Holding the discs by the edge, gently place each

This is the number for that specific disc position;
it will be used to indicate the disc in both the
Information Display and the on-screen displays.
When loading discs, please note the following:
• The DVD600
II
will play discs with the following
logos only. DO NOT attempt to play another
type of disc, as shown in the list on page 46.
• The DVD600
II
will only play discs in the NTSC
video format. It will not play discs for other
standards such as PAL or SECAM.
• Playback capability for CD-RW discs will vary
according to the quality of the CD-RW disc.
On some occasions, it is possible that CD-RW
discs may not play on the DVD600
II
. This does
not indicate any problem with the DVD600
II
.
• The DVD600
II
will only play discs that are
coded for Region 1 or discs that are open to
being played in all regions. Discs that contain
a Region Code of 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6 (as noted by a
number inside a world map logo on the disc’s
cover jacket or case) will not play.
• Both 5-inch (12cm) and 3-inch (8cm) discs may
be used.
• When loading CD audio discs, load the discs
with the label side up.
• When loading DVD discs with printed labels,
load them label side up.
• Some DVD discs are double-sided. The title
information for these will be printed on the
inner ring of the disc, very close to the center
hole. The title for the side you wish to play
should be facing up.
• The DVD600
II
is also capable of playing discs
containing MP3 audio files.
Notes on DVD-Audio discs:
• The DVD600
II
is not capable of playing selec-
tions in the DVD-Audio format. However, many
DVD-Audio discs include audio tracks in the
PCM, Dolby Digital or other formats which the

to press the
Title Button
x
rather than the

formats.
• Some DVD-Audio discs display a still picture
while a selection is playing. Sometimes, this
picture may disappear when play is stopped and
the DVD600
II
is placed in the Resume mode. To
restore the picture, fully stop play by pressing
the
Stop Button
twice before contin-
uing play.

you to the fact that the unit is determining the
type of disc (DVD, MP3 or CD) and is reading

mation about the disc. At the same time, the
Disc Number Indicator
for the disc in use

scroll to select any disc.
If the tray was closed by pressing one of the
five

front panel, the On Screen Library will not be
activated.
You may access the On Screen Library later by
stopping play of the current disc and pressing

Disc
Type Indicator
and the disc will begin
playing. The disc’s track timing information
and other relevant data will appear in the
Information Display
