Playing Discs
Regional Coding
Both the DVD Player and the discs are coded by region. These regional codes must match in
order for the disc to play. This player’s code is region 1.
Using Different Menus
Each disc is programmed with different features. There are three separate types of menus
that you can use to access features:
•
The Disc menu – The Disc menu is part of each disc and is separate from the DVD player’s
menu. The contents of each Disc menu varies according to how the disc was authored
and what features are included. The Disc menu is turned on and off (while the disc is
playing) with the MENU button on the remote.
•
The DVD player’s Info Display – The Info Display appears as icons across the top of the
screen. It can only be accessed while you are playing a disc. It’s turned on and off with
the INFO button on the remote.
• The DVD player menu – The DVD player’s menu system is accessed only when a disc isn’t
playing. It appears automatically when you press the STOP button on the remote.
Remember: A feature will only work if the disc was programmed with that feature. For example, if you
choose subtitles on the Info Display, the subtitles will only appear if the disc was created with subtitles.
If a menu or icon is “grayed out” it means that item (or feature) isn’t available.
