Inserting a Disc

A disc drawer slides out to accept a disc and retracts for playback. Place the disc in the drawer label-side up and program side down. Make sure the disc is properly centered in the tray. The OPEN/CLOSE button on the front panel or the remote opens or closes the drawer.

Playing a Disc

By default, DVDs either begin playing automati- cally or display a start-up menu as soon as the disc is inserted. This auto-play feature can be disabled. See DVD Playback in the Setup section of this manual for information.

The PLAY / button usually starts play from the beginning of the disc, except after the PAUSE , button has been pressed. In this case, the disc will resume playing from the current location.

The second press of the STOP . button clears the memorized position.
