Using the DVD Disc’s Menu

One of the unique features of the DVD system is
that it offers a producer the opportunity to include
a wide range of features on a disc, including 
multiple-language tracks; subtitles in a variety
of languages; special information such as movie
trailers and cast information; as well as other
custom-tailored information. In addition, produc-
ers may divide a movie or program into chapters
that allow for quick access to specific parts of the
program. These chapters may be accompanied
by thumbnail pictures of a scene from the 
specific chapter to help you select the desired
spot on the disc.

When a disc is playing, press the 

Menu Button

z

to pause the playback and display the disc’s

menu. As there are no hard rules about style
and content of DVD menus, the way they appear
on the screen and the information they contain
will vary from one disc to another. However, the
following general rules apply to most menus:

• The first menu that appears is the Main

Menu, and you may move through the options
with the 

⁄

/

¤

/

‹

/

›

Buttons

y

`

as the disc’s programming allows. The

option selected will typically be highlighted in
a certain color or inside an outline box.

• To select a highlighted option, which may

either play a portion of the disc or move to 
a submenu, press the 

Enter Button

or 

Play/Pause Button

.
