Chapter 3: Playing Discs
Regional Coding
Both the TV/DVD unit and the 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 unit's code is region 1.
Using Different Menus
Each disc is programmed with different features. There are three separate menu paths that you can use
to access features:
• The Disc menu – The disc menu is part of each disc and is separate from the DVD's menu system. The
contents of each disc menu vary according to how the disc was authored and what features are
included. The disc menu is turned on and off (while the disc is playing) with the DISC MENU button
on the remote.
• The DVD's Info Display – The Info Display appears as icons across the top of the screen when a disc
is playing. It can only be accessed while you are playing a disc. It's turned on and off with the INFO
button on the remote.
• The DVD's menu system – The DVD's menu system is accessed only when a disc isn't playing. It
appears automatically when the STOP button is pressed.
A feature will only work if the disc was programmed with that feature. If a menu item is "grayed out" it
means that item isn't available.
Loading and Playing Discs
Your TV/DVD unit plays DVD discs, Video CD discs, Audio CD discs, mp3 discs, CD-R discs, and CDs with
JPEG files. Before you load a disc, make sure that it is compatible with the player. The following discs
CANNOT be used with this player:
• Laserdiscs, CD-I, CD-ROM (computer-only discs), CD-RW, DVD-ROM, Discs recorded using other
broadcast standards (i.e. PAL or SECAM)
This is an example of
a one-sided disc.

To Load and Play a Disc
To put the TV/DVD in DVD mode and play a disc, press the DVD button on the
remote control.
1. Press the OPEN•CLOSE button on the front of the TV/DVD. The disc tray opens.
2. Place a disc gently into the tray with the disc's label facing up (double-sided
discs have content on both sides, so you can place either side up).
3. Press the OPEN•CLOSE or PLAY button. The disc tray closes.
The TV/DVD reads the disc's table of contents, and then one of three things
happens depending on how the disc was programmed:
• The disc starts playing.
• The disc menu appears on the screen. One of the options will start disc
play. Highlight that option and press OK on the remote.
• The DVD's main menu appears on the screen. Highlight the Play option and
press OK on the remote.
The unit remembers the five most recent discs (DVD or Video CD only) played and
begins playback at the approximate point which the disc was last stopped. To
resume normal playback, press the DISC MENU button and choose PLAY from the
Disc main menu.
