•Player banners – while a disc is playing back you can display or remove banners using the INFO key on the remote control unit.The banners appear in the form of a succession of icons at the top of the screen.
•Player menus – your DTH 8000 has menus enabling you to use functions that are not accessible using the remote control unit keys.The player menu is displayed when the DTH 8000 is not playing a disc (in STOP mode).
Note: settings will only function if the corresponding function has been provided by the editor. For instance, if you select the subtitle icon in the banner, subtitles will only appear if they actually exist on the disc. Check the sleeve to see what subtitles are provided. If a menu or icon appears in “grey” it means that the function is not available.
