Remote Control Storage
The video screen(s) come with a built in storage compart-
ment for the remote control which is accessible when the
screen is opened. To remove the remote, use your index
finger to pull and rotate the remote towards you. Do not
try to pull the remote straight down as it will be very
difficult to remove. To return the remote back into its
storage area, insert one long edge of the remote into the
two retaining clips first, and then rotate the remote back
up into the other two retaining clips until it snaps back
into position.

DVD/Blu-ray™/BD Region Codes
The DVD player/Blu-ray™ Player and many DVD/

region codes must match in order for the disc to play. If
the region code for the DVD/Blu-ray™ Disc does not
match the region code for the player, the disc will stop
playing and a warning will be displayed. DVD Audio Support
When a DVD-Audio disc is inserted in the DVD player,
the DVD-Audio title on the disc is played by default
(most DVD-Audio discs also have a Video title, but the
Video title is ignored). All multi - channel program
material is automatically mixed down to two channels,
which may result in a lowered apparent volume level. If
you increase the volume level to account for this change
in level, remember to lower the volume before changing
the disc or to another mode.
Recorded Discs
The DVD player will play CD-R and CD-RW discs
recorded in CD-Audio or Video-CD format, or as a
CD-ROM containing MP3, WMA or AAC (Blu-ray™ Disc
Player only) files. The player will also play DVD-Video
content recorded to a DVD-R or DVD-RW disc. DVD-
ROM discs (either pressed or recorded) are not sup-
ported.
