About this manual

 

 

This manual gives the basic instructions for operating the

 

DVD player. Some DVDs require specific operation or

 

allow only limited operation during playback which may not

 

respond to all operating commands. When this occurs, the

 

symbol Ä appears on the TV screen, indicating that the

 

operation is not permitted by the player or the disc.

Remote control operation

Unless stated, all operations can be carried out with the remote control. Always point the remote control directly at the player, making sure there are no obstructions in the path of the infrared beam.

Corresponding keys on the front panel of the player can also be used.
