Regional Coding

The DVD player and the discs are coded by region. These regional codes must match in
order for the disc to play.
This unit's code is Region 1. Discs with other regional codes can't be played in this unit.

Using Different Menus
Each disc is programmed with different features. There are two separate menu systems
that you can use to access DVD features: the disc's menu and the DVD player's menu
(separate from the TV's menu system). Remember that a feature only works if the disc was
programmed with that feature. For example, if you choose subtitles, the subtitles only appear
if the disc was created with subtitles. The DVD menu system is explained on page 16.

The Disc menu- The disc menu is part of each disc and is separate from the DVD
player's menu system. The contents of each disc's menu vary according to how the disc
was created and what features are included. Sometimes a disc's menu appears
automatically when you insert the disc, or you can access it by pressing the MENU button.

Types of Discs Your DVD Will Play

DVD discs - Contain video.

Audio discs - Contain musical or sound content only (such as CD, CD-R, CD-RW).

Before you load a disc, make sure that it is compatible with the player. Note that the following
discs CANNOT be used with this player:

Laser disc

CD-I, CD-ROM, DVD-ROM

MiniDisc

CD-G discs play audio only, not graphics

To Load and Play a Disc
1. Press the DVD button on the remote to make sure the unit is in the DVD mode.
2. Press the

(OPEN/CLOSE) button on the remote to open the disc tray. Place a disc gently

into the tray with the disc's label facing up (double-sided discs have content on both sides,
so you can place either side up).

3. Press the

(OPEN/CLOSE) button again to close the disc tray.

The player reads the disc's table of contents, and then one of following happens depending
on how the disc was programmed:

No disc menu appears, a screen saver is displayed. (Press the DVD button to put the
player in DVD mode.)
The disc menu appears. (Highlight the PLAY option and press OK.)
The disc menu appears on the screen when you press

. (Highlight PLAY and press

OK.)
The disc starts playing automatically.

If no picture or screen saver is displayed, press the DVD button to put the player in the DVD
mode.
