Playing Discs
To Load and Play a DVD Disc
Turn on the TV and your DVD Player (press ON•OFF on the remote or
press the STANDBY/ON button on the DVD Player).
1. If necessary, tune the TV to its Video Input channel (if you need more
information, go to page 41).
2. Press the OPEN/CLOSE button (the disc tray opens).
3. 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).
4. Press the OPEN/CLOSE or PLAY button. The disc tray closes. The DVD
Player reads the disc’s table of contents, and then one of three things
happens depending on how the disc was programmed:
•
The disc starts playing.
•
The disc menu appears on the screen. One of the options will
start disc play. Highlight that option and press OK.
•
The DVD Player’s main menu appears on the screen. Highlight the
Play option and press OK.
When you stop playing a disc, the player remembers where you stopped.
When you start playing the disc again the DVD Player picks up where you
left off unless the disc is removed, or the player is unplugged, or you
press the STOP button twice.
