Basic operation

Direct playback

Pressing DISC (1, 2, 3, 4 or 5) on the front panel will select the disc directly (even if the disc table is open), and playback will begin automatically.

Even if the disc table is open, pressing PLAY will close the disc table and begin playback of the disc 1.

PLAYXCHANGE

During playback, you can open the disc table by pressing PLAYXCHANGE without interrupting playback. While PLAYXCHANGE is working, pressing DISC SKIP has no effect.

Note

You can load or replace discs on the trays when the disc table is opening, however, never load a disc on the tray hidden inside the unit. In doing so, the disc and the unit may be damaged, because the tray already has a disc which is being played back.

Automatic playback-starting function (for DVDs only)

If you load a disc which includes the information for automatic playback-starting, playback starts automatically without an operation of starting playback.

Notes

There may be a case that appears on the monitor screen when a button is pressed. It means that the corresponding operation is prohibited by this unit or the disc currently played back.

For DVDs and Video CDs:

The disc continues to rotate while the menu is displayed on the monitor screen even after the playback of an item is finished. If no further selection is to be played back, be sure to press STOP ( ) to clear the menu.

Precautions

Subjecting the unit to shock or vibration can cause mistracking.

Do not pull open the disc table forcibly with your hands.

Do not push the disc table while it is moving.

The temperature range for playing back discs is recommended to be 5°C (41°F) – 35°C (95°F).
