Italian translation:riproduzione, pausa, arresto
Explanation:
If I am not wrong, this is the only complete translation without Anglicisms. However, most of the above are also common and more or less correct. Just to show you the ample choice you have.

Explanation:
The symbols are the same - so I think you can leave them like this (maybe you can translate Pause-pausa). The other two are very well understood. Bye

(pulsante di) avvio, pausa, arresto


Explanation:
This is only if you really want to translate these terms. As far as I know 'play, pause, and stop' are commonly used on Italian appliances.

Play, pause, stop


Explanation:
In all the manuals I have seen, these terms are left in the original English, also because the actual buttons on the video machine would have the English terms.

Explanation:
I am repeating what other have just said, only because most 'Instructions for use' actually do NOT traslate commands, but leave them in English and explain their operation procedures.
