DVD video/DVD audio player operation
NOTE: The playback condition of some DVD discs may be
determined by a DVD software producer. This DVD player
plays a disc as the software producer intended. So, some
functions may not work properly. Be sure to read the
instruction manual for the DVD disc separately provided.
For the detailed information about DVD video discs, see
DVD video disc informationº on page 350.
Precautions for DVD video discs
When recording on a DVD video, DVD audio, video CD or
audio tracks may not record in some cases while the menu is
displayed. As audio will not play in this case, verify that the
video tracks are playing and then activate playback.
When playback of a disc is completed:
If an audio CD is playing, the first track starts.
If a DVD video, DVD audio or video CD is playing, playback
will stop or the menu screen will be displayed.
The title/chapter number and playback time display may not
appear while playing back certain DVD video discs.CAUTION
Conversational speech on some DVDs is recorded at a
low volume to emphasize the impact of sound effects.
If you adjust the volume assuming that the
conversations represent the maximum volume level
available for the DVD, you may be startled by louder
sound effects or when you change to a different audio
source. Loud sounds may have a significant impact on
the human body or pose a driving hazard. Keep this in
mind when you adjust the volume.
