The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol, within an equilateral triangle, is intended to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated "dangerous voltage" within the product's enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to persons. The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of important operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in the literature accompanying the appliance. 2 Marking by the "CE" symbol (shown left) indicates compliance of this device with the EMC (Electromagnetic Compatibility) and LVD (Low Voltage Directive) standards of the European Community. NOTICES This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules.

This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. [. . . ] 5 NAVIGATION CLUSTER This centrally-located cluster of four buttons (up, down, left, right) duplicates the same set of buttons on the PMDT's front panel, allowing you to operate the PMDT fully from the remote control. up/down/left/right: Use the up, down, left and right buttons to navigate menus (both the PMDT's own menus and those of the DVD discs you play). In addition, during normal play (as opposed to when you are in a menu), left and right can be used to access scan reverse and scan forward, respectively . return: Use the return button to return you to where you were on the disc after a stop command. (It is possible that the authoring of the DVD in question will explicitly prohibit doing so, in which case nothing will happen. ) The return button may also be used by a DVD disc author for part of their onscreen menu system. menu: In the DVD standard, there are provisions for both disc menus and player menus, which can get confusing. When you first press the menu but- ton, you will be presented with a choice on the onscreen display: Disc Menu Player Menu Help Menu About. . . 27 (In the front panel display window, you will see only the currently selected menu. ) Subsequent presses of the menu button will cycle through your options. When you have highlighted the one you want to use, press enter. Note that using this system, you can (for example) access the player menu to check on your PMDT's setup at any time, without having to stop the disc. Once you are working in the menu system, the menu button acts like a "cancel" button on your computer, allowing you to exit a particular menu item without having made any changes. Since some DVD discs use the menu button as part of their internal navagation, when you are already within a disc menu, the list of choices presented on screen will change to: Send MENU command to disc Player Menu Help Menu About. . . Pressing enter while the first item on the above menu is highlighted will issue the menu command that some discs require for navigation. Note that the menu shown immediately above only appears when you are within the DVD's own menu structure--not while watching a movie, or while stopped, or while listening to a CD. The PMDT is smart enough to be context-sensitive. That is, it will give you access to the things you might need, when you might need them. enter: As you might expect, the enter button allows you to explicitly save any changes you might make in the menu system. It may also be used by DVD discs as part of their own navigation system. program: The prog button on the remote control duplicates the function of the program button on the front panel. Pressing either generates a popup menu on the on screen display containing the following: Add Item Delete Item Save Program Delete Program Program On (or Program Off, depending on which mode you are in) 28 Pressing program repeatedly cycles you through the listed options. The currently selected option is highlighted on the screen, and appears in the front panel display. For more information on programming your PMDT, see Programming the PMDT later in this manual. 6 NUMERIC KEYPAD Use these numbers in conjunction with disc menus (when the authoring of the disc calls for numeric input), and in conjunction with the jump button to directly access the part of the disc you want. 7 TITLE, HELP JUMP , title: Use the title button to access the title menu of any DVD you play, at any time. help: Use the help button to access the online help system bilt into the PMDT. Press help, followed by the button that you would like to have help on. Note that this feature places information on your television screen, so your TV will have to be on to see the help text. (Note: this feature not implemented as of August 1999. ) jump: Use the jump button to "jump" directly to a different spot on the disc. Pressing the button creates a popup window that looks something like the following: Jump to: 1 5 00:23 <Elapsed Title Time> The example above indicates that you pressed the jump button at 23 seconds into Title 1, Chapter 5. By default, the current title is selected. [. . . ] Experience, dedication, and integrity make these professionals ideally suited to assist with our customers' service needs.
