Function: This button is used to start or resume playback of the video/audio material on the disc.

Explanation: Pressing this button has different effects, depending on the active mode of the player:

If this button is pressed while the disc tray door is opening or when the door is open, the player closes the door. After the door is closed, the player enters Park Mode and then determines whether a disc is in the drawer. If there is no disc in the drawer, the player does nothing. If there is a disc in the drawer, it proceeds through the operations described in Park Mode.

In Park Mode the player determines whether or not there is a disc in the drawer. If there is no disc, the player does nothing. If there is a disc, the player spins up the disc. When Spin Up Mode ends, the player enters Random Access Mode and begins playing the disc.

In Random Access Mode , the player starts or resumes playing the disc.

When a search is in progress and the PLAY button is pressed, the player starts playing the disc after the search is completed.
