some cases while the menu is displayed.
As audio will not play in this case, verify
that the video tracks are playing and then
activate playback.
The title/chapter number and playback
time display may not appear while playing
back certain DVD video discs.CAUTION
Conversational speech on some DVDs
is recorded at a low volume to em-
phasize the impact of sound effects.

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