Playback procedure

1 Press TV/DVD to select DVD mode.

2 Place the disc in the disc

slot with the label side facing forward. (If the disc has a label.) Hold the disc

without touching either of its surfaces, align it with the guides, and place it in

position.

3 On the screen, “ ” changes to “Loading” and then playback will commence.

• A menu screen may appear on the TV screen, if the disc has a menu feature. In this case, press ▲, ▼, ◀, ▶ or ENTER to operate a menu feature.

4 Press STOP to end playback.

• The unit can record where you stop a video, but it depends on a disc you are using. Press PLAY to resume a playback point. The unit can store a memory of stopped point of last five discs that you have played. When one of these discs is next loaded, you can resume playback from where you stopped playing last time.

• If you press STOP again (“Resume off” appears on the screen) the unit will clear the stopped point.

• You cannot save a stopped point for some discs. If a number of discs played and stored in the unit exceeds five, a new memory will overwrite the old stored memory.

5 Press (EJECT).

Remove the disc and then press POWER.

The unit turns off.

• When you eject the disc, you may hear mechanism noise, but it is not malfunction.

NOTE:

• If a non-compatible disc is loaded, “Can’t play disc” or “Incompatible disc region number Can’t play disc” will appear on the TV screen according to the type of loaded disc. In this case, check your disc again (see page 10).

• Some discs may take a minute or so to start playback.

• A prohibition message “Depending on the disc, this operation may be prohibited” or “This operation can’t be performed” may appear at the screen. This message means either the feature you tried is not available on the disc, or the unit cannot access the feature at this time. This does not indicate a problem with the unit.

• When you set a single-faced disc label downwards (i.e. the wrong way up) “Loading” will appear on the display and then “Can’t play disc” will be displayed.

• Some playback operations of DVDs may be intentionally fixed by software producers. Since this unit plays DVDs according to the disc content recorded, some playback features may not be available. Also refer to the instructions supplied with the DVDs.
