Basic playback

This section shows you how to use your recorder for playback of discs (DVD, CD, etc.), and for playback of video from the HDD. More playback features, such as repeat and program 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.
