Philips 27DVCR55S - Manual (Page 13)

Playing a Disc 13
• If you turn off the unit in DVD
mode, when you turn it on again,
it will be in TV/VCR mode.
• An ‘’X” will appear on the screen
when you try to access a feature
that is not available. This is not a
problem with the TV/VCR/DVD.
• If a Disc is dirty or scratched, the
picture may be distorted or play
may stop. Remove the Disc and
try a different one.
• Press OPEN/CLOSE A (DVD) or
PLAY B (DVD) on the front of the
TV/VCR/DVD when the power is
off. This turns on the unit in DVD
mode (not TV/VCR mode).
• If a Disc has multiple layers, the
picture may freeze occasionally.
This happens when the first layer
switches to the second layer. This
is not a malfunction.
• Pressing SELECT during Disc play
stops Disc play and switches the
unit to TV/VCR mode. Pressing
PLAY B (VCR) on the front of the
unit during Disc play stops Disc
play and starts tape play.
