Precautions on DVD video disc
When recording with a DVD video or video CD, audio tracks

playing and then activate playback.
When playback of a disc is completed:
If an audio CD is playing, the next CD will be selected and
playback will begin automatically.
If a DVD video or video CD is playing, playback will stop or
the menu screen will be displayed. The next disc will not
play back automatically. (Audio tracks cannot be heard
while the disc is stopped)
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
that the DVD will play, you may be startled by louder
sound effects or when you change to a different audio
source. The louder sounds may have a significant
impact on the human body or pose a driving hazard.
Keep this in mind when you adjust the volume.
