playback will begin automatically.
If a DVD video or video CD is playing, playback will stop or

If you adjust the volume assuming that the
conversations represent the maximum volume level
that the DVD will play, you may be startled by louder
sound effects or when you change to a different audio
source. The louder sounds may have a significant
impact on the human body or pose a driving hazard.
Keep this in mind when you adjust the volume.
