Chapter 5: DVD Menu System

The DVD Player Menu System

The DVD player menu system is not the same as the disc menu or the Info Display. The DVD player menu comes up when there is no disc playing. If you are playing a disc, press STOP on the remote control to stop playback and bring up the DVD player menu. If a screensaver is on the screen, press STOP or CLEAR. (Remember that you have to put the remote in DVD mode by pressing the DVD button if itÕs in VCR mode.)

Use the arrow buttons on the remote to highlight different menu items. Use the OK button to select a menu that is highlighted.

Throughout the menu system, text appears at the bottom of the screen to explain what to do.

To return to a previous menu, press the left arrow button.

The Play Menu

The Play menu doesnÕt have submenus or options like the other man menu options. Instead, the status changes: if youÕre playing a disc and access the main menu, the menu appears as Resume Play; if you havenÕt started playing the disc, the title of the disc appears next to the Play menu.

The Play Mode Menu

Discs are formatted to play chapters (or tracks on audio CDs) in a certain (standard) order. If youÕd like to play chapters in a different order, you can use the Play Mode menu. You must have a disc in the player with the disc tray closed in order to access all of the Play Mode items.

Note: All of the Play Mode options, expect for Program Play, can be accessed during playback via the DVD player’s Info Display (see page 20).

The DVD PlayerÕs default play mode is Start. The chapters and tracks on a disc play in the order listed on the disc, starting with chapter (track) 1.

This versatility allows for playback of a broad range of media, ensuring users can enjoy their media library without restrictions. Moreover, many models support both PAL and NTSC formats, making them ideal for international users or traveling individuals.

The ease of use is another significant characteristic of the RCA DVD/VCR. Most models come equipped with a straightforward remote control that simplifies navigation, along with on-screen menus that facilitate user interaction. Common features such as fast forward, rewind, and programmable recording make it convenient for consumers to manage their viewing experience.

RCA’s attention to design is also notable. The unit is generally compact and blends well with modern home entertainment systems, ensuring it complements LCD televisions and other devices without taking up excessive space. Additionally, the RCA DVD/VCR combo typically includes multiple inputs and outputs, allowing for connections to various devices like game consoles and streaming boxes.

In conclusion, the RCA DVD/VCR combo stands as a testament to the evolution of home entertainment.
