How to Play Divx Discs
1. Turn on your DVD Player.
2. Press OPEN•CLOSE on your DVD Player.
3. Place the Divx disc into the tray (Divx logo facing up and make
sure the disc lays flat).
4. Press PLAY on your remote (the disc tray closes).
If YOUR PLAYER HAS NEVER PLAYED this disc before, it will
display the authorization screen illustrated at right. This screen lets you
know what options you have BEFORE you go ahead and play the
movie.
If the Divx disc is “brand new” and it has never been played on
any player, just highlight Play Movie on your TV screen and press OK.
The initial 2-day viewing period will begin and no charges will be
billed to your Divx account.

If the disc has been played on your player and there is still time
remaining in the viewing period, the Divx disc will begin playing
the movie automatically when the disc tray closes and it will not show
you the authorization screen.
Connect the Telephone Line Cord
You must connect the telephone line
cord to the back of your DVD Player
and to a working phone jack in order to
use all of the Divx features. (See p. 4).
Playback Features
To learn more about playback features
(reverse, skipping chapters, playing
frame by frame, etc.), go to page 22 in
the Playing Digital Video Discs section
of this book.
If the original viewing period on the Divx disc HAS BEEN USED
(i.e., the Divx disc’s 2-day viewing period has been played on your
player or on someone else’s player before), then the authorization
screen advises you that your account will be charged the amount
which appears on your TV screen. If you agree to the price, highlight
Play Movie and press the OK button on your remote control.
Notes:
• If the time remaining on any viewing period is less than the total playing
time of the movie, your player will play the entire movie without
additional charges. Once the viewing period expires, you may not be
able to use certain features such as stop or pause.
• The charge for additional viewing periods and the charge for purchasing
unlimited play (DivxSilver) may vary from title to title.
If the original viewing period on the Divx
disc has been used, an authorization
screen similar to the one above will
appear.
Note:
If you have more than one Divx enhanced DVD Player registered to
your account, you may play a Divx disc on any or all of those
players during the viewing period without incurring additional
charges. Remember that only the player which was used to begin
the viewing period will accurately track the elapsed time of the
viewing period. Therefore, the 2
nd
player will repeat the
authorization screen. Once the players call the Divx transaction
processing system, your account information will be updated to
correctly reflect the use of a single viewing period and no additional
charges will appear on your statement.
