The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol, within an equilateral triangle, is intended to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated "dangerous voltage" within the product's enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to persons. These labels can be found on the DVD/CD tuner rear panel and bottom panel and on the powered subwoofer rear panel. [. . . ] When playing a DVD-Video disc recorded with dialog in two or more languages, you can switch audio language during playback. Some discs only allow you to change audio language from the disc menu. Using the zoom feature you can magnify a part of the screen by a factor of 2 or 4, while watching a DVD-Video, DVD-Audio or Video CD.

If the navigation square at the top of the screen disappears, press ZOOM again to display it.

They will reappear when you return the screen to normal. Some DVD-Video discs feature scenes shot from two or more angles--check the disc box for details. When a multi-angle scene is playing, a icon appears on screen to let you know that other angles are available (this can be switched off if you prefer--see Angle Indicator on page 67). During playback (or when paused), press ANGLE to switch angle.
