Connections & Setup
Using Different Menus
Each disc is programmed with different features. There are three paths that you can use to access
features: the disc’s menu, the DVD’s Info Display, and the DVD’s Menu System. Remember that a
feature only works if the disc was programmed with that feature. For example, if you choose
subtitles, the subtitles only appear if the disc was created with subtitles.
• The Disc menu – The disc menu is part of each disc and is separate from the DVD’s Info
Display and DVD’s Menu System. The contents of each disc’s menu vary according to how the
disc was authored and what features are included. The disc menu is turned on when a disc is
inserted or you press the PLAY button on the remote.
• The DVD’s Info Display – The Info Display appears as icons across the top of the screen
when a disc is playing. It can only be accessed while you are playing a disc. It’s turned on and
off with the INFO button on the remote. The Info Display is explained in Chapter 2.
• The DVD’s Menu System – The DVD’s Menu System is accessed only when a DVD is in the
stop mode. The DVD’s menu system is explained in Chapter 3.
Types of Discs Your DVD Will Play
• DVD discs – DVDs contain video.
• Audio discs – Audio CDs contain musical or sound content only.
• MP3 discs – A disc that contains audio files (for example, a CD-R with downloaded MP3 files).

To Load and Play a Disc
To put the TV/DVD/Radio in DVD mode and play a disc, press the DVD MODE
button on the TV/DVD/Radio or DVD on the remote control.
Note: You must be in the DVD mode to open the disc tray.
1. Press the OPEN/CLOSE button on the front of the TV/DVD/Radio. The disc
tray opens.
2. Place a disc gently into the tray with the disc’s label facing up (doublesided discs have content on both sides, so you can place either side up).
3. Press the OPEN/CLOSE button. The disc tray closes.
Note: Pressing the PLAY/PAUSE button also closes the tray and starts the
disc playing.
The TV/DVD/Radio reads the disc’s table of contents, and then one of
following happens depending on how the disc was programmed:
• No disc menu appears.
• The disc menu appears.
• The disc menu appears on the screen when you press PLAY/PAUSE on the
front of the TV/DVD/Radio or DISC MENU on the remote control.
14 Chapter 1
Connections & Setup
When you stop playing a disc, the TV/DVD/Radio remembers where you
stopped. When you start playing the disc again, it picks up where you left off
unless the disc is removed, power is turned off, or the unit is unplugged.
A screen saver image might be displayed on the screen if you leave a disc in
play, pause, or stop mode for approximately three minutes. To make the screen
disappear, press PLAY or DVD button.
Using a Disc Menu
A disc is capable of having an on-screen menu that is separate from the DVD’s on-screen Info
Display and the DVD’s Menu System. 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 vary from disc to disc, the following example
will give you an idea of what to expect.
1. When the disc is first inserted and/or you press PLAY/PAUSE on the front
of the TV/DVD/Radio or DISC MENU on the remote control, the disc menu
appears.
This is an example of a disc menu. The
menus on discs vary because the disc
menu is created by the disc’s author.

Playing Discs and Using the Radio
Using the On-Screen Info Display
The on-screen Info Display contains many playback features. To see the Info Display, use the INFO
button on the remote while a disc is playing.
Each feature of the Info Display is illustrated with an icon. Use the left/right arrow buttons on the
remote or TV/DVD/Radio to move through the different icons in the Info Display. When an icon is
highlighted, use the up/down arrow buttons on the remote to scroll through the choices displayed
in the text box under the icons.
Remember, you can only access the Info Display when you’re playing a disc. Also, the Info Display
features are only available if the disc was created with that particular feature (i.e., if you select the
Subtitle icon, you won’t be able to change the subtitle language unless the author of the disc
created the disc with different subtitle languages).
The invalid symbol appears on the screen when you press a button that doesn’t have any
function. To make the Info Display disappear from the screen, press INFO on the remote until it
disappears.

Using the DVD’s Menu System
The DVD’s Menu System
The DVD’s menu system is not the same as the disc contents menu. Some discs have their own
menu system related to the information of the movie. The disc contents menu system was
discussed earlier in Chapter 2.
The DVD’s menu system lets you select different features for the disc. A disc must be in the stop
mode before you can bring up the DVD’s Menu System. Press DVD MENU on the remote to bring
up the menu system. There are three features in the DVD’s menu: Language, Video, and Rating.
Moving through the Menus
The left/right/up/down arrows and ENTER button are used to navigate through the DVD’s menu
system. Step-by-step instructions are explained for the O.S.D language menu and then you can use
the same method to access other features in the menu. The buttons you use to move through the
menu system are displayed at the bottom of the menu.
Setting the O.S.D. Language
1. Press DVD MENU on the remote to display the DVD’s menu with
the disc in the stop mode.

display) as well as the AUDIO, SUBTITLE and DISC MENU of the disc’s
contents. Use the same method for setting these languages as you did
for the O.S.D. language. Use the left/right/up/down arrow and the
ENTER buttons on the remote.

VIDEO Menu
The VIDEO menu enables you to choose the ASPECT ratio for your
TV. This is also useful if you decide to connect a larger TV to this
unit. Use the same method for moving through the menus as you
did for the O.S.D. language.
The settings in the SYSTEM and OUTPUT options of the VIDEO
menu are automatically programmed. You can’t change them.
ASPECT Ratio
Choose one of three options that are available: 4:3 LB (Letter Box),
4:3 PS (Pan Scan), 16:9 WS (Wide Screen).
4:3 LB (Letter Box): Choose this option if you want to see
movies in their original aspect ratio (height-to-width ration).
This option shows the entire wide screen film frame on a 4 x 3
screen by proportionately reducing the height of the wide
screen image. Then its width fits the screen and fills in the top
and bottom spaces with black bars.
4:3 PS (Pan Scan): Choose this option if you want the
movie to fill the entire screen of your TV/DVD. This shows
only the most important parts of the image and excludes the
less important parts (the left and right edges).
Note: Most discs produced in a widescreen format can’t be cropped
in this fashion. This means the black bars appear at the top and the
bottom of the screen.
38 Chapter 3
Using the DVD’s Menu System
16:9WS (Wide Screen): Select this mode when connecting
to a widescreen TV. A wide screen picture is displayed full size.
Rating Menu
The RATING menu lets you control the types of DVDs that your family
watches. You decide which ratings require a password and which
ones don’t. The system ranks the ratings 1 through 8 in order to
accommodate rating systems used in other countries. The three
options of the RATING menu are: RATING LEVEL, CHANGE
PASSWORD, and CANCEL PASSWORD. Use the same method for
moving through the menus as you did for the O.S.D. language.
RATING LEVEL: Select the rating level that you want your family
to watch. LEVEL 1 (family) is considered least offensive and
LEVEL 8 (adult) is most offensive.
CHANGE PASSWORD: Select this option if you want to change
your password.
CANCEL PASSWORD: Select this option if you want to cancel
your password.
Notes: Make sure you remember your password (you might want to
write down the number). The rating level is locked and cannot be
changed unless you enter the correct password
If you forget your password, place remote in DVD mode by pressing the
DVD button. Then press ENTER, TUNE–, and TUNE+ to reset password.
