Playback
Open the drawer using the open/close key next to the drawer.
Place the disc with its printed side upward (if one-sided).
After a few seconds, the disc title (or, by default, the type of disc) appears with the image and audio
format information and its total duration (if this information is available).

Some discs automatically propose a menu.You can choose an item with the
keys and press ok to confirm your selection.
To stop the playback, press the STOP key.
This disc location is stored by the player: it is the “pickup memory”. If you press once more on the
PLAY key, playback will pick up where you left off.
If you press twice on the STOP key or if you unload the disc, this “pickup memory” will be lost: the
next playback will start at the beginning of the disc.
The DVD player remains in playback when you switch to TV mode
by pressing the tv/dvd key.
For example, this enables you to surf on TV channels without having
to interrupt the playing of the disc.
If the player is locked and the disc has been assigned a rating limit,
you must enter the password to play the disc (see page 17).
The discs capabilities (menus, access functions, dialogue and
sub-title languages, camera angles, interactivity) may vary
from one disc to the next. Please check the instructions given
on the disc. Some discs may have been pre-programmed so
as to render impossible some functions, such as skipping
chapters, still-frame and repeat play.

On some DVDs and Video CDs, this function allows you to enlarge
the image during a playback at normal speed or during a pause.The
zoom-in will be 1.5 or 2 or 4 times the normal size for DVDs and
twice the normal size for Video CDs.
When you press on this remote control key, the image centre is
enlarged.When the image is sufficiently enlarged. you can navigate
from one zone to the next with the
keys (on some
discs).

functions:
