(e) Operating a DVD video disc
NOTE: The playback condition of some
DVD video discs may be determined by a
DVD video software producer. This DVD
player plays a disc as the software pro-
ducer intended. So some functions may
not work properly. Be sure to read the in-
struction manual for the DVD video disc
separately provided. For the detailed in-
formation
about DVD video discs, see “(h)
DVD player and DVD video disc informa-
tion”.
Precautions on DVD video disc
When recording with a DVD video or video
CD, 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.

If an audio CD is playing, the first track
starts.
If a DVD video 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 empha-
size 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.

video screen is first displayed after you
