Operation
Turning your system on and off
You can turn your system on and off using the On/Off button ( ) on the remote control or
the power button ( ) on top of the media center. When you turn it on with either button, the
source that was played last is automatically selected.
You can also press any source button on the remote to turn the system on and select the
source at the same time.
Before you play your first DVD
Before you play the first DVD, make sure:
• that you are familiar with how the system remote control operates (as explained on page
22).
• the region codes for the DVD player and disc match, as explained on page 5 of this guide.
(Check the region code number on the media center label or on the shipping carton.)
• the TV is properly set for video input from the DVD player (see the Important Note on page
16).
Before you select some system features, you also may want to confirm that the disc is
encoded for that feature. For example, in order to display subtitles while watching a movie,
the disc must contain subtitle information.
