Hi Sharon,
You really have to look at you DVD player manual. I thought my DVD player would program the way I wanted it to but it did not. I did not realize that there is a big difference in DVD players. If you go to videofitness.com and click on the article on What to know about DVD players it would probally be a big help. It helped me and I went out and got a different player. Hope this helps.
