Before Playing a Disc...

Make sure that the disc is compatible with the DVD/VCR player. There are some discs that
cannot be used with this player.
Also, both the DVD player and discs are coded by region. These regional codes must match in
order for the disc to play. If the codes don't match, the disc won't play. This player's code is
region 1.

Playing an MP3 Disc

Your DVD/VCR can play MP3 files burned on a CD-R disc. The files should be recorded at a bit
rate of at least 128 kbps and have no gaps, or blank data. If there are gaps on multi-session
discs, you may experience problems. You may also experience sound cutting in and out on
discs that are recorded with a Variable Bit Rate (VBR), which is from 32 to 320 kbps.
To play MP3s:
1. Insert the disc. The MP3 main menu will appear and the first song will begin automatically.
2. Use the up and down arrow buttons to select the folder that contains the MP3 files you
want to hear.
3. Press SETUP/ENTER to select it. If there are more than eight folders, use the left and right
buttons to view the folders.
4. Press SETUP/ENTER again to play the selected song. While playing, you can view
other folders.
5. To stop the playback, press the STOP button on the remote.

Playing a DVD or CD

To play a disc, turn on the TV and your DVD/VCR (press ON•OFF on the player or the remote).
Then follow the below steps.
1. Press the OPEN/CLOSE button on the front of the DVD/VCR.
2. Place a disc gently into the tray with the disc's label facing up. Double-sided discs have
content on both sides, so place the disc in the tray with the desired label facing up.
3. Make sure you are in DVD mode by pressing the DVD button on the remote and checking
that the DVD deck is selected.
4. Press the OPEN/CLOSE button on the front of the player to close the disc tray.
The DVD/VCR player reads the disc's table of contents, and then one of two things happens
depending on how the disc was programmed:
• The disc starts playing.
• The disc menu appears on the screen. One of the menu options will start disc play. Use
the arrow buttons to highlight that option and press SETUP/ENTER.
To completely stop playback, press the STOP button twice. The next time you press PLAY/
PAUSE, the disc will start over from the beginning.
To stop playback so you can start it later from the point that the disc stopped, press the STOP
button once.
