OK, this could be another record post, but I had to share it. Thanks to a caller to Buzz Out Loud, I learned the secret to starting a DVD quickly (skipping the trailers and warnings at the beginning). I know, you’re excited already! I tried it on my HD-DVD Toshiba player and it worked like a champ (I know, I lost the Blu-Ray battle).
Anyway, to keep those ancy children at bay when starting a disc, all you do is press (once the disc starts playing):
STOP/STOP/PLAY
Yep, that’s all there is to it. Enjoy your sanity . . . you don’t even have to hear the Disney Fast Play message . . . aaaaah.
Oh, and if it doesn’t work for you, please come back here and post a comment. Thanks!
