Note

DVD video disc provides high resolution pictures and a lot of information. Because of this, you may notice some fine picture noises on TV screen, which you have never seen with regular broadcast TV programme. While the amount of noise depends on the TV you use with the recorder, you should generally reduce the sharpness adjustment on your TV when viewing DVD video discs.

Some DVD video discs may include a top menu, on which you can view the structure of contents or select a scene. Most of the top menus automatically appear in certain scenes, and also are displayed on demand. Actual operation of the top menu depends on the disc. This section explains a general example of how to operate a top menu. Also refer to the instructions of the disc itself.

1)Press DVD.

2)Press / / / to select the title you want.

If the titles in the top menu are assigned a number, you can directly locate a specific title by pressing its designated number with the number buttons.

3)Press ENTER.

Notes

The instructions above describe basic procedures which may vary depending on the contents of the DVD video disc. If different instructions appear on the TV screen, follow those instructions.

If you display the top menu during playback and press the DVD button again without selecting any title, the recorder may resume playback from the point where you first pressed the DVD button. (depending on the actual DVD video disc.)

This method of locating a title is available only on a disc that contains a top menu.

Instruction notes of discs may refer to the button that displays the top menu as the TITLE button.

Depending on the disc, the menu is displayed by the MENU button instead of the DVD button.
