Playing a disc
During normal use the DVD player should be left in the standby
state. This uses a negligible amount of electricity, but ensures
that the components of the DVD player operate at maximum
efficiency from the moment you start playing a disc.
If you are not going to use the DVD player for a period of several
days you should switch the unit completely off, at the back
panel, and disconnect it from the AC power supply.
To switch on from standby
Press Open, *, or > (front panel), or select a source on the
remote.
Switch on any other equipment connected to the CD player
which is not part of the Meridian 500 Series.
The display will flash for a few seconds. The DVD player is then
ready for use.
To insert a disc
Press Open (front panel) or Function * (remote) to open the
tray.
Place your disc, label side up, in the tray as shown below.
Press Open (front panel), Function * (remote) or > to close
the tray.
Most DVD videos start playing automatically when you close the
tray.
Some DVD videos are double-sided, and need to be turned over
during play.
