Make sure that you refer to the instructions 
supplied with the DVDs. Some DVDs made for 
business purposes may not play on the player.
Regional codes
This DVD player is designed and 
manufactured for playback of Region 1 
encoded DVD software. The region 
code on the labels of some DVDs 
indicates which type of player can play those 
discs. This player can only play DVDs labeled 1 
or ALL. If you try to play any other discs, the 
message Check Regional Code appears on the 
television screen. Some DVDs that have no 
region code label may still be subject to area 
restrictions and therefore not playable.

reference number to make it easy for you to 
locate it.
Chapter (DVD video discs only)

Some discs may not have chapters.
Track (Audio CD only)
Tracks are sections of a musical piece on an 
audio CD. Each track is assigned a track number

Audio glossary
DTS
Lets you enjoy 5.1(or six) discrete channels of 
high quality digital audio from DTS program 
sources such as DVDs and CDs bearing the 
trademark. DTS Digital Surround delivers up to 
six channels of transparent audio and results in 
exceptional clarity throughout a true 360 degree 
sound field. The term DTS is a trademark of 
DTS Technology, LLC. This player is 
manufactured under license from DTS 
Technology, LLC.
Dolby Digital
The Dolby Digital surround format lets you enjoy 
up to 5.1 channels of digital surround sound 
from a Dolby Digital program source. If you play 
DVDs with the
mark, you can enjoy even
better sound quality, greater spatial accuracy, 
and improved dynamic range.
Pro Logic
Use this mode when playing a movie or Dolby 
Digital 2 channel which carries the
mark.
This mode provides the effect of being in a 
movie theatre or live concert house—an effect 
with an intensity which can only be obtained 
through Dolby Pro Logic Surround. The effect of 
the front, back, left, and right movement of the 
sound image, as well as the sense of fixed 
position in the sound image, is much clearer and 
more dynamic than before.
Pro Logic (II)
Dolby Pro Logic II creates five full-bandwidth 
output channels from two-channel sources. This 
is done using an advanced, high-purity matrix 
surround decoder that extracts the spatial 
properties of the original recording without 
adding any new sounds or tonal colorations.
Movie mode
The Movie mode is for use with stereo television 
shows and all programs encoded in Dolby 
Surround. The result is enhanced sound field 
directionality that approaches the quality of 
discrete 5.1-channel sound.
Music mode
The Music mode is for use with any stereo music 
recordings.
Matrix mode
The Matrix mode is the same as the Music mode 
except that the directional enhancement logic is 
turned off. It may be used to enhance mono 
signals by making them seem 
larger
.
3D SURROUND
This player can produce a 3D surround effect, 
using 3D Surround Sound technology, which 
simulates multi-channel audio playback from two 
conventional stereo speakers instead of the five 
or more speakers normally required to listen to 
multi-channel audio from a home theatre. This 
feature works with DVDs encoded with Dolby 
Pro Logic and Dolby Digital audio tracks.
BYPASS
Software with multichannel surround audio 
signals is played according to the way it was 
recorded.
Sound mode
You can enjoy surround sound by selecting one 
of the pre-programmed sound fields according to 
the program you want to listen to.
DVD playback
You can change the Digital Audio Output mode 
by pressing the AUDIO button on the remote 
control during playback. Although the DVD 
contents differ from disc to disc, the following 
explains the basic operation when this feature is
