Page 31

Many functions of the DVD 37 operate the same way for CD playback as for DVD play; however, there are some important differences. When a CD is loaded, the DVD 37 will automatically display the Player Information menu. Status banners are not available during CD play. A greater variety of playback options are available during play, including programmed playlists. These and other features unique to CD play are described in this section.
