NOTE: Due to differences in the formats of certain discs, some discs may include a mix of
features, some of which are not compatible with the disc player. Similarly, although Blu-ray
Disc recordings and DVDs are capable of a wide range of features, not every disc includes
every capability of its system. For example, although the BDS receiver is compatible with
multi-angle discs, the multi-angle feature is possible only when the disc is specially encoded
for multiple-angle play. To make certain that a specific feature or soundtrack option is
available, please check the options noted on the disc jacket.
The playback capability of recordable discs may vary due to variations in the quality of the
disc and the recorder used to create the disc.
Loading and Playing Discs
Hold the disc horizontally when loading it, and insert it gently into the Disc slot. The disc
loading mechanism will take the disc and slide it into the unit.
Do not load more than one disc into the Disc slot.

Do not load the disc upside down.

After loading a disc into the player, press the Play button to begin playback.

Slow buttons to control disc playback. See Remote Control Functions, on page 8, for more
