Unsupported DVD Features

The DVD standard offers many special features,
including multiple soundtracks, subtitles, camera
angles, and so on. However, not all discs employ all of
these features. When you attempt to use a feature that is not used
by the current disc, for example, you press the remote control-
ler’s [AUDIO] button while playing a disc with only one
soundtrack, this icon will appear onscreen, indicating that the
feature is not supported by the current disc.
Similarly, if a disc uses features that are not supported
by the DV-CP701, for example, special interactive
menu functions, this icon will appear onscreen, indicat-
ing that the feature is not supported by the DV-CP701.
