This manual gives the basic instructions for operating the

respond to all operating commands. When this occurs, the

 

symbol Ä appears on the TV screen, indicating that the

 

operation is not permitted by the player or the disc.

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 in the path of the infrared beam.

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

Menu bar operation

A number of operations can be carried out via the menu bar on the screen.The menu bar can be accessed by pressing the cursor keys on the remote control.

Pressing SYSTEM MENU while the menu bar is displayed will clear the menu bar from the screen.

The selected item will be highlighted and the appropriate cursor keys to operate will be displayed below the icon.
