[. . . ] Note that at present, few discs take advantage of this capability and, when they do, the multiple-angle technology may only be present for short periods of time within the disc. Producers will usually insert some sort of icon or graphic in the picture to alert you to the availability of multiple viewing angles. Reading: This is a message that you will see after you've loaded the disc and the tray has closed. It refers to the fact that the player must first examine the contents of the disc to see whether it is a CD or DVD, and then extract the information about the type of material on the disc, such as languages, aspect ratios, subtitles, number of titles and more. The slight delay while the contents of the disc are read is normal. Resume: The operation of the Stop Button on the DVD works differently from what you are used to on CD players. On a traditional CD player, when you press the Stop button, the unit does just that ­ it stops playback. On a CD player, when you press the Start button again, the disc starts from the beginning. With the DVD, however, you have two options when playing DVD discs. Pressing Stop once will stop playback, but it actually puts the unit in the Resume mode. This means that you can turn the machine off and, when you press Play the next time, the disc will resume or continue from the point on the disc where the Stop button was pressed. This is helpful if you are watching a movie and must interrupt your viewing session but wish to pick up where you left off. Pressing the Stop button twice will stop the machine in a traditional manner and, when the disc is played again, it will start from the beginning. DVD Basics · The types of functions and operations that can be used for a particular disc vary depending on the features of that disc. In some cases, these functions and operations may differ from the descriptions given in this manual. In this event, follow the instructions given on the screen. This manual only covers basic disc operations. · For some operations, the icon may appear on the screen. This indicates that the operation described in this manual is not available on the disc currently in the player. Disc Handling Precautions · To keep the disc clean, handle the disc by its edge. Do not touch the surface. · Do not stick paper or tape on the disc. If there is glue (or a similar substance) on the disc, remove the glue completely before using the disc. · Do not expose the disc to direct sunlight or sources such as hot air ducts, or leave it in a car parked in direct sunlight, as there can be a considerable rise in temperature inside the car. [. . . ] · Multilingual sound is not recorded on the DVD. · Changing the language for the sound is prohibited on the DVD. The subtitle language cannot be changed when you play a DVD. · Multilingual subtitles are not recorded on the DVD. [. . . ]
