About this owner’s manual
This owner’s manual explains the basic instructions of
this DVD/VCR. Some DVD video discs are produced in
a manner that allows specific or limited operation during
playback. As such, the DVD/VCR may not respond to all
operating commands. This is not a defect in the DVD/
VCR. Refer to instruction notes of discs.
“
” may appear on the TV screen during operation.
A “
” means that the operation is not permitted by the
DVD/VCR or the disc.
For example, sometimes it is unable to stop the
playback of copyright message of the disc when the
STOP (3) button is pressed. Alternatively, the “
” may
also indicate that the feature is not available for the disc.
