(e) 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
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
“(h) DVD player and DVD video disc
information” on page 241.
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 au-
dio 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 or MP3 disc is playing,
the first track or file 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
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.
