Press the
PLAY button.
The DVD Changer starts playback.
If you have inserted a DVD video disc with a title menu or
a Video CD with PBC (Playback Control) functionality, a
menu screen may appear. See “Direct Playback via the
On-Screen Menu” on page 16.
To start playback of a PBC-equipped VIDEO CD from the
menu screen, set “PBC” to “ON” via the on-screen menu
function. See page 38.
To obtain a higher picture quality
Occasionally, some picture distortion not usually visible during a
normal telecast may appear on the TV screen during playback of a
DVD video disc. This is due to the fact that DVD videos provide a
higher resolution and therefore also more data to process. While the
amount of noise depends on the TV you connect the DVD Changer to,
reducing the sharpness setting on your TV when viewing DVD video
discs may alleviate the problem.
