On the video side, the DVD 25 offers progressive scan  
video outputs for use with digital “HDTV-Ready” dis-  
play monitors. Using a high-speed, single-chip digital  
processor, the DVD 25 is capable of reconstructing  
the 3/2 pulldown effect introduced when film-based  
programs are transferred to video. In conjunction with  
precision video output DACs, the end result is a full  
60-frame-per-second image that is the closest thing  
to film this side of your local cinema. Of course, con-  
ventional Y/Pr/Pb component video, S-Video and  
composite video outputs are also available for use with  
analog televisions and video projectors.

NOTE: This player is designed and manufactured for  
compatibility with Region Management Information  
that is encoded on most DVD discs. This player is  
designed only for playback of discs with Region  
Code 1, or for discs that do not contain Region Code  
information. If there is any other Region Code on a  
disc, that disc will not play on the DVD 25.  
When playing DVDs, easy-to-understand on-screen  
menus and icons make it simple to change languages,  
soundtracks, subtitles or aspect ratio, while a parental-  
lock function enables you to control which discs may  
be viewed by younger members of the household.

DVD players are among the fastest growing consumer  
electronics products ever brought to market, so this  
may be the first DVD player youve owned. Although  
many of the features of the DVD 25 resemble those of  
standard CD changers or players, there are a number  
of functions that you may be unfamiliar with. To ensure  
that you are able to take advantage of all the power  
and flexibility the DVD 25 has to offer, we encourage  
you to review this manual. That small investment of  
your time will pay major dividends in the enjoyment  
you will get from proper use of the DVD 25.

SAFETY INFORMATION  
Verify Line Voltage Before Use  
Cleaning  
Important Information for the User  
Your DVD 25 has been designed for use with 120-  
volt AC current and the plug is specifically designed  
for 120-volt applications. Connection to a line voltage  
other than that for which it is intended can create a  
safety and fire hazard and may damage the unit.  
When the unit gets dirty, wipe it with a clean, soft, dry  
cloth. If necessary, wipe it with a soft cloth dampened  
with mild soapy water, then a fresh cloth with clean  
water. Wipe immediately with a dry cloth. NEVER use  
benzene, aerosol cleaners, thinner, alcohol or any  
volatile cleaning agent. Do not use abrasive cleaners,  
as they may damage the finish of metal parts. Avoid  
spraying insecticide near the unit.  
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. The limits are designed to  
provide reasonable protection against harmful interfer-  
ence in a residential installation. This equipment gener-  
ates, uses and can radiate radio-frequency energy and,  
if not installed and used in accordance with the  
instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio  
communication. However, there is no guarantee that  
harmful interference will not occur in a particular instal-  
lation. If this equipment does cause harmful interfer-  
ence to radio or television reception, which can be  
determined by turning the equipment off and on, the  
user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by  
one or more of the following measures:  
If you have any questions about the voltage require-  
ments for your specific model, or about the line volt-  
age in your area, contact your selling dealer before  
plugging the unit into a wall outlet.  
Unpacking  
The carton and shipping materials used to protect your  
new receiver during shipment were specially designed  
to cushion it from shock and vibration. We suggest  
that you save the carton and packing materials for use  
in shipping if you move, or should the unit ever need  
repair.  
Do Not Use Extension Cords  
We do not recommend that extension cords be used  
with this product. As with all electrical devices, do not  
run power cords under rugs or carpets or place heavy  
objects on them. Damaged power cords should be  
replaced immediately by an authorized service center  
with cords meeting factory specifications.  
Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.  
To minimize the size of the carton in storage, you may  
wish to flatten it. This is done by carefully slitting the  
tape seams on the bottom, and collapsing the carton  
down to a more two-dimensional appearance. Other  
cardboard inserts may be stored in the same manner.  
Packing materials that cannot be collapsed should be  
saved along with the carton in a plastic bag.  
Increase the separation between the equipment  
and receiver.  
Handle the AC Power Cord Gently  
When disconnecting the power cord from an AC out-  
let, always pull the plug; never pull the cord. If you do  
not intend to use the unit for any considerable length  
of time, disconnect the plug from the AC outlet.  
Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit  
different from that to which the receiver is connected.  
Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV  
technician for help.  
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules.  
Operation is subject to the following two conditions:  
(1) this device may not cause harmful interference,  
and (2) this device must accept interference received,  
including interference that may cause undesired  
operation.  
Do Not Open the Cabinet  
If you do not wish to save the packaging materials,  
please note that the carton and other sections of the  
shipping protection are recyclable. Please respect the  
environment and discard those materials at a local  
recycling center.  
There are no user-serviceable components inside this  
product. Opening the cabinet may present a shock  
hazard, and any modification to the product will void  
your guarantee. If water or any metal object such as a  
paper clip, wire or a staple accidentally falls inside the  
unit, disconnect it from the AC power source immedi-  
ately, and consult an authorized service center.  
Remove Front-Panel Protective Film  
NOTE: Changes or modifications may cause this unit  
to fail to comply with Part 15 of the FCC Rules and  
may void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.  
In order to protect the lens covering the front panel of  
your new DVD 25, it is shipped from the factory cov-  
ered by a protective plastic film. Before using the unit,  
remove this film by grabbing one corner and gently  
peeling back the plastic sheet. Note that the film must  
be removed for proper operation of the remote control.  
Installation Location  
To ensure proper operation, and to avoid the  
potential for safety hazards, place the unit on a firm  
and level surface. When placing the unit on a shelf,  
be certain that the shelf and any mounting hard-  
ware can support the weight of the product.  
CAUTION: The DVD 25 uses a laser system. To pre-  
vent direct exposure to the laser beam, do not open  
the cabinet enclosure or defeat any of the safety  
mechanisms provided for your protection. DO NOT  
STARE INTO THE LASER BEAM. To ensure proper use  
of this product, please read this Owner’s Manual care-  
fully and retain it for future use. Should the unit require  
maintenance or repair, please contact your local  
Harman Kardon service center. Refer servicing to  
qualified personnel only.  
Moving the Unit  
Make certain that proper space is provided both  
above and below the unit for ventilation. If this  
product will be installed in a cabinet or other  
enclosed area, make certain that there is sufficient  
air movement within the cabinet.  
Before moving the unit, be certain to disconnect any  
interconnection cords with other components, and  
make certain that you disconnect the unit from the  
AC outlet.  
Do not place the unit directly on a carpeted sur-  
face.  
IMPORTANT NOTE: To avoid damage to the DVD 25  
that may not be covered by the warranty, be certain  
that the disc is removed from the unit before it is  
moved. Once the DVD 25 is installed, a disc may be  
left in the unit when it is turned off, but the unit should  
NEVER be moved with a disc left in the disc tray.  
Avoid moist or humid locations.  
Avoid installation in extremely hot or cold locations,  
or an area that is exposed to direct sunlight or  
heating equipment.  
Do not obstruct the ventilation slots on the top of  
the unit, or place objects directly over them.

Compatible With CD as Well as DVD  
discs, it is possible that some discs may include  
features that are not compatible with the DVD 25.  
Similarly, although the DVD 25 is capable of a wide  
range of features, not all discs include every capability  
of the DVD system. For example, although the DVD 25  
is compatible with multi-angle discs, that feature is only  
possible when the disc is specially encoded for multi-  
ple-angle play. In addition, the DVD 25 is capable of  
playing back both Dolby Digital and DTS soundtracks,  
but the number and types of tracks available will vary  
from disc to disc. To make certain that a specific fea-  
ture or soundtrack option is available, please check the  
options noted on the disc jacket.

DVD TERMINOLOGY  
Since they share some of the characteristics and tech-  
nology of CD players, many of the terms and opera-  
tional concepts used in a DVD player are similar to  
what you may be familiar with from CD players and  
changers, or older video disc formats such as Laser  
Disc. However, if this is your first DVD product, some  
of the terms used to describe the features of a DVD  
player may be unfamiliar. The following explanations  
should solve some of the mysteries of DVD, and help  
you to enjoy all the power and flexibility of the DVD  
format and the DVD 25.  
Title: For a DVD, a title is defined as an entire movie  
or program. There may be as many chapters within a  
title as the producers decide to include. Most discs  
include only one title, but some may have more than  
one, to give you a Double Feature” presentation or to  
include other special features. Press the Title Button  
3
to see a listing of the titles on a disc. When a disc  
has only one title, pressing the Title Button  
3
may  
show a list of the chapters.  
Multiple Angle: DVDs have the capability to show up  
to four different views of the same scene in a pro-  
gram. When a disc is encoded with multiple-angle  
Aspect Ratio: This is a description of the width of a  
video image in relation to its height. A conventional  
video screen is four units wide for every three units of  
height, making it almost square. Newer wide-aspect-  
ratio video displays are 16 units wide for every nine  
units of height, making them more like the screen in a  
movie theater. The program material on a DVD may be  
recorded in either format and, in addition, you may  
configure the DVD 25 to play back in either format,  
depending on the features recorded on a disc.  
information, pressing the Angle Button  
4
will  
enable you to switch between these different views.  
Note that, at present, few discs take advantage of this  
capability and, when they do, the multiple-angle tech-  
nology may only be present for short periods of time  
within the disc. Producers will usually insert some sort  
of icon or graphic in the picture to alert you to the  
availability of multiple-angle scenes.  
Reading: This is a message that you will see when  
Chapter: DVD programs are divided into chapters and  
titles. Chapters are the subsections programmed into a  
single title on a disc. Chapters may be compared to  
the individual tracks on an audio CD. Press the Menu  
you first press the Play Button  
3G. It refers to  
the fact that the player must first examine the contents  
of the disc to see whether it is a CD or DVD, and then  
extract the information about the type of material on  
the disc, such as languages, aspect ratios, subtitles,  
number of titles and more. The slight delay while the  
contents of the disc are read is normal.

Component Video: This form of video signal  
eliminates many of the artifacts of traditional composite  
video signals by splitting the signal into a separate  
luminance channel (the "Y" signal channel) and two  
color-difference signals (the Pr and Pb signal  
channels). With a component video connection, you  
will see greater picture resolution and eliminate many  
picture imperfections such as the moiré patterns often  
seen on check-patterned cloth. However, in order to  
benefit from component video you must have a video  
display with Y/Pr/Pb component video inputs. Do not  
connect the component video outputs of the DVD 25  
to the standard composite or S-Video inputs of a TV  
or recorder.  
Resume: The operation of the Stop Button  
5I  
on the DVD 25 works differently from what you are  
used to on CD players. On a traditional CD player,  
when you press the Stop button, the unit does just  
that: it stops playback. On a CD player, when you press  
the Start button again, the disc starts from the begin-  
ning. With the DVD 25, however, you have two options  
when playing DVD discs. Pressing the Stop Button

NOTES:  
Service Life of Batteries  
Do not point bright lights at the remote control  
sensor.  
The batteries normally last for about one year,  
although this depends on how often, and for what  
operations, the remote control is used.  
Do not place objects between the remote control  
unit and the remote control sensor.  
If the remote control unit fails to work even when it  
is operated near the player, replace the batteries.  
Do not use this remote control unit while simultane-  
ously operating the remote control unit of any other  
equipment.  
Use fresh alkaline AA batteries.  
NOTES:  
Do not attempt to recharge, short-circuit, disassem-  
ble or heat batteries; do not throw them into fire.  
Do not drop, step on or otherwise batter the remote  
control unit. This may damage the parts or lead to a  
malfunction.  
Do not mix old and new batteries.  
Wipe away any leakage inside the remote control  
unit, and install new batteries.  
If leakage should come into contact with your skin,  
immediately wash it off thoroughly with water.  
Batteries contain chemical substances and we rec-  
ommend that you dispose of them properly and in  
compliance with any local regulations.

NOTE: Some first-generation DTS decoders that do  
not support DVD-DTS interface may not work properly  
with the DVD/CD player.  
Optical Digital Audio Connection Notes  
For Your Reference:  
Remove the dust protection cap from the optical  
digital audio output and connect the cable firmly so  
that the configurations of both the cable and the  
connector match.  
Dolby Digital is a digital sound compression  
technique developed by the Dolby Laboratories  
Licensing Corporation. Supporting 5.1-channel  
surround sound, as well as stereo (2-channel)  
sound, this technique enables a large quantity of  
sound data to be efficiently recorded on a disc.  
Dolby Digital and DTS  
Both Dolby Digital and DTS are audio formats used to  
record 5.1-channel audio signals onto the digital track  
of film. Both of these formats provide six separate  
channels: left, right, center, left rear, right rear, and  
common subwoofer.  
Keep the dust protection cap and always reattach  
the cap when not using the connector.  
Linear PCM is a signal recording format used in  
CDs. While CDs are recorded in 44.1kHz/16-bit,  
DVDs are recorded in 48kHz/16-bit up to 96kHz/  
24-bit.  
Audio Output From the Unit’s Optical/  
Coaxial Digital Audio Output Connector  
Remember that Dolby Digital or DTS will only play  
5.1-channel sound if you’ve connected the optical or  
coaxial output of the DVD 25 to a DTS or Dolby Digital  
receiver or decoder (see page 13) and if the disc was  
recorded in the Dolby Digital or DTS format.

If you have a Dolby Pro Logic Surround decoder  
connected to the DVD 25’s analog audio out con-  
nectors, thanks to the “Downmix” function of the  
DVD 25 you will obtain the full benefit of Pro Logic  
from the same DVD movies that provide full 5.1-  
channel Dolby Digital soundtracks, as well as from  
titles encoded with Dolby Surround.

The DVD 25 is designed to digitally output 96kHz  
PCM audio with a 96kHz sampling rate. The 96kHz  
indicator will light in the display. However, some  
96kHz DVDs may include copy protection codes  
that do not permit digital output. For full 96kHz  
fidelity from these discs, use the analog outputs of  
the DVD 25. If your surround processor converter  
does not support 96kHz PCM audio, you must use  
the DVD 25 analog outputs for full 96kHz fidelity

Dolby Digital or DTS decoder, be sure to select  
PCM as the initial setting in the Digital Output menu  
(see page 18). Otherwise, any attempt to play  
DVDs may cause such a high level of noise  
that it may be harmful to your ears and damage  
your speakers.

The first step in checking or changing the system  
defaults is to access the Main menu. First, make certain  
that the DVD 25 is properly connected to a video  
display, and that power is connected. Turn the DVD 25  
on by first pressing in the Main Power On/Off Switch

This menu selects the TV aspect ratio: conventional screen  
shape (4:3) or widescreen (16:9), according to your TV.  
For this process, however, you do not need to load  
a disc into the unit.  
• 4:3 Letterbox: Choose this setting if the DVD 25 is  
connected to a conventional (4:3) TV set and you  
would prefer to see movies without any parts being  
cut off. You will see the entire frame of the movie  
and DVDs recorded with normal 4:3 format will fill  
the entire screen. But movies in widescreen will  
occupy a smaller portion of the screen, with black  
bars at the top and bottom of the screen.

connected to a conventional (4:3) TV set and you  
want widescreen movies to fill the entire screen.  
Note that this setting is effective only with a few  
widescreen DVDs recorded with the Pan and Scan  
mode. With those movies you wont see parts of  
the picture (particularly the right and left edges).  
Most discs produced in a widescreen format cant  
be cropped in this fashion, which means the black  
bars will appear at the top and bottom of the screen  
(letterbox format). Some widescreen DVDs, particu-  
larly anamorphic types (with full vertical-line resolu-  
tion; see section “16:9” below), may be shown with  
original width but spread vertically. With these discs,  
the letterbox format must be selected.This setting  
is useful only with a few DVDs; with all others the  
letterbox format fits best.

This setting enables Dolby Digital recordings to be  
played back with full dialogue intelligibility while  
reducing peak levels. This smooth level compression  
prevents abrupt loud transitions from disturbing  
others without reducing the impact of the digital  
source perceptibly.  
If your receiver or processor is capable of resolving  
all digital inputs, up to 192kHz, select NONE. In  
this case, all signals will be passed through at their  
native rate without down-sampling.  
Digital Output  
If your system includes 5.1 digital audio surround  
decoding (Dolby Digital and/or DTS), select ORIGINAL  
as the digital output. In that case all audio signals will  
be outputted with their original format. If your system  
only includes stereo and/or Dolby Pro Logic, select  
PCM. When PCM is selected you will not be able to  
use DTS soundtracks.  
NOTE: If you play a disc that is recorded with a  
sample rate higher than 48kHz with either the NONE  
or 96kHz setting when your receiver or processor is  
not compatible with those types of signals you will not  
hear any output even though the disc is playing

TEST SCREEN  
DVD is one of the highest quality sources ever made  
available for in-home playback of prerecorded pictures  
and sound. In order to make certain that your home  
theater system is fully optimized to take advantage of  
DVDs superb picture quality, the DVD 25 offers a  
built-in video test signal that makes it easy to calibrate  
your TV or video display for proper playback.  
TV Picture Adjustment With Test Screen  
Brightness Adjustment:  
1. Turn down the color control on your TV until the  
color bars are visible in black and white.  
Color Adjustment  
1. When the brightness and contrast are set optimally,  
turn up the color control to the level of your prefer-  
ence. Adjust to the level where the colors look  
strong but still natural, not overdone. If the color  
level is too high, depending on the TV, some of the  
bars will seem wider or the color intensity will not  
increase while the control is turned up. Then the  
color control must be reduced again. Ultimately, you  
also should test the color intensity with a video –  
e.g., pictures of natural faces, flowers, fruit and veg-  
etables and other common natural articles for an  
optimal setting of the color intensity.  
2. Adjust the contrast to the lowest level where you  
still can see all bars within the gray scale in the test  
picture separately and clearly.  
3. Adjust the brightness so that the bars in the gray  
scale are all visible. The bar furthest to the left has  
to be as black as possible rather than gray but the  
next gradation must clearly be distinct from it. All  
the bars in the gray scale should be gradually and  
evenly changing from black to white, going from left  
to right.  
Test Screen  
To utilize the built-in test screen, press the Test Button  
6
on the remote. If a disc is playing when the  
button is pressed, the playback will be paused in the  
Resume mode so that you may return to the same  
spot in the program when your adjustments are com-  
plete. When the button is pressed the test screen will  
appear, allowing the following adjustments to be made:  
2. Use the large white bar below the gray scale to  
tweak the warmth of the picture. Every viewer has a  
preference as to how the glow of the picture should  
be. Some prefer a little colder picture, some a  
warmer glow. The Tint function on your TV and the  
white bar can be used to control this. Adjust the Tint  
to the level where you feel the white color has the  
tone you prefer.  
Contrast Adjustment:  
1. Adjust the contrast on your TV until you see a bright  
white bar in the lower right corner of the screen  
and a deep-dark-black bar at the left. The optimal  
contrast setting will depend on your preference and  
the surrounding light in the TV room.  
The proper color intensity setting on your TV.  
Proper color adjustments using the color bars, which  
should be (left to right) black, white, yellow, cyan  
(turquoise), green, magenta, red, blue, black.  
The proper color transition, seen as sharp  
separation of the bars.  
2. If the brightness of the white bar no longer increases  
when the contrast is turned up or the borders of the  
white “harman/kardon” letters on top bloom (over-  
light) into the black areas (drastically decreasing the  
sharpness of the type), the contrast has been  
turned up too much. Reduce the contrast until  
these effects disappear and the video still looks  
realistic.  
The performance of the color filter in your TV  
(with “Video” signals); bar edges should show  
no vertical crawling dots.  
With the gray scale and the black/white fields below  
the color bars, the brightness and contrast of your  
screen can be adjusted.  
3. If you are watching TV with customary surrounding  
daylight, adjust the contrast so that a normal video  
picture has about the same look as the surround-  
ings in your room. That way the eye is relaxed  
when watching the TV picture. This contrast setting  
may be reduced when the surrounding light is  
dimmed, thereby usually improving the sharpness  
of a video significantly.

Important Notes on DVD Playback  
Using a DVDs Menu  
Playback Resume Feature  
The DVD 25 is capable of all the features and options  
covered by the DVD standards. However, it is up to the  
producer of a DVD disc to decide which of those  
features and functions are available on any given disc.  
For that reason, not all discs will function identically,  
and some discs will not have many of the features of  
the DVD system. For example, most current DVD discs  
do not take advantage of the multiple-angle feature.  
When you press a button and the player displays the  
Feature Prohibited” icon “ , this is an indication that  
the disc has not been programmed for that feature.  
One of the unique features of the DVD system is that  
it offers a producer the opportunity to include a wide  
range of features on a disc, including multiple-  
language tracks; subtitles in a variety of languages;  
special information such as movie trailers and cast  
information; as well as other custom-tailored  
information. In addition, producers may divide a movie  
or program into chapters that allow for quick access  
to specific parts of the program. These chapters may  
be accompanied by thumbnail pictures of a scene  
from the specific chapter to help you select the  
desired spot on the disc.  
The DVD 25 offers a “Resume” feature that is different  
from the conventional “STOP” function you may be  
used to on CD players. When the Stop Button  
5
/
I
is pressed once, the disc will stop and an  
on-screen RESUME indication will appear on the video  
screen. While the Resume feature is active, the disc’s  
position is entered into the unit’s memory so that when  
the Play Button  
back, the program will continue at the point where it  
was when the Stop Button was pressed.

is pressed to resume play-  
5
/I  
To completely stop playback, press the Stop Button  
twice.  
In addition, it is common for the producers of DVD  
discs to block the use of certain functions during only  
some parts of a disc. For example, many discs prohibit  
the use of fast-play buttons or prohibit access to the  
Chapter Menu display during the playback of copyright  
notices, studio logos, movie credits or trailers. The  
appearance of the Feature Prohibited” icon “ ,  
or the inability of certain features to operate when  
the disc itself has prohibited them, does not indicate  
a problem with the DVD 25, as these features are  
outside of the unit’s control.

l
When a disc is playing, press the Menu Button  
to pause the playback and display the disc’s menu.  
As there are no hard rules about style and contents  
for DVD menus, the way they appear on the screen  
and the information they contain will vary from one  
disc to another. However, the following general rules  
apply to most menus:  
The first menu that appears is the Main Menu,  
and you may move through the options with the  
¤/‹ › Navigation Buttons j, as the  
/
/
disc’s programming allows. The option selected  
will typically be highlighted in a certain color or  
inside an outline box.  
Zoom Feature  
The DVD 25’s advanced digital video processing cir-  
cuits include a Zoom feature that allows you to enlarge  
the image for closer examination of a particular part of  
the picture. Four steps of enlargement are available,  
and you may move the picture around the screen  
while it is enlarged to locate a specific area.

MP3 PLAYBACK  
The DVD 25 is rare among DVD players in that it is  
able to play back discs recorded with MP3 files. This  
means that you may enjoy the latest music using discs  
created in your computer through the high-quality  
audio components in your home theater system. As  
the way that MP3 files are recorded on discs differs  
from the way conventional CD audio discs are struc-  
tured, MP3 playback is somewhat different from that  
of standard CDs.  
During MP3 playback, some of the standard CD/DVD  
playback controls operate in their normal fashion:  
Programmed Playback With MP3 Discs  
The DVD 25 is capable of creating playlists up to 200  
tracks long with the MP3 files on a properly recorded  
disc. To create a playback list for MP3 titles, follow  
these steps:

by pressing the Next Button

VCD PLAYBACK  
Using the EzMenu (On-Screen Banner)  
for VCD Playback  
When playing VCD discs it is possible to access the  
disc’s features using the On-Screen Banner Display  
as shown for CD playback on page 28. Press the  
Playback Control  
VCD discs made under the Revision 2.0 specification  
will usually offer PBC playback control.  
VCD Playback  
VCD, a format that predates DVD, is based on a  
different compression format than DVD and a recording  
method that is similar to CD. Although the DVD has, for  
the most part, replaced VCD as a format, the DVD 25  
offers VCD playback so that you may play your existing  
library of VCD discs.  
The PBC Indicator I in the front display will turn on  
automatically with any VCD, when the disc is played.  
EzMenu Button  
D
on the remote to see the  
With PBC, you can select titles and navigate the disc  
as with DVDs. However, the access to some functions  
may be prohibited by the PBC playback control; in that  
case, the prohibit icon will appear on screen.  
Banner Display. Note, however, that when the PBC is  
on, some features may be not available with that VCD.  
There are two versions of the VCD format: an early  
version which is simply called “VCD” and a later  
version with Playback Control which is called “Version  
2.0” or “PBC.The DVD 25 is compatible with both  
forms of VCD, although playback will vary according  
to which version is used and the specific way in which  
the disc was created.  
When the VCD is made without PBC, the disc can be  
controlled the same as an audio CD, but direct track  
access by entering a number is not possible without  
opening the On-Screen Banner Display.  
With PBC, many discs include chapter selection menus  
that are similar to those found on DVDs. However, on  
VCD discs the disc menu (if any) is accessed and  
controlled differently than on DVDs.  
Even though VCD discs provide video, because the  
format is based on CD technology, the playback  
functions for a VCD disc are similar to CD. To play a  
VCD disc, place it in the DVD 25 as you would do  
with any other CD or DVD disc. The unit takes a few  
seconds to read the disc’s contents; the VCD Disc  
Type A and the red PBC Indicators I in the  
front-panel display will light and the disc will begin  
playing. However, keep in mind that the exact level of  
functionality for any VCD will vary widely and it is  
ultimately determined by the way the disc was created,  
not by the DVD 25, particularly if the disc has been  
created under VCD Version 2.0 with Playback Control  
(see Playback Control).  
Use of functions when the PBC is on will vary accord-  
ing to the disc type. With some VCD discs, you may  
select the Bookmark feature, but not with others. Note  
that if the disc was created with Playback Control  
(PBC) [see below] it is not possible to change track  
numbers directly.  
Play will start with the first track (which may be  
an intro), then leading to the VCD menu (if any)  
automatically.  
Depending on the disc’s functionality, some VCD discs  
allow the time display to be changed, even with PBC,  
as described for CD on page 28.  
NEXT (Skip Forward) will skip to the VCD menu  
from the intro (Track 1) directly.  
Once the menu options appear on the screen, make  
your selection by pressing the Numeric Keys  
that correspond to your desired choice. The desired  
selection will begin playing automatically.  
S
Direct number entry without any VCD menu shown  
on-screen has no effect – even when the EzMenu  
Banner is on.  
When playing VCD discs, most standard DVD/CD play-  
back controls are used, including Play, Stop, Pause,  
Resume, Track Skip Forward and Reverse, Slow  
Forward, Step Forward and Fast Forward or Reverse  
Search. The functions Slow Reverse and Step Reverse  
are not available with VCDs.  
The Menu Button

is not used for VCD playback.  
With VCDs you have the same access to detailed  
information on the disc playing or on the current player  
setting as with DVDs by pressing the Info Button

DVD LANGUAGE CODES  
The availability of specific languages for the main audio track or subtitles is dependent on the choices made by a disc’s producer. You should always consult the disc’s jacket  
for information on languages for any disc. In the case of some languages, you may be required to enter a code from the list below to access that language.
