'King Kong' HD DVD question

How do I access u-control on the US King Kong disc on my Toshiba HD-E1?

I've gone into the menu mid-film, and clicked on u-control, to turn it on.

It shows as being 'on', but...that's it.

What do I do next?

Sorry for being thick.

Re: 'King Kong' HD DVD question

when a little icon appears at the side just press enter on the remote (i think!). That should pop up the available items, e.g. stills, video, info etc. Then you can use the remote arrow buttons to pick the one you want, pressing enter again.

Its a neat little gimmick, although I haven't really watched any of it yet!

Re: 'King Kong' HD DVD question

Could anyone confirm if both the UK and US discs have this U Control thing.

Also, do the HD-DVD's of KK that were given away with HD-DVD Drives have this feature as well?

TIA
