Therefore, never try to disas-
semble the player or alter any of
its parts since you may be ex-
posed to laser rays and danger-
ous voltages.

(d) Operating a DVD disc
NOTE: The playback condition of some
DVD discs may be determined by a DVD
software producer. This DVD changer
plays a disc as the software producer in-
tended. So some functions may not work
properly. Be sure to read the instruction
manual for the DVD disc separately pro-
vided. For the detailed information about
DVD video discs, see (g) DVD player and
DVD video disc informationº on page 244.
Precautions on DVD video disc
When recording with a DVD video, DVD
audio 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 play-
ing and then activate playback.
When playback of a disc is completed:
If an audio CD or MP3/WMA disc is
playing, the first track or file 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.

DVDs is recorded at a low volume to
emphasize the impact of sound ef-
fects. If you adjust the volume as-
suming that the conversations repre-
sent 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 signif-
icant impact on the human body or
pose a driving hazard. Keep this in
mind when you adjust the volume.
This DVD Hint!º screen appears when
the video screen is first displayed after
the ENGINE START STOPº switch is in
