• Player menus – your player has menus enabling you to use functions that are not accessible
using the remote control unit keys.The player menu is displayed when the player is not
playing a disc (in STOP mode).
Note: settings will only function if the corresponding function has been provided by the editor. For instance, if
you select the subtitle icon in the banner, subtitles will only appear if they actually exist on the disc. Check
the sleeve to see what subtitles are provided. If a menu or icon appears in “grey” it means that the function
is not available.
