GENERAL OPERATION NOTE
Your DVD Player supports many different types of media (CD-DA, DVD-Video, Video-CD, etc.). You will notice some slight differences
in operation between these types of media. THIS IS NORMAL. These differences occur because of the flexibility of these types of media.
At times you will have to read the instructions that appear on the video display screen when you insert a disc to determine what to do. It
is normal that not all buttons on the Remote Control will function for all types of media. Also some buttons will work with one DVD-Video
disc, but may work differently, or not at all, with a different DVD-Video disc.
For example, you may notice that you cannot use the number keys to select chapter on a DVD-Video, although you can use them to
select a track on an Audio disc. You may also notice that the TITLE button may function for some DVD-Video discs, but will either func-
tion differently or not at all on other DVD-Video discs.
The DVD player is also programmed to shut off when ever the vehicle is turned off. To resume playing a disc, simply push POWER on
the DVD player or PWR on the remote control.
