6 Introduction Welcome! This Digital Video Disc Player will allow you to enjoy better picture quality, clearer sound, and endless playback features 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 repeatedly. 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, too. 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 its features. To get the most from the DVD Player, read this manual carefully. It will describe how you can access these features.

However, if the Disc has a menu, you can access the Disc Menu by pressing DISC MENU on the remote control. Details are on pages 16 and 26. DVD Player Menus... Some instructions explain how to use the DVD Player's menu (or the System Menu) to set up features of the DVD Player or the Disc. You get to the DVD Player Menu by pressing SYSTEM MENU on the remote control. 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... Features in this manual may not 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 left 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).
