INSERTING A DISC IN THE TRAY
Insert a disc in the DVD Recorder tray with the shiny side down. Note that some discs shine more than others. In the
case of commercial CDs, the disc identifying information is printed on the top side of a disc. Do not insert more than
one disc in the disc tray at a time.
BASIC PLAYBACK
There are different techniques for playing discs. The first instructions in this chapter apply to the simplest methods for
playback. These instructions are then extended to include more advanced playback features and how to use them.
For MP3, JPEG playback features, please refer to SMARTNAVI section.
PREPARING FOR PLAYBACK
1. To playback a disc, turn on the TV and select the DVD Recorder output connected to the TV.
2. If the DVD Recorder audio outputs are connected to an A/V receiver turn on the receiver and make the appropriate
selections to play audio from the DVD Recorder. Otherwise, connect audio output to TV input.
3. Set options in the setup menus that are appropriate for your speaker arrangement and speaker configuration, for
the video standard (PAL or NTSC) of your television monitor, and for the video picture aspect ratio.
4. DVDs are encoded for six different regions. Check that the region designated on the DVD packaging conforms to
your region. Region encoding setting cannot be altered through Setup Menu.
CHANGING THE CAMERA ANGLE (DVD)
Some DVDs provide multiple shots of a selected scene each from a different camera angel, so you can choose which
angle you are most interested in viewing. A small icon appears on the screen (if you set angel mark feature ON from
setup menu) when multiple angles are available. Press the ANGLE button to make a selection.
BASIC PLAYBACK (DVD,VCD,AUDIO CD)
Some playback operations and interactivity features of DVD and VCD may be intentionally fixed by the software producer.
Accordingly, some playback features may not be available. You should refer to the instructions supplied with the DVD
or VCD. The simplest way to playback a disc is to follow this procedure.
1. Press Open/Close button on remote control or front panel.
2. Place disc on the disc tray.
3. Press Play on remote control or front panel.
The player starts to play the first section recorded on the disc and continues sequentially until the end is reached. This
statement assumes that parental controls are off or set in such a way to allow the disc to play unimpeded and also
the region of DVD conforms to your region.
STARTING PLAYBACK FROM ON SCREEN MENU (DVD-VCD)
Some DVDs or VCDs come up with a disc menu. You can choose to start playback from beginning or you can select
a specific scene to play if provided in this menu.
