Chapter 3: Playing Discs

Regional Coding

Both the TV/DVD unit and the discs are coded by region. These regional codes must match in order for the disc to play. If the codes donÕt match, the disc wonÕt play. This unitÕs code is region 1.

Using Different Menus

Each disc is programmed with different features. There are three separate menu paths that you can use to access features:

¥The Disc menu Ð The disc menu is part of each disc and is separate from the DVDÕs menu system. The contents of each disc menu vary according to how the disc was authored and what features are included. The disc menu is turned on and off (while the disc is playing) with the DISC MENU button on the remote.

¥The DVD’s Info Display Ð The Info Display appears as icons across the top of the screen when a disc is playing. It can only be accessed while you are playing a disc. ItÕs turned on and off with the INFO button on the remote.

¥The DVD’s menu system Ð The DVDÕs menu system is accessed only when a disc isnÕt playing. It appears automatically when the STOP button is pressed.

A feature will only work if the disc was programmed with that feature. If a menu item is Ògrayed outÓ it means that item isnÕt available.

Loading and Playing Discs

Your TV/DVD unit plays DVD discs, Video CD discs, Audio CD discs, mp3 discs, CD-R discs, and CDs with JPEG files. Before you load a disc, make sure that it is compatible with the player. The following discs CANNOT be used with this player:

¥Laserdiscs, CD-I, CD-ROM (computer-only discs), CD-RW, DVD-ROM, Discs recorded using other broadcast standards (i.e. PAL or SECAM)

To Load and Play a Disc

To put the TV/DVD in DVD mode and play a disc, press the DVD button on the remote control.

1.Press the OPEN¥CLOSE button on the front of the TV/DVD. The disc tray opens.

2.Place a disc gently into the tray with the discÕs label facing up (double-sided discs have content on both sides, so you can place either side up).

3.Press the OPEN¥CLOSE or PLAY button. The disc tray closes.

The TV/DVD reads the discÕs table of contents, and then one of three things happens depending on how the disc was programmed:

¥The disc starts playing.

¥The disc menu appears on the screen. One of the options will start disc play. Highlight that option and press OK on the remote.

¥The DVDÕs main menu appears on the screen. Highlight the Play option and press OK on the remote.

The unit remembers the five most recent discs (DVD or Video CD only) played and begins playback at the approximate point which the disc was last stopped. To resume normal playback, press the DISC MENU button and choose PLAY from the Disc main menu.
