Chapter 5: Using the DVD Menu
The DVD’s Menu System
The DVD’s menu system is not the same as the disc menu or the Info Display. The DVD’s main 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’s main menu.
Press OK to clear the screen and resume play.
Selecting Random Play plays the disc’s tracks in random order.
When the Title box is highlighted, enter the title number you want to place in the list.
The Play/Resume Play Option
To get to the DVD’s main menu, press STOP on the remote control. The first item in the main menu is the Play/ Resume Play option. If there isn’t a disc in the TV/DVD, the option reads Play with the prompt Insert Disc to the right. If there is a disc in the TV/DVD and it was previously playing, the option reads Resume Play and the name of the disc is displayed on the right.
Any time you stop playback, you will be returned to the DVD’s main menu, and the Play option will read Resume Play. To resume play, highlight the option and press OK, or press the PLAY button on the remote.

Selecting a Play Mode
The first three options in the Play Mode menu determine in what order the titles or tracks will play on a disc.
Standard Play: plays the disc’s titles and chapters in their default order (i.e., chapter 1 of Title 1 plays first, then chapter 2 of Title 1, etc.)
Random Play: plays the chapters of each title in random order.
Program Play: Plays the chapters on the disc in the order you have programmed (you must select Edit Program and set up the order in which you want the tracks on the disc to play).
