Welcome!

This Digital Video Disc Player will allow you to enjoy better picture quality, clearer sound, and endless playback features available on Digital Video Discs (DVDs). Expanding technology allows you to add options to your viewing - watch a director’s cut of a movie, listen to the producer’s comments, or play your favorite scene over and over again. Hear a movie in different languages, or listen only to the soundtrack. The possibil- ities are limited only by your choices and the materials available on the DVD.

Of course, you can listen to your favorite Audio Compact Discs on this DVD Player as well. Determine the order in which you want to hear the songs, or play the Disc repeatedly - all while seeing the status of the CD on your television.

We hope you enjoy this DVD Player and learn to use all of its features. To get the most out of the DVD Player, read this owner’s manual carefully. It will describe how you can access all the features listed below.
