6 Introduction

Welcome!

This Digital Video Disc Player will allow you to enjoy better picture quality, clearer sound, and endless
playback features on Digital Video Discs (DVDs) and Video Compact Discs (Video CDs). Expanding tech-
nology allows you to add options to your viewing - watch a director’s cut of a movie, listen to the produc-
er’s comments, or play your favorite scene repeatedly. Hear a movie in different languages, or listen only
to the soundtrack. The possibilities are limited only by your choices and the materials available on the
DVD.
Of course, you can listen to your favorite Audio and Super Audio Compact Discs on this DVD Player,
too. Determine the order in which you want to hear the songs, or play the Disc repeatedly - all while see-
ing the status of the CD on your television. Some Super Audio CDs, known as hybrid discs, may also be
played on a standard CD player.
We hope you enjoy this DVD Player and learn to use its features. To get the most from the DVD Player,
read this manual carefully. It will describe how you can access these features.

Disc Menus...

Some explanations in this manual describe the Disc Menus. These menus are set by the movie producers
or by the music industry; the menus will vary among Discs. Furthermore, not all Discs have menus.
However, if the Disc has a menu, you can access the Disc Menu by pressing DISC MENU on the remote
control.

Details are on pages 16 and 26.

DVD Player Menus...

Some instructions explain how to use the DVD Player’s menu (or the System Menu) to set up features of
the DVD Player or the Disc. You get to the DVD Player Menu by pressing SYSTEM MENU on the
remote control. Even if a feature is set up in the DVD Player’s menu, it may not be available if the current
Disc does not include that feature.

Available Disc Features...

Features in this manual may not be available on every DVD or Audio CD. If the feature is
not available on the Disc, you cannot use the DVD Player to make these features available.
An “X” will appear in the top left corner of the TV screen if you try to access a feature
that is not available on the current Disc or not available at the current time. The “X” may

not be visible if the DVD you are playing is in Widescreen format (with black bars at the top and bottom
of the picture).
