Please Read This Before Using the DIGITAL AUDIO OUT Jack!
This player’s digital output jack is designed for a connection to a Dolby Digital or DTS receiver or
decoder.
Older digital equipment may not be compatible with the Dolby Digital bitstream. Such a connection can
create a high level of noise that may be harmful to your ears, and could damage headphones or
speakers.
It is important to choose the correct Digital Output setting in the DVD Player’s Sound menu, especially
when you use the DIGITAL AUDIO OUT jack. For more information, see chapter 5.

Playing DVDs
Regional Coding
Both the DVD player and the discs are coded by region. These regional codes must match in
order for the disc to play. If the codes don’t match, the disc won’t play. This player’s code is
region 1.
Using Different Menus
Each disc is programmed with different features. There are three separate ways you can use to
access features:
•
The Disc menu – The Disc menu is part of each disc and is separate from the DVD player’s
menu. The contents of each disc menu varies according to how the disc was authored and
what features are included. The disc menu is turned on and off (while the disc is playing) with
the MENU button on the remote.
•
The DVD player menu – The DVD player’s menu system is accessed only when a disc isn’t
playing. Press MENU on the remote to bring up the DVD player menu.
Remember that a feature will only work if the disc was programmed with that feature. For
example, if you have subtitles turned on, the subtitles will only appear if the disc was created with
subtitles. If a menu item is “grayed out” it means that item isn’t available.
•
Information Banners – Banners are a type of information display that appear across the top of
the screen during playback. Information banners are activated by pressing the INFO button
on the remote.
Loading and Playing Discs
Your DVD player plays DVD discs and audio CD discs. Before you load a disc, make sure that it is
compatible with the player. The following discs CANNOT be used with this player:
•
•
•
•
Laserdiscs
CD-I, CD-ROM (computer-only discs), CD-RW, DVD-ROM
Discs recorded using other broadcast standards (i.e. PAL or SECAM)
CD-G discs play audio only, not graphics

2. 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).
This is an example of a
one-sided disc.
3. Press the OPEN•CLOSE or PLAY button on the front of the player
to close the disc tray.
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. Press the
PLAY/OK button on the remote.
This is an example of a
2-sided disc. The title is
in the center.
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. To begin the title over, press STOP twice.
Using a Disc Menu
A disc is capable of having an on-screen menu that is separate from the
DVD player’s menu system and on-screen information banners. The disc
menu might only contain a list of the titles and chapters, or it may allow
you to change features such as language and playback settings.
Tip
Many discs skip the disc
menu and start playing
automatically. To access
the disc menu when
you’re playing a disc,
press MENU on the
remote.
“Default settings” are the settings that the player will default to
each time it is turned on.
Any settings you change with the disc menu only temporarily override the
default settings.
Use the Setup Menu of the DVD player to change the default settings (See
chapter 6).
Although the content and operation of disc menus varies from disc to
disc, the following example will give you an idea of what to expect.
1. While the disc is playing, press MENU.
The disc menu appears.
An example of a disc menu. Menus on
discs vary.

in the DVD Player’s menu temporarily. Default settings are the settings
that you set up in the DVD Player’s menu system. To change the default
settings, see Chapter 5.
In the example on the left, English is
highlighted. Press OK on the remote
to play the disc with English dialog.

Playing Video CDs
What is a Video CD?
Like DVD video discs, Video CDs contain picture and sound content. Video CDs (VCDs) are
encoded in a different format. VCDs don’t hold as much information as DVD discs and the picture
quality is not as high.
VCDs can have more than one title. Each title is divided into tracks (similar to chapters on a DVD
disc).
The Video CD Disc Menu
A Video CD disc is capable of having an on-screen menu that is separate from the DVD player’s
menu system and on-screen information banners. If the disc has a menu, the menu will appear
after the disc is loaded into the player.
The content and operation of disc menus varies from disc to disc. Check the instructions that
accompany the Video CD for more information on how to use the playback control functions for
that specific disc.
If a disc menu appears:
1. Use the number buttons on the remote to select a track (similar to a title).
2. Press PLAY/OK on the remote to begin playback of the selected track.
3. Press
or
on the remote to scroll through the tracks.
4. Press the STOP button on the remote to stop playback and return to the disc menu.
To bring up the disc menu during disc play, press the MENU button on the remote.
If the Video CD Has Playback Control
If a disc is encoded with the playback control function, a menu screen appears after the disc is
loaded into the player.
1. Use the number buttons on the remote to select a track.
2. Press PLAY/OK to begin playback of the selected track.
3. Press
or
on the remote to scroll through the tracks.
4. Press GO BACK to stop playback and return to the menu or press STOP to stop playback and
remove the menu from the screen.
Bypassing Playback Control
If a Video CD has playback control, you can bypass the disc’s menu by following these steps when
you first load the discs.
1. Press STOP to put the player in the stop mode.
2. Use the number buttons on the remote to enter the desired track number, and then press
PLAY/OK. When playback begins, the disc will respond as if it is not in the Playback Control
mode.

Resuming Playback Control
To resume the Playback Control mode, press MENU (the disc’s menu appears).
Using the Time Search Feature
You can use the Time Search feature to begin playback from any point on the disc (in the
currently playing title) by entering the elapsed time. For example, if you have a favorite scene
that begins 12:34 minutes into the movie, you can go directly to that point in the title.
1. Press the TIME SEARCH button on the remote (the time search prompt will be displayed).
2. Enter the elapsed time where you want to begin playback. As soon as you enter the last
number, playback will begin from the time that you specified.
Note: This feature does not work in Playback Control mode.
A•B Repeat
A-B Repeat lets you repeat a specific segment on the DVD that you define. The segment will
repeat until you turn it off.
1. At the start of the segment you want to repeat, Press the A-B button
on the remote. The Info Display shows “REPEAT A.”
2. Allow the movie to play to the end of the segment you want to mark.
You must let the movie play in standard playback mode to set the B
point in A-B Repeat. If you rewind or fast-forward, A-B Repeat is
cancelled.
3. Press A-B again to set the B point.
4. The segment that you set plays until you turn A-B Repeat off. To turn
A-B repeat off, press A-B to resume normal playback.
Use A-B Repeat to repeat a segment if a
track that you’ve set.
Remaining Play time
You can use the REMAIN button on the remote to see the remaining
time of a title or track.
1. Press the REMAIN button. The remaining running time of the
currently playing track is displayed.
2. Press REMAIN a second time. The total remaining time is displayed.
3. Press CLEAR to clear the display from the screen.

The Parental feature is a rating limit system, like movie ratings. It works with DVD discs that have
been assigned a rating. This helps you control the types of DVDs that your family watches.
This option lets you determine how your player will react to discs that contain movies that are rated
(in the U.S.A., the Motion Pictures Association of America rates movies as G, PG, PG-13, etc.).
You decide which ratings require a password and which ones don’t. This system ranks the ratings 1
through 8 in order to accommodate different countries’ ratings systems (1 is considered a movie
title with the least offensive material).
In order for the Rating level feature to work, the disc must be encoded with rating information and
the Password Mode must be turned on.
