Using a DVD’s Menu
One of the unique features of the DVD system is that it offers a producer the opportunity to include a wide range of features on a disc, including multi-
When a disc is playing, press the
Disc Menu Button to pause the playback and display the disc’s menu. As there are no hard rules about style and content for DVD menus, the way they appear on the screen and the information they contain will vary from one disc to another. However, the following general rules apply to most menus:
•The first menu that appears is the Main Menu, and you may move through the options with the Navigation ⁄/¤/‹/› Buttons fh, as the disc’s programming allows. The option selected will typi- cally be highlighted in a certain color or inside an outline box.
•To select a highlighted option, which may either play a portion of the disc or move to a submenu, press the Enter Button i or Play Button 5B.
•On some discs, when you select the DVD menu during the playback of a movie, the disc will return to the point in the program at which the menu was selected by offering a “Play Movie” option. Press the Enter Button i or Play Button
5B to resume play. However, not all discs offer this feature, and selecting the menu while playing a movie may mean that you will have to go back either to the beginning of the program or to the start of a chapter. This feature is out of the control of the DVD280, as it is set by the disc’s internal programming.
