Instead of navigating by jumping from title to title or chapter to

chapter, you may navigate the old fashion way by shuttling forward

and rewinding. Thanks to DVD technology, these navigational speeds

CyberLink PowerDVD

are unparalleled in speeds as compared to VHS. Please refer to

Control Wheel on p.16 for more information.

1. Click along the outside perimeter for shuttling

at various speeds during playback. The green

mark will indicate the speed.

2. Designated points on the left side disclose

reverse speeds of 0.5x, 0.75x, 1x, 1.5x, 2x, 3x,

4x, 8x, 16x, 32x. The center point is Pause,

while the right side disclose forward speeds of 0.5x, 0.75x, 1x,

1.5x, 2x, 3x, 4x, 8x, 16x, 32x.

3. You can also access the the shuttling commands in Dock mode

by clicking Open Speed Control (pic) icon. The speed control

bar will be displayed with designated points on the bar. The

lower half of the bar discloses reverse speeds of 0.5x, 0.75x, 1x,

1.5x, 2x, 3x, 4x, 8x, 16x, 32x. The center point is Pause, while the

upper half of the bar discloses forward speeds of 0.5x, 0.75x, 1x,

1.5x, 2x, 3x, 4x, 8x, 16x, 32x.

4. Click Close Speed Control (pic) icon to hide the speed control

bar.

Note: The slow motion speed of 0.5X and -0.5X are located

between the pause and 1X (play) and -1X. Click in a very precise

fashion!

Note: You can hear audio from 0.5X to 2X playback speed

without pitch distortion. This feature is especially useful for

language learning. With the combination of A-B repeat and dual-

subtitle technologies, PowerDVD offers a complete language

learning platform.

Step Frame Functions

Step Frame FunctionsStep Frame Functions

These functions are available anytime.

1. During playback, click Step Forward to go to the next frame

or for the previous frame, click Step Backward .

2. After you have clicked on any of the Step functions, playback

will be paused.

You can jump to a specific time in a movie, video, or song in order to

begin playback from that point.

1. Right-click the navigational slider. The Time Search dialog box

opens.

2. Enter the time code (in hours:minutes:seconds), then click OK.

function is only available during playback.

During playback, click to switch among available subtitles.

When playing a video file (not on a CD or DVD), PowerDVD

searches for a subtitle file in the same directory where the video file is

1. During playback, set point A by pressing AB Repeat at the

beginning of the segment you would like to repeat.

would like the segment to end. The segment will now repeat

instantly and loop continuously.

navigational slider, shuttle, or jumping to the next or previous

chapters).

computer. Be sure to look for the Karaoke Logo on the DVD title

package.

remaining menus are similar to the menu items for DVD

titles.

•To turn on subtitles, go to the Subtitles Menu and select one.

•The Audio Menu controls the audio language. Go there to set

audio settings.

Note: Sometimes, DVD titles will not allow you to select menus

other than the Title Menu. Users will have to directly go to the Title

Menu of the DVD itself and access the settings there if this is the

case.

off. This function is optimal if you interrupted playback by

every cell.

3. Click once on the frame that represents the cell in order to begin

“Chapters” are not used but instead replaced with “Programs”

and “Cells”.

of navigating between titles and chapters.

2. The red pointer signifies which chapter you are playing

currently. Simply select a chapter and click Go To or Close to

CLPV feature is only available in full screen mode and is for DVD

titles with a widescreen aspect ratio (i.e. optimal with 16:9 on a 4:3

between Smart Stretch, Fit to Screen and Keep Subtitles.

The Pan&Scan feature is only available in full screen mode and is for

DVD titles with a widescreen aspect ratio (i.e. optimal with 16:9 on a

Region Code Settings

Most of the DVD titles in today's markets are governed by a regional

code that divides the world into six separate regions. This ensures

maximization of revenues for motion picture studios' theatrical and

home releases, which times and dates vary from region to region.

1. Upon inserting your DVD, note the dialog box.

2. Click OK. After the region has been set, this dialog box will no

longer prompt you unless an encoded DVD title from another

region is inserted.

Note: PowerDVD will only allow you to set the regional settings five

times until the regional code is fixed. Subsequently, playback of

DVD titles will be specific to one region. Some DVD titles may not

be region-specific.

Chapter 4: Configuration

This configuration is for users who are searching for pertinent

information regarding all aspects of their DVD entertainment. Click

Configuration and then the Information tab.

The region code for the player and the DVD is displayed here along

with the DVD-ROM drive designation.

•Video Mode: Refer to Video Configuration on p.69.

•Display Mode: N/A is displayed during stop mode. Usually

DirectDraw is displayed if hardware was set up properly.

•FourCC Code: FourCC Code is a Windows' designation for

the digital video format standard. Often YV12, YUY2, UYVY,

MCS3, MCAM, IMC3, etc. is displayed and may include

other formats. After installing PowerDVD, the diagnostic

program will automatically determine the best format.

•Surface Type: The default commonly used that supports

display captions is “overlay”, “Hardware Video Accelerator”

or “Hardware Video Accelerator (DxVA)”. Occasionally, it

may display “off-screen”. It is recommended that you either

lower your screen resolution, reduce color depth, or reinstall

Microsoft DirectX to make overlay mode available for

optimal performance.

Note: We recommend using DDraw compliant display cards to

utilize the Overlay feature.

These attributes outline the statistics of the current DVD or other

media types. Some of these attributes will be explained briefly.

•The Video compression mode for DVD is MPEG-2 or MPEG-

1 and for VCD, MPEG-1. SVCD may be either.

•The first figure for TV system is the number of horizontal

lines. The second is number of fields (e.g. 525/60 is standard

for NTSC television signals).

•The Aspect Ratio depends on the DVD title. 16:9 is the ratio

for most widescreen titled DVDs and widescreen televisions

nowadays.

•The Display Mode is read from your DVD title.

•Source picture resolution is the size of the resolution. The

DVD standard is 720x480 (NTSC) or 720x576 (PAL).

•Frame Rate is number of frames per second. 30 is the

standard for NTSC and 25 for PAL (MPEG-1 and 2).

•Source picture letterboxed denotes if DVD title is letterboxed

(4:3 screen ratio).

•Bitrate is the maximum bitrate size for the entire movie.

•The Audio Coding mode is the decoding mode, for example,

Dolby Digital (AC-3).

•The Sampling Rate determines the sound frequency range;

the higher, the better the quality.

•The Audio application mode displays the audio mode of

some DVD titles (such as karaoke or Surround sound titles),

but is not available for most DVDs.

•Number of Audio Channels calculates the total number of

audio channels for a given DVD title.

•Bitrate is naturally a lot smaller in size as compared to video

here and is measured in kilobits per second as opposed to

megabits per second for video.

•Number of Audio Streams calculates the total number of

streams (i.e. languages, commentaries or karaoke) for a given

DVD title. Each stream will have a different total for audio

channels. For e.g., some streams may support Dolby Digital

5.1 (6 channels total), while some may just be your basic two

channels.

•For the Number of Subtitles, there is a tally of the number of

subtitles available.
