•The Disc menu – The Disc menu is part of each
disc and is separate from the DVD player’s menu.The
contents of each Disc menu vary according to how
the disc was authored and what features were
included on the disc.The Disc menu is turned on and
off (while the disc is playing) with the MENU button
on the remote.
•The DVD player’s Info Display – The Info Display
appears as icons across the top of the screen. It can
only be accessed while you are playing a disc. It’s
turned on and off with the INFO button on the
remote control.
•The DVD player menu – The DVD player’s menu
system is accessed only when a disc isn’t playing. It
appears automatically when you press the STOP
button on the remote.
Remember: 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 created with
subtitles. If a menu or icon is “grayed out” it means that item (or
feature) isn’t available.

Playing mp3,WMA, or JPEG files
mp3 is an audio file format which compresses recorded music. It was developed by Fraunhofer
Gesellschaft in collaboration with Thomson Inc.The main advantage of the mp3 format is the
ability to store CD-quality music tracks that are user-friendly and compressed on a personal
computer.
WMA (Windows Media Audio) is another audio file format, developed by Microsoft.
JPEG files are image files. Make sure that they have a resolution of less than 5 megapixels.
Note:The time taken for the contents of the disc to be displayed varies according to the size and number of
JPEG files actually on the disc. If nothing is displayed after a few minutes, it is likely that certain files are too
large. In this case, reduce the files’ resolution to less than 5 megapixels and write another disc.
Before inserting a disc, check that it is compatible with the player (page 10).
1. Open the disc compartment by pressing the OPEN button.
2. Place the disc in the tray with the printed side facing up.
