Using a DVD’s Menu
One of the unique features of the DVD system is that it offers a producer the opportunity to include a wide range of features on a disc, including multiple- language tracks; subtitles in a variety of languages; special information such as movie trailers and cast information; as well as other
When a disc is playing, press the Menu Button l to pause the playback and display the disc’s menu. As there are no hard rules about style and contents for DVD menus, the way they appear on the screen and the information they contain will vary from one disc to another. However, the following general rules apply to most menus:
•The first menu that appears is the Main Menu, and you may move through the options with the
⁄ / ¤/‹ / › Navigation Buttons j, as the disc’s programming allows. The option selected will typically be highlighted in a certain color or inside an outline box.
•To select a highlighted option, which may either play a portion of the disc or move to a submenu, press the Enter Button j or Play Button 3 /G.
•On some discs, when you select the DVD menu during the playback of a movie, the disc will return to the point in the program where the menu was selected by offering a “Play Movie” option. Press the Enter Button j or Play Button 3 /G to resume play. However, not all discs offer this feature, and selecting the menu while playing a movie may mean that you will either have to go back to the beginning of the program or the start of a chapter. This feature is out of the control of the DVD 101, as it is set by the disc’s internal programming.
Important Notes on DVD Playback

However, it is up to the producer of a DVD disc to decide which of those features and functions are available on any given disc. For that reason, not all discs will function identi- cally, and some discs will not have many of the fea- tures of the DVD system. For example, most current DVD discs do not take advantage of the

an indication that the disc has not been programmed for that feature.
In addition, it is common for the producers of DVD discs to block the use of certain functions during only some parts of a disc. For example, many discs prohibit the use of

or the inability of certain features to operate when the disc itself has prohibited them, does not indicate a problem with the DVD 101, as these features are outside of the unit’s control.
Zoom Feature
The DVD 101’s advanced digital video processing cir- cuits include a Zoom feature that allows you to enlarge the image for closer examination of a particular part of the picture. Four steps of enlargement are available, and you may move the picture around the screen while it is enlarged to locate a specific area.
•To use the Zoom feature, press the Zoom Button M while a disc is playing or paused. Each press of the button will increase the
•Some discs are created in a way that prevents the Zoom feature from operating. In addition, the Zoom feature will not operate on disc menus and may not operate on subtitles.
