This is an example of a 2-sided disc. The title is in the center.

The DVD Player reads the disc’s 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.

•The DVD Player’s main menu appears on the screen. Press the PLAY/OK button on the remote.

When you stop playing a disc, the player remembers where you stopped. When you start playing the disc again, the DVD Player picks up where you left off. To begin the title over, press STOP twice.

Using a Disc Menu

A disc is capable of having an on-screen menu that is separate from the DVD player’s menu system and on- screen information banners. The disc menu might only contain a list of the titles and chapters, or it may allow you to change features such as language and playback settings.

Note: “Default settings” are the settings that the player will default to each time it is turned on.

Any settings you change with the disc menu only temporarily override the default settings.

Use the Setup Menu of the DVD player to change the default settings (See chapter 5).

Although the content and operation of disc menus varies from disc to disc, the following example will give you an idea of what to expect.

1. While the disc is playing, press MENU. The disc menu appears.

An example of a disc menu. Menus on discs vary.

Tip

Many discs skip the disc menu and start playing automatically. To access the disc menu when you’re playing a disc, press MENU on the remote.
