Operating the DVD600

II

DVD Changer

• On some discs, when you select the DVD

menu during the playback of a movie, the disc
will return to the point in the program where
the menu was selected by offering a “Play
Movie” option. Press the 

Enter Button

or 

Play/Pause Button

to

resume play. However, not all discs offer this
feature, and selecting the menu while playing
a movie may mean that you will either have
to go back to the beginning of the program or
the start of a chapter. This feature is out of
the control of the DVD600

II

, as it is set by the

disc’s internal programming. 

• Some DVD discs also feature a Chapter

Selection menu. Press the 

Title Button

x

to proceed directly to the disc’s Chapter
Selection option.

IMPORTANT NOTES 

ON DVD PLAYBACK

Due to the nature of this product category, DVD
players, while being operated at elevated tem-
peratures, may exhibit certain anomalies such
as picture freeze-ups. If this occurs, the
DVD600

II

needs to be “reset” by powering it

down and up again, using its master On/Off
switch. Should this occur with your DVD600

II

,

first check your discs for any damage, scratches
and fingerprints. If discs are OK, then ventilation
around the DVD600

II

needs to be increased to

ensure proper operation.

The DVD600

II

is capable of all the features and

options covered by the DVD standards. However,
it is up to the producer of a DVD disc to decide
which of those features and functions are avail-
able on any given disc. For that reason, not all
discs will function identically, and some discs
will not have many of the features of the DVD
system. For example, most current DVD discs do
not take advantage of the multiple-angle fea-
ture. When the player displays the “Feature
Prohibited” icon “

”, this indicates that the disc

has not been programmed for that feature.

In addition, it is common for the producers of
DVD discs to block the use of certain functions
during only some parts of a disc. For example,
many discs prohibit the use of fast-play buttons
or prohibit access to the Chapter Menu display
during the playback of copyright notices, studio
logos, movie credits or trailers. The appearance
of the “Feature Prohibited” icon “

”, or the

inability of certain features to operate when the
disc itself has prohibited them, does not indi-
cate a problem with the DVD600

II

, as these fea-

tures are outside of the unit’s control. 

Using the Menu Bar

The DVD600

II

is equipped with a powerful on-

screen display system that serves the dual pur-
pose of showing you the current status of the
DVD600

II

while enabling quick and easy

changes to settings and functions. Depending
on whether a DVD or CD is in use, the menu will
vary to display information that is specific to the
type of disc in play.

Selecting Titles and Chapters

Some discs contain more than one title.
Remember that a disc may contain one title or
two separate program titles, or the disc may use
the Title function to separate the special feature
sections or audio tracks on the disc. The use of
titles is optional with the producer of each DVD
disc, as is the way in which he/she may choose
to implement the feature. You may directly
access any chapter while the disc is playing or
in Pause mode simply by entering its number
using the remote.

To change the title on those discs using the
Menu Status Bar, follow these steps:

1. 

During disc playback, press the

this button will vary from disc to disc. On occa-
sion, pressing this button will take you to the
disc’s main menu while, in other cases, pressing
this button will result in no action at all.

The movies or programs on most discs are divided
into individual chapters, as selected by the
disc’s producer. Using the on-screen Menu Bar,
you may view the number of the current chapter
and move to any chapter on the disc.
