigation Buttons

to select this setting, and each subsequent press of the Enter Button

will change the time display from Title Elapsed, to Title Remaining,

to Chapter Elapsed to Chapter Remaining, and cycle back to Title

Elapsed. The time displayed on screen and in the front-panel

Information Display will change accordingly. For DVD-Audio discs,

the time display options are Group Elapsed, Group Remaining, Track

Elapsed and Track Remaining.

• Time Bar: This display is a graphic representation of the time elapsed

for the title being played. As the disc plays, the number of bars will

increase to reflect approximately what percentage of the title has been

played thus far.

Titles and Groups

To select a title or group, first press the Status Button so that the Status

Display appears. The Current Title or Group will be highlighted in a blue

box. Press the Enter Button and arrows will appear on either side of the

current title or group number, enabling you to either use the Numeric

Keys to enter the desired title/group or to use the

‹/› Navigation

Buttons to scroll through the available title/group numbers. Press the

Enter Button again to begin playing the new title or group. See Figure 65.

Figure 65 – Selecting a Title

If a “ø” icon appears when you attempt to select a new title (group),

this is an indication that the disc does not allow the title (group) to be

changed in this manner, even though a list of numbers will appear. This

is a function of the way the disc was created and is not a flaw in the

HS 500.

For some discs, you may press the Title or Audio Button during playback

to change the current title or group. Other discs will switch to the disc

menu, and some discs may simply restart play from the beginning of the

current title or group. This is a function of how the disc was authored,

and does not reflect a problem with the HS 500.

Chapters and Tracks

To select a chapter for DVD-Video discs or a track for DVD-Audio discs,

first press the Status Button so that the Status Display appears. Next,

press the

› Navigation Button so that the Current Chapter or Track

Number is highlighted. Press the Enter Button and arrows will appear on

either side of the current chapter or track number, enabling you to either

use the Numeric Keys to enter the desired chapter/track or to use the

‹/› Navigation Buttons to scroll through the available chapter/track

numbers. Press the Enter Button again to begin playing the new chapter

or track.

To select a specific chapter or track on a DVD at any time during play-

back, simply press the number corresponding to the chapter or track

you wish to view using the Numeric Keys. You may also move one by

one through the chapters or tracks at any time by pressing the Skip

Reverse (Previous)/Skip Forward (Next) Buttons.
