35 PROGRAMMED PLAY
Programmed Play
The DVD 50 is equipped with a wide range of
programmed play functions that enable you to
have the unit select or repeat tracks for you, or
you may program a specific order for discs and
tracks to play.
Random Play
The DVD 50’s Random Play modes let you relax
while the unit plays the tracks on one disc, or
all the tracks on all discs in random order for
hours of listening or viewing enjoyment. The
three modes of Random Play are as follows:
■ Random 1 Disc: Plays all the tracks on a
single disc in random order and then stops.
■ Random All Discs: Plays all the tracks on
one disc in random order and then plays all
the tracks on each succeeding disc in ran-
dom order and then stops.
■ Shuffle All Discs: Plays 2 tracks randomly
from a disc and then plays 2 tracks randomly
from a different disc until all tracks on all
discs have been played.
To initiate Random Play, press the
Random
Button
l. If the unit is stopped, the
machine will begin playing; otherwise the
Random Playback sequence will take place
immediately. The first press of the Random but-
ton will initiate a “Random 1” playback, as
indicated by the appearance of an on-screen
banner message (Figure 21) and
Random O
and 1 Indicators N. To use one of the other
Random Play modes, press the
Random
Button
l again to step through each of the
modes in the following order:
Random 1
➜ Random All Discs ➜ Shuffle All
Discs
➜ Standard Play
To cancel a Random Play sequence, press the
Random Button l until you see the
Standard Play Banner (Figure 22) in the on-
screen display and the
Random O or
Repeat/Random Indicators N go out.

The DVD 50 offers five repeat functions that

in order from beginning to end until play-
back is manually stopped.
■ Repeat 1 Disc: Plays a specific disc from
start to finish until playback is manually
stopped.
■ Repeat Title: For DVD discs only, this mode
repeats the title currently being played until
playback is manually stopped.
■ Repeat Track/Chapter: Repeats the CD
track or DVD chapter currently being played
until playback is manually stopped.

of a disc until playback is manually stopped.
To select Repeat All, Repeat 1 Disc, Repeat Title
or Repeat Track/Chapter, simply press the

with the desired playback method appears on
the screen. The selection process will follow
this order:

Repeat Off
