BASIC PLAYBACK
Basic Operation
This section shows you the basics on how to play back a DVD video disc.
PREPARATIONS
• When you want to play back DVD video discs, turn on the TV and
select the video input source connected to the DVD player.
• When you want to enjoy the sound of DVD video discs or audio CDs
from the audio system, turn on the audio system and select the input
source connected to the DVD player.
• For connection details, see pages 12 through 16.
• Set the playback picture size according to the aspect ratio of the
connected TV at the SETUP menu (TV Aspect).
• If you do not have the necessary equipment to enjoy Dolby Digital
sound, set the Digital Audio Output at the SETUP (Digital Audio
Output) menu to “PCM”.
1 Press POWER. The DVD player turns on and the power indicator
turns off.
2 Press OPEN/CLOSE. The disc tray opens. You can open the disc tray
by pressing this button even if the DVD player is in standby mode.
3 Place a disc on the disc tray with the playback side down. There
are two different disc sizes. Place the disc in the correct guide on the
disc tray. If the disc is out of the guide, it may damage the disc and
cause the DVD player to malfunction. Do not place anything except
3” discs or 5” discs on the disc tray.
4 Press PLAY. The disc tray is automatically closed and playback
begins. If the disc is placed in upside down (and it is a single sided
disc), “NO DISC” or “DISC ERROR” appears on the TV screen.
Operating status indicator
• If you insert an audio CD, the CD indicator lights up in the DVD
display. The title number does not appear.
• After playing back all of the chapters in the title, the DVD player
automatically stops and returns to the menu screen.
