the TV screen according to the type of loaded disc. In this case,

or menu display does not begin automatically, press PLAY.
• A prohibition message "Depending on the disc, this operation
may be prohibited" or "This operation can't be performed" may
appear at the screen. This message means either the feature
you tried is not available on the disc, or the unit cannot access

unit.

wrong way up) "Loading" will appear on the display and then
"Can't play disc" will be displayed.
• Some playback operations of DVDs may be intentionally fixed
by software producers. Since this unit plays DVDs according to
the disc content recorded, some playback features may not be
available. Also refer to the instructions supplied with the DVDs.
