(a) 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 soft-
ware producer intended. So some
functions may not work properly. Be
sure to read the manual for the DVD
video disc separately provided. For
the detailed information about DVD
video discs, see “(c) DVD player and
DVD video disc information” on page
222.
z Precautions on DVD video disc
When recording with a DVD video, 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 acti-
vate playback.
When playback of a disc is completed:
z If a DVD video is playing, playback
will stop or the menu screen will be
displayed.
The title/chapter number and playback
time display may not appear while play-
ing back certain DVD video discs.
CAUTION
Conversational speech on some
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 rep-
resent the maximum volume level
that the DVD will play, you may be
startled by louder sound effects or
when you change to a different au-
dio source. The louder sounds may
have a significant impact on the
human body or pose a driving haz-
ard. Keep this in mind when you
adjust the volume.
