Playing discs

The basic playback controls for playing DVD, CD, Video CD/Super VCD and WMA/MP3 discs are covered here. Further functions are detailed in chapter 5.

1If the player isn’t already on, press STANDBY/ON to switch it on.

If you’re playing a DVD or Video CD/Super VCD, also turn on your TV and make sure that it is set to the correct video input.

2 Press OPEN/CLOSE to open the disc tray.

3 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).

4 Press (play) to start playback.

If you’re playing a DVD or Video CD/Super VCD, a menu may appear. See DVD-Video disc menus on page 24 and Video CD/Super VCD PBC menus on page 25 for how to navigate these.

If you’re playing an WMA/MP3 disc, it may take a few seconds before playback starts, depending on the complexity of the file structure on the disc.

If you loaded a CD/CD-R/RW containing JPEGs, a slideshow will start. See Viewing JPEG discs on page 44 for more on playing these discs.

See also Options on page 57 if the disc contains both WMA/MP3 audio files and JPEG picture files.

5Use the MASTER VOLUME – / + button (or the front panel VOLUME buttons) to adjust the volume.
