until
the disc tray

opens.
Hold the disc by the edge, and gently place it into the
disc drawer, making certain that the disc is properly
seated in the tray's insert. If the disc is not correctly
centered, you may damage both the disc and the player
when the drawer closes. When loading discs, please
note the following:
• The HS 100 will play discs with the following logos
as well as most DVD-RW or DVD+RW discs. DO
NOT attempt to play another type of disc.
• The HS 100 will only play discs in the NTSC video
format. It will not play discs for other standards
such as PAL or SECAM.
• Playback capability for CD-RW, DVD-RW, DVD-R,
DVD+RW or DVD+RW discs will vary according
to the quality of the disc. On some occasions it
is possible that these discs may not play on the
HS 100. This does not indicate any problem with
the HS 100.
• The HS 100 will only play discs that are coded for
Region 1 or Region 0 discs, which are able to be
played in all regions. Discs that contain a Region
Code of 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6 (as noted by a number
inside a world map logo on the disc’s cover jacket
or case) will not play.
• Both 5-inch (12cm) and 3-inch (8cm) discs
may be used.
• When loading CD audio discs, load the discs
with the label side up.
• When loading DVD discs with printed labels,
load them label side up.
• Some DVD discs are double-sided. The title infor-
mation for these will be printed on the inner ring of
the disc, very close to the center hole. The title for
the side you wish to play should be facing up.
After a disc is properly loaded, press the Open/Close
Button
9
1
to close the disc drawer. After the
drawer closes, you will see a brief indication of
Reading in both the Information Display 8
and in the on-screen display to alert you to the fact
that the unit is determining the type of disc (DVD, CD,
VCD or MP3) and is reading the data for track, chapter,
title and other information about the disc.
Once the disc’s data has been read, the disc will auto-
matically begin playing.
• When a DVD is detected, playback will automatically
begin and the screen will show the program or the
disc’s menu, depending on how the disc has been
created.
• If a CD is detected, playback will begin automatically
and the screen will show the Info menu with infor-
mation about the disc, including the number of
tracks and the playback time. To remove this menu
from the screen, press the Clear Button x.
If a disc is already in the drawer when the unit is
turned on, it will begin playing. If the disc was stopped
using the Resume function, playback will begin from
the point where it was stopped. If the disc was
stopped by pressing the Stop Button
5
I
twice,
the disc will begin playing from its beginning.

Search Buttons 23 briefly until fast play begins
and then release them. Press the buttons again to
cycle through the available speeds. Once one of

K
is pressed. Note that
the fast-play speeds are different for the various
disc types.
NOTE: Fast search is not available when MP3 or WMA
discs are playing.
When a DVD-Video disc is playing, you may move for-
ward or backward through the disc in slow motion by
first pressing the Pause Button h and then press-
ing the Skip/Step Next/Previous Buttons
FG
.
Each press will cycle the player through one of the
four slow-play speeds. Press the Play Button
hu to resume normal playback. For VCD and
SVCD discs, there are only two forward and reverse
slow-play speeds.
Note that there is no audio playback during fast- or
slow-forward or -reverse play of DVD discs. This
is normal for DVD, as A/V receivers and surround
processors cannot process the digital audio streams
during slow modes. Slow-play is not available for
DVD-Audio or CD discs.
NOTES: Playback features may not be available during
the opening credits of a movie. This is intended by the
disc author and is not a failure of the HS 100.
Playback of a DVD with 96kHz/24-bit audio requires
the use of circuitry normally used for other features.
Accordingly, Slow Play Reverse and Step Advance
features are not available with these discs.
Depending on the structure of a VCD disc, the functions
Slow Reverse and Step Reverse may be prohibited or
have no function and Fast Playback (Search) may not
function.
• When a camera icon shows on the screen, or the
Angle Indicator
H appears, this is your indication
that there is multiple-angle information on the disc
being played. To change the angle, press the Angle
Button
L
until the desired angle view appears.
An on-screen banner message will appear to indi-
cate the angle view in use.
