Operating the Disc player
Basic functions
For all the functions described in this section the Disc Player must be
selected as listening source. The first step is to switch the
to Disc
Player mode by pressing the
button on the remote control handset.
Inserting a CD
• Open the disc drawer by pressing the
button on the front panel of the
central unit (long press on the
button on the F100 / FM100).
• Place the disc centrally in the appropriate depression in the drawer, with the
side to be played facing down.
• Close the drawer by briefly pressing the
button on the front panel of
the central unit (long press on the
button on the F100 / FM100).
When the drawer is closed the machine reads the disc. Once read, the disc can
be started.
If you see the message ‘UNKNOWN’ on the screen after the disc is read, then
the disc in the drawer is a format which the
is unable to play (see
chapter ‘Compatible formats’ at the end of the chapter).
Starting the disc
If the disc in the drawer is a Music CD or Video CD (VCD, S-VCD), the
machine will read the disc data, and you can then start playback by pressing
the
/
button.
The behaviour of a DVD after it has been read is determined by the DVD itself,
and may vary slightly from one disc to another. In most cases an introductory
message appears on the screen when the DVD has been read, followed by a
menu (DISC MENU).
You can navigate within this menu using the cursor buttons, and select various
points such as language, sub-titles and sound format. To activate or select a
menu point, use the cursor buttons to move to it, then press the
button.
When you have selected all the desired settings, start the film (generally by
selecting the menu point ‘Play film’).

button. By this means you can call up all the Disc Menu functions
