Introduction 5

Welcome!

This Digital Video Disc Player will allow you to enjoy better picture quality, clearer sound, and endless playback features available on Digital Video Discs (DVDs). Expanding technology allows you to add options to your viewing - watch a director’s cut of a movie, listen to the producer’s comments, or play your favorite scene over and over again. Hear a movie in different languages, or listen only to the soundtrack. The possibilities are limited only by your choices and the materials available on the DVD. Of course, you can listen to your favorite Audio Compact Discs on this DVD Player as well. Determine the order in which you want to hear the songs, or play the Disc repeatedly - all while seeing the status of the CD on your television. We hope you enjoy this DVD Player and learn to use all of its features. To get the most out of the DVD Player, read this owner’s manual carefully. It will describe how you can access all the features listed below.

Disc Menus...

Some explanations in this manual describe the Disc Menus. These menus are set by the movie producers or by the music industry; the menus will vary among Discs. Furthermore, not all Discs have menus. However, if the Disc has a menu, you can access the Disc Menu by pressing the DISC MENU button on the remote control.

Details are on page 19.

DVD Player Menus...

Some instructions explain how to use the DVD Player’s menu to set up features of the DVD Player or the Disc. You get to the DVD Player Menu by pressing the SETUP button on the remote control when Disc playback is stopped. Even if a feature is set up in the DVD Player’s menu, it may not be available if the current Disc does not include that feature.

Available Disc Features...

Not all of the features described in this manual may be available on every DVD or Audio CD. If the feature is not available on the Disc, you cannot

use the DVD Player to make these features available. An “X” will appear in the top right corner of the TV screen if you try to access a feature that is not available on the current Disc or not available at the current time. The “X” may not be visible if the DVD you are playing is in Widescreen format (with black bars at the top and bottom of the picture).

Region Codes

DVDs also must be labeled for ALL regions or for Region 1 in order to play on this DVD Player. You can not play Discs that are labeled for other regions. Look for the symbols below on your DVDs. If these region symbols do not appear on your DVD, you cannot play the DVD in this DVD Player.

The color system of the DVD may be listed on the DVD or on the Disc case.
