Audio Systems: DVD FF, fbi logo, player manufacturers

Question
Hi, I'm wondering if there's a way of FFing past the annoying parts at the beginning of a DVD.  When I press FF or Menu a red NO sign shows up.  Most annoying....

It's a Panasonic if that makes any diff.

Thank you!

Answer
Dear Tracee,

Sorry. The DVD makers, DVD player manufacturers, and the movie industry agreed a long time ago that the FBI logo, the private viewing message, and the non-duplication warning were to be un-FFable or otherwise unskippable. However, I've found that you can skip the interminable previews on many DVDs by simply pressing "Menu" on the remote. That usually takes you to the main menu.

Good luck. And thanks for choosing allexperts.com!

Kindest regards,
