A DVD which contains a movie may have only one title with many or no chapter divisions. Karaoke DVDs may have many titles, assigning a title to each song on the disc. Menu screens do not belong to any title. DVD player functions generally apply to titles on a disc or chapters within a selected title. The player functions available may also vary from title to title, depending on the disc. When discs have a unique title division, it should be noted that search and program functions may be affected. Title 1 Chapter 2 Title 2 Chapter 2 How to Proceed in This Manual DVD is an incredible format that presents the highest quality digital audio and video available today. The amount of information that can be recorded onto a DVD disc is remarkable, allowing it to offer numerous functions and features available with no other format. Because using the DVD player and DVDs may be confusing at first, following the order below should help you get through the important stages of getting set up so you can start using your player as soon as possible. Get familiar with the player. Refer to the section "Before Using" on page 8 to confirm that all the accessories were included with the player. If you are new to DVD, it might be beneficial for you to go through the "Names and Functions" section starting on page 10 to get familiar with the parts and buttons on the main unit and remote control as they will be referred to throughout this manual. There is also a list of terms that can be found on page 54 if you are having trouble understanding some of the terminology associated with DVD. Chapter 1 Chapter 1 DVD Make the necessary connections. No entertainment system seems to be set up exactly the same way. The "Making Connections" section starting on page 15 shows how video and audio connections may be made to suit your home entertainment system. Video CD/CD Video CDs and CDs are divided into units referred to as tracks (Video CD tracks may also be referred to as scenes). One song generally corresponds to one track. Some tracks are further divided into units referred to as indexes. Video CDs with PBC (Playback Control) also contain menus recorded on the disc which enable easy access to the contents of the disc. When played back on a DVD player, both Video CDs and CDs are considered to be a single title, regardless of the number of tracks. Track 1 Track 2 Track 3 Track 4 Set up the necessary player menus. Before you can begin to enjoy the benefits of the DVD format, you should set up the player to output the video and audio information that corresponds to your system. The section "Setting Up the Player" starting on page 19 explains how to use the Setup screen menus as well as how to make the necessary initial adjustments. The Setup screen menus are used in a number of functions. Learning the procedure for operating the menus will make using this player much easier and more enjoyable. Play a disc.
