DVD Disc Menus...

Some explanations in this manual describe DVD disc menus. DVD manufacturers set the menus, which vary among DVDs. Not all DVDs have menus. If the DVD has a menu, access it by pressing DISC MENU on the remote control.

Details are on page 52.

Setup Menus...

Some instructions explain how to use the setup menus of the TV/VCR/DVD.There are two setup menus: one for the TV/VCR features while the unit is in TV/VCR mode, and one for the disc features while the unit is in DVD mode.Access the setup menus by pressing SETUP on the remote control.

While in TV/VCR mode, you can select only the TV/VCR SETUP menu.

In DVD mode, you can select both the TV/VCR SETUP menu and the SETUP menu for the unit’s DVD player. Press SETUP once to select the TV/VCR SETUP menu. Press SETUP twice to get to the DVD player’s SETUP menu.

Even if you set a DVD feature in the unit’s SETUP menu, it will not be available if the current disc does not include that feature.

Available Disc Features...

All features described in this manual are not available on every disc. If the feature is not available on the disc, you cannot use the TV/VCR/DVD to make it available.

An “X” will appear in the top right corner of the screen if you try to access a feature that is not available.

For example, some features are available only during playback, while others are available only if playback is stopped. If you cannot access a feature, try stopping or starting playback, then try the feature again.
