About other displays (menus and banners)

Depending on the operating mode, your recorder will display different interfaces on your TV screen to let you access settings, select functions or obtain information.

DVD disc menu

Each DVD video disc offers menus and for which the presentation and organisation depends on the disc’s editor.The disc menu is displayed on the screen when a DVD disc is loaded and it starts to play. Depending on the discs, you may display the main menu of the disc being played with the MENU key.

Note: settings will only function if the corresponding function has been provided by the editor. For instance, if you select the subtitle icon in the banner, subtitles will only appear if they actually exist on the disc. Check the sleeve to see what subtitles are provided. Check the jacket to see whether there are any subtitles. If a menu or icon appears in “grey” it means that the function is not available.

Banners during playback

While a disc is playing back you can display or remove banners using the INFO key on the remote control unit.The banners appear in the form of a succession of icons at the top of the screen.
