Basic playback

This section shows you how to use your recorder for playback of discs (DVD, CD, etc.). More playback features, such as repeat play, are covered in the next chapter.

Important

Throughout this manual, the term ‘DVD’ means playback-only DVD-Video discs and DVD-R/RW. If a function is specific to a particular kind of DVD disc, it is specified.

Some DVD-Video discs don’t allow certain playback controls to operate at certain points in the disc. This is not a malfunction.

VR mode discs recorded on another DVD recorder may contain a PlayList of titles. These can be found after the Original titles on the disc. See also Using the Disc Navigator to browse the contents of a disc on page 26.
