DVD 5.1 (English)

Operation.

The DVD 5.1 is controlled partially using the elements on the device itself (basic functions) as
well as with the remote control (configuration, DVD navigation, etc.).

When you switch the DVD 5.1 on (see page 35), the TV screen will display the welcome screen
(TerraTec logo) and the message (“Loading”). If you have not yet put a CD in the player, it will
point this out to you with the words “No disc”. Press the button on the device marked
CLOSE/OPEN and insert a CD (DVD, etc.) with the writing facing upwards and press the button
again to close the tray. The player will start loading again, recognizing the CD contents auto-
matically, and will start the playback after a few seconds.

For some CDs you may have to help the DVD 5.1 with its selection. You may then select the
content of the CD.

Navigation/selection of menus and options.

 Use the arrow buttons on the lower section of the

remote control for navigation (i.e. to select an on-screen menu or option). The selected item
will then be highlighted in white. Pressing the RETURN button activates the marked position.
