Remote type TV System This informs the player which type of remote control you are using, so that the player can take into account the slight differences between the remote types. For ARCAM remote controls, the remote type is always written on the front of the remote control, normally at the bottom of the unit. This is set at the factory to be appropriate for the type of TV used in your country. Should you need to change this setting, the options are explained below.
HQ Video (High Quality Video) This setting controls the type of video given out on the Component and SCART video outputs. It is set at the factory to be appropriate for the type of TV used in your country, so it should not be necessay to change it.

Basic use of your DVD player DV89 DVD PLAYER LOAD PLAY Introduction ‘Basic operation’ explains how to play a DVD, CD or other type of disc, including the use of the CR-314 remote control. More sophisticated features – such as special playback modes and programming jumps and playback sequences – are described in the ‘Advanced features’ section. STOP PAUSE TRACK Fast play Press or on the front panel or remote control to play fast forward or backwards.
Using the remote control CD/DVD 0–9 keypad Ensure that DVD mode is selected using the CD/DVD toggle button. The ‘DVD’ LED above the CD/DVD button is lit briefly when DVD mode is selected. This allows direct access to individual tracks on audio CDs. To select a track, press the corresponding keypad button followed by OK. For tracks greater than 9, enter the digits in sequence. For example, to play track 15, press 1, then 5, then OK. DISP (display) Standby Dims or turns the DV89’s display on or off.

SUBT (subtitle) Press SUBT on the remote control to cycle through the available subtitle languages, including ‘OFF’. Some discs force subtitles on, over-riding player set up.

Advanced features Advanced DVD and VCD features This section explains the more sophisticated DVD and VCD features, such as special playback modes. The operations described here are not exactly the same for DVDs and VCDs, but are similar enough to make it appropriate to group them together. Note that many VCDs have a single track, so some operations involving tracks will not be relevant.
To program a special sequence Press PROG on the remote control to open the ‘Programme’ menu. Note that playback must be stopped first. DVD-video The bottom of the screen shows the number of titles present on the disc, together with the number of chapters in the title selected currently (or the first title if no title has yet been specified). Below this is an information line, giving relevant information for the cursor position.
Advanced MP3/WMA/JPEG and audio CD features The DV89 DVD player has the ability to handle MP3, WMA and JPEG files, when these are burned on to a CD-R or CD-RW disc. Picture/Photo CDs are also playable. These file types may be mixed together, if desired. This section explains the more sophisticated CD-based features, for audio CDs and for CD-ROM discs containing MP3, WMA and JPEG files.
Because of differences in the many MP3 and WMA encoders available, we recommend that you conduct a test recording before transferring large numbers of MP3 files to CD-R or CD-RW for subsequent playback on the DV89.
