Standby mode. Turn the unit on by pressing
either the

Power On Button

on the

remote or the

Open/Close Button

Play Button

on the front panel. The

Status Indicator

will turn green.

Open the DVD600’s drawer, and insert up to
5 discs in the tray locations, using the

Disc

Skip Button

to rotate the carousel

to access all locations. Make sure each disc is
loaded with the label side up, and that it is
seated correctly in its location.

When you close the drawer, the DVD600 will
automatically start playing the first disc it rec-
ognizes, whether it is a CD or DVD disc.
However, whichever type of disc is playing,
make sure that you have selected DVD as the
input source on the DCR600 by pressing

the remote, or

on the front panel of the

receiver until DVD is indicated.

For most discs, the DVD600 and DCR600 will
automatically select the correct surround mode.
To make sure that audio in the DTS audio format
is correctly processed, you must choose that for-
mat as the default in the DVD600’s setup menu.
Simply stop play of the disc, and enter the setup
menu by pressing

on the remote. Use the

⁄

Buttons

to scroll down to

Digital Audio Output.

Press the

Set Button

to select this option, and a screen will pop

up, allowing you to choose from PCM, Dolby
Digital or DTS outputs. Use the

⁄

Buttons

to highlight DTS, then press

the

Set Button

to select this choice. You

do not need to reset the audio output for other
formats. The DCR600 and DVD600 will automat-
ically process PCM, Dolby Digital and DTS sig-
nals correctly. Press the

Menu Button

exit the menu screen. If you press the

Menu

Button

while the disc is playing, you can

access the disc’s menu to choose the DTS for-
mat there as well.

You may wish to experiment with surround
modes other than Dolby Digital and DTS using
the DCR600’s functions. Press the

Surround

Mode Selector

to scroll through such

choices as Dolby Pro Logic, Dolby 3 Stereo,
5-Channel Stereo, Hall, Theater, VMAx, Logic 7
or Surround Off (Stereo). See page 52 for
descriptions of these modes.

Press the

Stop Button

once to enter

Resume mode, in which play will resume from
the point where it was stopped. Pressing the

Stop Button

twice will cause play to

resume from the beginning of the disc, or the
disc’s main menu.

You may wish to listen to the tracks of a CD, or
view the chapters of a DVD, in a different order
than they appear on the disc.

The Random function will play all of the tracks
on one CD, or all of the chapters on one DVD, in
a random order selected by the DVD600. The
DVD600 does not randomly play selections from
all five discs inserted in its tray, since this might
result in the odd experience of alternating among
audio tracks and disjointed video selections.
Simply press the

Random Button

once to

start random play, and press it again to return to
standard play, using the disc’s main menu.

The DVD600 offers several variations of Repeat
