Important
• Throughout this manual, the term ‘DVD’
means DVD-Video, DVD+R/RW and DVD-
R/RW. If a function is specific to a
particular kind of DVD disc, it is specified.
1 If the player isn’t already on, press
(STANDBY/ON) to switch it on.
If you’re playing a DVD, disc containing DivX
video files or Video CD/Super VCD, also turn on
your TV and make sure that it is set to the
correct video input.
2 Press OPEN/CLOSE () to open the disc
tray.
3 Load a disc.
Load a disc with the label side facing up, using
the disc tray guide to align the disc (if you’re
loading a double-sided DVD disc, load it with
the side you want to play face down).
4 Press (play) to start playback.
If you’re playing a DVD or Video CD/Super VCD,
an on-screen menu may appear. See DVD-
Video disc menus on page 18 and Video CD/
Super VCD PBC menus on page 18 for more on
how to navigate these.
• If you’re playing a containing DivX video
files or MP3/WMA audio files, it may take a
few seconds before playback starts, etc.
This is normal.
Note
• You may find with some DVD discs that
some playback controls don’t work in
certain parts of the disc. This is not a
malfunction.
• If a disc contains a mixture of DivX video
and other media file types (MP3, for
example), first select whether to play the
DivX video files (DivX)or the other media
file types (MP3 / WMA / JPEG) from the
