Note

The unit saves the settings you make with the user mode for each disc so when you play a disc again and select a user mode, the same settings are selected. Discs you play for the first time use the previous settings. The unit can save settings for up to 200 discs. The settings for a disc are not saved if you switch to normal, soft, fine, or cinema mode before opening the disc tray or switching the unit to standby.
