How do I access the disc groups?

I just received a much anticipated DVD-Audio disc of the Doors, and to my dismay, when I put it into my ELS system, it said "unsupported"!! I'm hoping that I can access a subset of the disc groups that may be on the disc and play the correct one. What button combo works on the 4g to access the disc groups?

Just hold down the "DISC" button for a couple of seconds and the group will change. The display will even show what group you're in.
I have the "LA Woman" DVD-A and it plays fine in my TL. I wonder if the disc you have is actually DVD-A?

Thanks for your idea, the idea works, the disc still does not. It says on both the disc and the case that it is DVD-Audio. I am returning it and getting another copy.

One thing to note about the TL, it can only read DVD-Audio and not DVD-Video. The files on a DVD-A are in the AUDIO_TS directory and on a DVD-V they're in the VIDEO_TS directory.
One example is Primus "Sailing the Seas of Cheese". It claims to be a DVD-A but the files are in the VIDEO_TS directory and therefore won't play in my TL. Same goes for Queen "A Night at the Opera", won't play in my TL.
If your computer has a DVD player you can look at the directory structure and see where the files are.

^^ Interesting. I have "A Night at the Opera" and it plays fine in my car. There must be different versions out there?

Sorry, you're right about that, I bought the CD/DVD combo, not the DVD-A. The DVD I bought has the songs in DTS 5.1 but they're in the video directory and therefore won't play on a TL.
I actually downloaded the DTS CD version of that album and burned it to CD and it sounds great in my TL.

I guess the same goes for the Primus disc, it's a combo and the DVD is labeled as a DVD-A but it's actually a video disc.

Which kind of goes back to what I was saying, make sure it's not a video disc.

Agree, especially when buying on-line. Many people sell discs as "DVD-A" when in fact they aren't.
