If a title menu appears on the TV screen

The DVD video has a title menu, or the VIDEO CD is equipped with the PBC (Playback Control) function. Follow steps 2 and 3 in “Locating a title using the title menu” on page 25.

For details about the PBC function, see “About VIDEO CDs” on page 9. To start playback with or without using the PBC function, see page 59.

If a sound selection menu appears on the TV screen

See “Enjoying the Sound Effects” on page 34 for details of the sound systems. Select the appropriate sound using / //, then press ENTER (see the illustration of the remote controller on the opposite page).

For example, if you need to select either “DTS” or “Stereo,” select “DTS” since the DVD Receiver is able to reproduce DTS (Digital Theater System) Surround sound.

If the sound is not reproduced from the beginning of the disc

See the first note in the lower right corner of the opposite page.
