Playing Discs

The basic playback controls for playing DVD, CD, SACD, Video CD and MP3/WMA discs are covered here. Further functions are detailed in the next chapter.

For details on playing JPEG picture discs, see “Viewing a JPEG Slideshow” on page 41.

Important:

Throughout this manual, the term “DVD” means DVD-Video, DVD-Audio and DVD-R/ RW. If a function is specific to a particular kind of DVD disc, it is specified.

Load a disc.

 

 

Load a disc with the label side facing up,

 

using the disc tray guide to align the disc

 

(if you’re loading a double-sided DVD

 

disc, load it with the side you want to

 

play face down).

Note:

You may find with some DVD discs that some play- back controls don’t work in certain parts of the disc. This is not a malfunction.

Resume and Last Memory

With the DVD-Video, Video CD and Audio CD, when you stop playback of a disc, RESUME is shown in the display indicating that you can resume playback again from that point.

If the disc tray is not opened, the next time you start playback the display shows RESUME and playback resumes from the resume point. (If you want to clear the resume point, press (stop) while RESUME is dis- played.)

If you take a VCD out of the player after stopping play- back, the last play position is stored in memory. If the next disc you load is the same one, the display shows LAST MEM and playback will resume. For DVD-Video discs (except VR mode DVD-RW), the player stores the play position of the last five discs. When one of these discs is next loaded, you can resume playback.

Notes:

The Last Memory function doesn’t work with VR for- mat DVD-RW, DVD-Audio or SACD discs.

If you don’t need the Last Memory function when you stop a disc, you can press OPEN/CLOSE to stop playback and open the disc tray.
