Understanding the Individual DVD Disc Menu
Most DVD movie discs will automatically display either a “Title Menu” or a “Root Menu” before the actual movie begins to play. When these menus appear at the beginning of a movie the “PLAY” or “PLAY MOVIE” command will usually be highlighted. If you press the PLAY or ENTER button on the remote the menu screen disappears and the movie begins to play.
However these menu screens also allow you to perform other functions such as “Language Selection”, “Scene Selection”, “Audio Setup”, “Subtitles”, view “Extra Features”, etc. The actual options that may be contained within the Title Menu or the Root Menu will vary from disc to disc.
When the “Title Menu” (sometimes called “Main Menu”) or “Root Menu” appears at the beginning of a movies, use the Navigation buttons ( / / / ) to “highlight” or select a particular option and then press the ENTER button. For example, if the menu contains a Scene Selection option, and you select that option, you will usually be presented with a menu of scenes so that you can begin playback at a specific scene. Use the Navigation buttons to “highlight” the scene you want and then press the ENTER button to begin playback on that scene.
Once the movie has begun you can return to these Menu screens by pressing the appropriate buttons on the remote control as follows:
Using the Title Menu
1.Press the TITLE MENU button to return to the Title Menu (or Main Menu). “TITLE MENU” will appear on the screen for a few seconds and then the Title Menu or Main Menu will appear.
2.Use the Navigation buttons ( / / / ) to “highlight” or select a particular option and then press the ENTER button.
Notes:
•If you see the ‘Prohibited’ icon when you press the TITLE MENU button that means that you cannot access the Title Menu on this disc, or this disc does not include a Title Menu.
•Depending on the disc you may also be able to use the number buttons to select a particular scene or chapter directly.
•On some DVD discs if you press the TITLE MENU button playback will restart from the beginning of the disc.
Using the Root Menu
1.Press the DVD MENU button to return to the Root Menu. “ROOT MENU” will appear on the screen for a few seconds and then the Root Menu or Main Menu will appear.
2.Use the Navigation buttons ( / / / ) to “highlight” or select a particular option and then press the ENTER button.
Notes:
•If you see the ‘Prohibited’ icon when you press the DVD MENU button that means that you cannot access the Root Menu on the disc, or this disc does not include a Root Menu.
•Depending on the disc you may also be able to use the number buttons to select a particular scene or chapter directly.
Using the Audio Menu
On some DVD discs you can access and change the Audio Setup during playback without returning to the Audio Setup Page in the Setup Menu.
Press the AUDIO MENU button on the remote control. If the disc allows this function you will see a display at the top of the screen which will show the current audio language and the type of audio output such as “5.1” (Dolby Digital), 2CH (Stereo), etc. Continue pressing this button until the screen shows the desired language and audio output. The change will be made automatically when the display disappears.
Note: If you see the ‘Prohibited’ icon when you press the AUDIO MENU button that means you cannot access the Audio Setup menu during playback on this disc.
