Introduction

Most of the features described in this chapter make use
of on-screen displays. Navigate these using the cursor
buttons and ENTER. To go back one level from any
screen, use the RETURN button.
Remember also that the button guide at the bottom of
every screen shows which buttons do what.
Many of the functions covered in this chapter apply to the
HDD, DVD discs, Video CDs, Super VCDs, WMA/MP3/
DivX discs and CDs, although the exact operation of
some varies slightly with the kind of disc loaded.

playing in PBC mode. Stop playback, then press
for non-PBC playback.
