Playing DVDs26 Chapter 2Regional CodingBoth the TV/DVD unit and the discs are coded by region. These regional codes must match inorder for the disc to play. If the codes don’t match, the disc won’t play. This unit’s code is region 1.Using Different MenusEach disc is programmed with different features. There are three separate menu paths that you canuse to access features:• The Disc menu – The disc menu is part of each disc and is separate from the DVD’s menusystem. The contents of each disc menu vary according to how the disc was authored and whatfeatures are included. The disc menu is turned on and off (while the disc is playing) with theMENU button on the remote.• The DVD’s Info Display – The Info Display appears as icons across the top of the screenwhen a disc is playing. It can only be accessed while you are playing a disc. It’s turned on andoff with the INFO button on the remote.• The DVD’s menu system – The DVD’s menu system is accessed only when a disc isn’tplaying. It appears automatically when the STOP button is pressed.Remember that a feature will only work if the disc was programmed with that feature. For example,if you choose subtitles on the Info Display, the subtitles will only appear if the disc was createdwith subtitles. If a menu item is “grayed out” it means that item isn’t available.Loading and Playing DiscsYour TV/DVD unit plays DVD discs, Video CD discs, Audio CD discs, MP3 discs and CD-R discs.Before you load a disc, make sure that it is compatible with the player.
