Introduction
About this owner’s manual
This owner’s manual explains the basic instructions of
this DVD/VCR. Some DVD video discs are produced in
a manner that allows specific or limited operation during
playback. As such, the DVD/VCR may not respond to all
operating commands. This is not a defect in the DVD/
VCR. Refer to instruction notes of discs.
The following symbol may appear on the TV screen
during operation.
It means that the operation is not permitted by the DVD/
VCR or the disc.
For example, sometimes it is unable to stop the
playback of copyright message of the disc when the
STOP ( ) button is pressed. Alternatively, this symbol
may also indicate that the feature is not available for the
disc.
