The menu on the screen is showing an 'X'
Some DVD discs can be manufactured so that certain steps are required before
the disc can be played, or so that only limited operation is possible during
playback. When an 'X' appears on the screen the selected feature is not
possible.
The screen is showing regional code information
• Since DVD films are not normally released in all parts of the world at the
same time, all DVD players have a specific regional code. Discs can be
given a regional code. If the regional codes differ between the player and
the disc, playback is not possible.
• The regional code is shown on the label on the back of the machine.
• The regional code does not apply to recordable DVD discs.
The screen is prompting me to choose an option from the menu.
• Select the option you want using
[œ√…†]
or the number keys [0..9].
• In some cases you need to confirm with [OK].
• You can also access the menu using [DISC MENU] on the remote control.
How to access hidden information

on the screen. For some feature films this may appear after an introductory
sequence.
2 Select the option you want using
[œ√…†]
