Using Different Menus

Each disc is programmed with different features.There are three separate types of menus that 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 vary according to how the disc was authored and what features were included on the disc.The Disc menu is turned on and off (while the disc is playing) with the MENU button on the remote.

• The DVD player’s Info Display – The Info Display

appears as icons across the top of the screen. It can only be accessed while you are playing a disc. It’s turned on and off with the INFO button on the remote control.

• The DVD player menu – The DVD player’s menu

system is accessed only when a disc isn’t playing. It appears automatically when you press the STOP button on the remote.

Remember: A feature will only work if the disc was programmed with that feature. For example, if you choose subtitles on the Info Display, the subtitles will only appear if the disc was created with subtitles. If a menu or icon is “grayed out” it means that item (or feature) isn’t available.
