2. Press and hold the PX-712UF's eject button for at least 3 seconds.
The disc/busy indicator blinks green three times to indicate
SpeedRead will be active for DVD-Video discs with CSS copy
protection.
3. Release the eject button. The disc tray opens.
4. Insert a DVD-Video disc that is equipped with CSS copy protection.
5. Begin playing the disc.
