To open or return to the DVD or Video CD menu screen

Although this differs depending on the disc, pressing MENU, TOP MENU, or RETURN during DVD playback or RETURN during Video CD playback displays the menu screen. Refer to the DVD or Video CD disc jacket and accompanying documentation for more information.

To navigate a menu screen

Although individual DVD titles may differ, when a menu screen is displayed, use the cursor buttons (2/ 3/5/°) and ENTER on the remote control. The cursor buttons are used to move around the options on the screen and ENTER is used for selection.

Occasionally, the number buttons may also be used to make selections. If this is possible, using number buttons serves to directly select an option on a menu screen. Only number buttons are used to make selections on Video CD menu screens.

When the Video CD has more than one menu, pages can be advanced to or returned to with NEXT ¢ or PREV 4.
