CD PLAYBACK

Many functions of the HS 500 operate the same way for CD playback

as for DVD play; however, there are some important differences. When

a CD is loaded, the HS 500 will automatically display the Player

Information menu. See Figure 71. Status banners are not available dur-

ing CD play. Features unique to CD play are described in this section.

Player Information Menu

The HS 500’s Player Information menu displays disc information and

enables you to program playback modes. If it is not already on screen,

press the Info Button to display the Player Information menu. See

Figure 71.

The Player Information menu has two submenus, Playback Info and

Program, which may be accessed by using the Navigation Buttons to

highlight the submenu’s icon, and pressing the Enter Button to select.

Playback Info Submenu: This submenu displays basic disc and

playback mode information. See Figure 71.

Disc: This line displays the disc type, such as CD.

Audio: This line displays the type of audio recorded on the disc, usually

Stereo for CDs.

Playlist: You may choose to play the tracks in order as they appear on

the disc, or you may program a playlist containing some or all of the

tracks in the order in which you wish to hear them. This line indicates

which of these two modes has been selected.

Repeat: With this line highlighted, press the Enter Button or the Repeat

Button to activate Repeat mode. Each press will change the repeat

mode from Repeat 1 (repeat one track) to Repeat All (repeat all tracks

on the disc) to Repeat Off. Repeat A-B is not selected using this setting.

Random: With this line highlighted, press the Enter Button or the

Random Button to activate Random play mode, in which the tracks on

the disc are played in random order. Each press will toggle between

turning Random play on or off.

Time: This line indicates the time display mode (Track Elapsed, Track

Remaining, Disc Elapsed, Disc Remaining), with the time displayed to

the right. Press the Enter Button to enable scrolling through the time dis-

play options, and press the Enter Button again to make your selection.

Time Search Function: While the disc is in Play mode, you may begin

playback from a specific time in the track or disc by navigating until the

time is highlighted. Use the Numeric Keys to enter the desired start time,

remembering to enter leading zeros. For example, if you wish to begin

play at one minute and thirty seconds into the current track, enter “0-0-

1-3-0.” 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.

Track List: A list of tracks on the disc will appear. Use the Navigation

Buttons to scroll through the list. Press the Enter Button or the Play

Button while a track is highlighted to begin play. If the disc contains

more tracks than there is room to display at once, a page down arrow

will appear in the lower left corner of the screen. Highlight it and press

the Enter button to view the next page of track listings. On subsequent

pages a page up arrow will also appear.

Program Submenu: This submenu lets you program a playlist. See

Figure 72. It looks similar to the Player Information submenu, but adds

a column to the right of the track list for indicating the play order. See

the section on Programming a Playlist for more information. When you

have finished viewing the Player menus, press the OSD or Clear Button

to remove the displays from the screen.

Tracks

To select a track, make sure the Player Information menu is on screen.

Press the Info or OSD Button to activate it if necessary. Next, press the

Navigation Buttons so that the Track is highlighted, and press the Enter

Button to begin playing the new track.

During playback, you may move one by one through the chapters at

any time by pressing the Skip Reverse (Previous)/Skip Forward (Next)

Buttons. When you press the Previous or Skip Reverse button once, the

player will return to the start of the current track. Additional presses of

either button will step back through the available tracks, one at a time.

See Figure 73.

NOTE: When a JPEG, MP3 or Windows Media disc is playing, a

special screen will appear. See the section describing those

types of discs for more information.
