Basic operating instructions

Getting started

2.Place the disc on the tray, label side facing up.

3.Press the Play/Pause button. The tray will automatically close and playback will begin.

For CDs playback will begin straight away at track 1. For DVDs, normally the disc will go to the Title Menu which is the main menu recorded on the DVD itself. This is where various disc options will be presented on screen depending on the disc.

DVDs are normally split into one or more Titles, each subdivided into Chapters. Each Title may also have alternative soundtracks and subtitles available. From the Title Menu it is normally possible to start playback of the main film, go directly to different chapters or access special features.

Examples of special features are alternative soundtracks (Stereo or DD

5.1for instance, perhaps DTS 5.1, also commentaries and different language versions of the soundtrack) and subtitles. Also more than one title may be available (different versions of the film or making-of featurettes for instance). These features are encoded on the disc and the options presented are entirely disc dependant.

Move around the options using the Navigation arrows ( ), select the option that starts the film playing in the version you want and press Enter.
