•Laserdiscs

•CD-I, CD-ROM, CD-R, DVD-ROM

•MiniDiscs

•Discs recorded using other broadcast standards (i.e. PAL or

To Load and Play a Disc

Make sure you’ve connected your DVD Player correctly (see “Setup and Connections”) and turned it on (press ON•OFF on the player or press the DVD button on the remote control).

1.Press the OPEN•CLOSE button on the front of the DVD Player. The disc tray opens.

2.Place a disc gently into the tray with the disc’s label facing up (double-sided discs have a label on both sides near the center).

3.Press the OPEN•CLOSE or PLAY button. The disc tray closes.

The DVD Player reads the disc’s table of contents, and then one of three things happens depending on how the disc was “authored”—or programmed:

•The disc starts playing.

•The disc menu appears on the screen.

•The DVD Player’s main menu appears on the screen. Press PLAY to begin playing the disc.

An example of a disc menu. The menus on discs vary because the disc menu is created by the disc’s author.

4.Press STOP to stop playback.

Accessing the Disc Menu

Many discs skip the disc menu and start playing automatically.To access the disc menu when you’re playing a disc, press MENU on the remote.

Resume Feature

When you stop playing a disc, the player remembers where you stopped.When you start playing the disc again, the DVD Player picks up where you left off (unless the disc is removed or the player is unplugged).

If you press the STOP button twice accidentally, the resume feature won’t work.
