Basic Playback
This section shows you the basics on how to play back a DVD video disc.
Press POWER.
The DVD player turns on and the power indicator turn off.
Press OPEN/CLOSE.
The disc tray opens.
You can open the disc tray by pressing this button even if the DVD play-
er is in standby mode.
Place a disc on the disc tray with the
playback side down.
There
are
two
different
disc
sizes. Place
the
disc
in
the
correct guide on the disc tray. If the disc is out of the guide, it may dam-
age the disc and cause the DVD player to malfunction.
Do not place anything except 3” discs or 5” discs on the disc tray.
Discs can be loaded one at a time by pressing DISC SKIP or DISC
SELECT (1 - 5) to rotate the carousel.
Press OPEN/CLOSE to close the loading drawer.
The disc on the tray 1 is ready to be played back. Playback
may begin automatically depending on some DVDs.
If no disc is loaded on the disc tray 1, select another disc by
following step 5.
Do not close the loading drawer by hand.
If the disc is placed in upside down (and it is a single sided disc), “NO
DISC” or “DISC ERROR” appears on the TV screen.
If you insert an audio CD, the CD indicator lights up in the DVD
display. The title number does not appear.
After playing back all of the chapters in the title, the DVD player auto-
matically stops and returns to the menu screen.
Caution: Do not touch the loading drawer and carousel
while they are in motion, and do not attempt to rotate
the carousel by hand; doing so could result in incorrect
operation of the player and/or damage to the discs.
