Using Different Menus
Each disc is programmed with different features.There are three separate types of menus that you can use to access features:
•The DVD’s Disc menu – The Disc menu is part of each disc and is separate from the DVD/ VCR’s menu.The contents of each Disc menu vary according to how the disc was authored and what features are included.
To make the Disc menu appear, press the MENU button while the disc is playing.
•The DVD/VCR’s Info Display – 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. It’s turned on and off with the INFO button on the remote.The Info Display icons change based on the type of disc you’re playing. Go to page 45 for more information.
•The DVD/VCR menu – If you’re playing a disc, press STOP (the DVD/VCR’s menu appears automatically).
Remember:A feature will only work if the disc was programmed with that feature. For example, if you choose subtitles on the Info Display, the subtitles will only appear if the disc was created with subtitles. If a menu or icon is “grayed out” it means that item (or feature) isn’t available.
