Before You Begin 3Before YouBeginThere’s Always a CatchBecause DVD is a new technology, we recommend thatyou take some time right now to read through thismanual and familiarize yourself with the player.I Know, You Really Want to Get GoingI know that you’d rather use your DVD player than readabout it, so I’ve divided this manual up into sectionsthat address how to use each type of disc that you canplay on your player: DVDs, Audio CDs, and Video CDs.So, you don’t have to read all of the book at once.Read the First Two Sections FirstThe first two sections, “Before You Begin” and“Connections” include key information to get youstarted in the right direction. I suggest that you read atleast these two sections before you do anything; thenyou can go back to the sections that discuss thefeatures as you want to use them.3A Note about the IllustrationsThe illustrations in this book arerepresentational, and in some instancesmay not exactly match the itemrepresented.
