What exactly is the "stop mode" when referring to a home theatre system?

Question

Most of the directions say..."From the stop mode, enter into"....blah blah....This may sound like a silly question but for some reason I am not sure if this is really a "mode" or if it is something else simple that I am overlooking :-) I dont see it listed as a mode anywhere in any of the menus or on the remote for my home theatre system.

Answer 1

never heard of stop mode.  what brand is your receiver?  or is this on the dvd player?  if that's the case, you must hit "stop" in order to get to the menu you want.

Answer 2

stop mode is when the dvd movie its not in play some of the dvd player menus cannot be access when the movie is playing so you need to stop it, thats what its mean when said from stop mode.
