1.

Press the OPEN•CLOSE button on the front of the DVD Player or press and hold the STOP button on the DVD remote. The disc tray opens.

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).

3.

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 if you press the STOP button 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 Info Display. 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.

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.

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.

1.

While the disc is playing, press MENU.

The disc menu appears.
