I don't get why you would consider this to be so. DVD's are very
simple: You put a disc (made the same way a CD is for 1 layer discs)
into a device and close the door. The machine plays the Disc. This
usually involves a non-bypassable FBI warning and possibly previews,
then you get to simple menu, where pressing OK or Play starts the
film (unless you need to change some language settings or something,
because the Play menu option is almost always the default option).
You can otherwise navigate the menu using the arrow buttons and
select the option you want using the OK button. All very simple and
easy.
DVD region codes. NTSC or PAL? Stereo or 5.1? Dolby or DTS? Component
or HDMI? Upscale to 720P or 1080i?
