DVD Auto Play The DVD 50's Auto Play function makes it easier and more enjoyable to view DVDs. When this feature is activated, the unit will automatically start playback when the Main Menu of a DVD appears if no other button is pressed within three seconds of the time the Main Menu appears. In normal use, most discs stop at the Main Menu to wait for your input, requiring some user intervention. With Auto Play, DVD viewing is seamless, as the start of the movie is automatically selected unless another function is specifically requested. Of course, even with Auto Play in effect, you may always customize the disc's playback by pressing any button to make your selection within three seconds. Figure 12 To enable the Auto Play function, press the ¤ Navigation Button e so that the circle next to the word "Auto" is orange. Next, press the Enter Button ` to activate the feature and store the setting in the DVD 50's memory. Note that the AUTOPLAY Indicator I will light to remind you that DVD discs will go directly into the Play mode, rather than stop at their Main Menu. To disable the Auto Play function, press the ⁄ Navigation Button e so that the circle next to the word "Off" is orange. Next, press the Enter Button ` to store the setting in the DVD 50's memory. If the setting was previously active, the AUTOPLAY Indicator I will go out. If you have no further changes to make after setting this default, press the Menu Button 28 to remove the Setup Menu from the screen, or press the Play Button g/# to resume playback. 23 SETUP MENU
