Explanation: The operation performed when the PLAY button is pressed differs depending on the active mode of the player:

While the disc tray door is opening or when the door is open If this button is pressed while the 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 below.

In Park Mode In Park Mode the player determines whether or not there is a disc in the disc tray. If there is no disc, the player does not operate. If there is a disc, the player enters Spin Up Mode and spins-up the disc. When Spin Up Mode ends, the player enters Random Access Mode and begins playing the disc.

In Random Mode (when search is not in progress) - The player starts playing disc.

During a search - After the search ends, the player starts playing the disc.

NOTE: Audio is not squelched while the disc is playing. When the lead-out area is reached during normal play, the player automatically spins down the disc, enters Park Mode and waits for one of several specific instructions — to reject the disc by pressing the OPEN/CLOSE button on the front of the player, to play the disc again by pressing PLAY on the front of the player or on the remote control, or to turn off the player by pressing the Power-OFF button on the front of the player.

If the “Repeat Side” Function has been set to ON, the player automatically searches to the beginning of the disc and plays it again when lead-out is encountered. See Section 2.4 Function Switches, page 2-13.
