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.
Features
When referring to this manual, remember...
Indicates that the feature described is available on some Digital Video Discs.
Indicates that the feature described is available on some Audio Compact
Discs.
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).

6 Playable Discs
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 number inside the globe refers to a region of the world. Region 1 represents the
United States, Canada, upper regions of North America, Bermuda, the U.S. Virgin Islands,
and small regions near Australia.
A Disc encoded in a specific region format can only be played on DVD Players with the
same region code. For example, if a Disc is labeled for Region 2, you can not play the
DVD on this DVD Player.
Color Systems
Different color systems are available throughout the world. The most common color systems are NTSC, which is used primarily in the United States and North America, PAL,
and SECAM.
This DVD Player uses the NTSC color system. Therefore, the Discs that you play must be
recorded in the NTSC system. You cannot play Discs recorded in other formats. The
color system of the DVD may be listed on the DVD or on the Disc case.
Unacceptable Discs
If you insert an unacceptable type of disc, “Please insert a playable disc” will appear on
the TV screen. Also, “- - - - - “ will appear on the DVD Player display panel. Insert a
DVD or Audio CD. The following Discs will not play on this DVD Player.
