You can also use the remote control the same way to control video playback. Button descriptions: Main Menu - Goes to the main menu of a DVD. Audio - Switches to another audio stream of a DVD. Subtitle - Switches to another subtitle stream of a DVD. Angle - Switches to another angle property of a DVD. Playing back a DVD/VCD/SVCD When you insert a DVD/VCD/SVCD into your disc drive, Mobile Theater automatically plays the disc. Use the remote control to navigate through the video disc. When you stop video playback, you automatically go to the DVD page where you can resume playback, restart the video, go to the disc's title menu, eject the disc, or specify DVD language settings. 20 Notebook PC Audio Video Option Specifying DVD settings A DVD video may contain several audio and subtitle tracks. These features are often used as translations for different languages, captions, or aid for the hearing/ visually impaired. You can change the DVD-Video's audio and subtitle settings by selecting Audio Language or Subtitle in the Selection Menu. Another unique feature of DVD-Videos is that they have multi-video angle streams. These angle streams are videos recorded simultaneously by multiple cameras for the purpose of presenting different camera viewpoints of a scene. Select Angle (not available on all DVD titles) to specify which camera angle to use when watching concerts, sport events, movies, and so on. Note: When you have multiple DVD drives installed in your computer, Mobile Theater opens a page where you can select which one to use. Tip: When you are using a mouse instead of the remote control, you can use the Navigation Panel to pause, resume, stop, or browse through the video. Changing DVD region codes Most DVD players are given a code of the region in which they are sold. Such players will not play discs that are not coded for its region. This is done to give movie studios geographic control over the release of their movies reproduced in DVD-Video format. When your DVD drive's region code is not compatible with the disc you are playing, Mobile Theater prompts you if you want to change it. The program displays the region codes encrypted in the DVD video as wells as the one your DVD drive currently supports. [. . . ] Press Stop to end receiving radio signals.
