DVD features

You can recognise a DVD by the logo on the label.
Depending on the content of the DVD, the discs contain one or more titles.
Each title may contain one or more chapters. Titles and chapters can be selected
easily and conveniently.
You can control and direct playback of a DVD using the menu of the DVD play-
er on the television screen.

Special DVD features

DVDs have a title menu which provides an overview of the titles available and
the passages they contain.

Some of the DVD player’s functions, such as slow motion, freeze-frame and
auto-play, can also be controlled by the DVD itself. It is therefore possible that
the freeze-frame function, for example, cannot be selected during certain scenes.

Many DVDs have audio tracks recorded in up to eight languages. 
This enables you to select the language you prefer.

Many DVDs are recorded by the manufacturer with subtitles in several languages.
You can select subtitle superimposition from up to 32 different languages.

Since films are released in different parts of the world at different times, all DVD
players world-wide are given a regional code. Your DVD player has been given
region code 2.

DVDs can also be given a supplementary regional code. If you insert a DVD
with different code to that of the DVD player, a reference to the regional code
appears on the television screen. The DVD player will not be able to play back
the DVD.
