General Explanation

This manual gives the basic instructions for operating the DVD Player. Some DVDs require specific operation or allow only limited operation during playback. When this

occurs, the symbol appears on the TV screen, indicating that the operation is not permitted by the DVD Player or is not available on the disc.

Remote control operation

Unless stated, all operations can be carried out with the remote control. Always point the remote control directly at the player, making sure there are no obstructions between the remote and the player.

Corresponding keys on the front panel of the player can also be used.

On-screen display operation

A number of operations can be carried out via the on- screen display on the screen. Access the on-screen display by pressing the DISPLAY button on the remote control.

Pressing DISPLAY again will clear the on-screen display from the screen.

Press 3 or 4 to select an item; the selected item will be highlighted.

Press 1 or 2 to change the setting of an item. For some functions, the setting will be registered immediately; for others, OK must be pressed.
