eMake sure the line cords and speaker cables are as far away from the AC supply as possible.

Cannot play.

eReload the disc with the label side UP.

eThis unit cannot play such discs as CD-ROMs. Use a playable disc (see page 9).

eIf the disc is dirty, clean the surface of the disc.

eA blank disc has been loaded. Load a prerecorded disc. eCheck the region code of the DVD (see page 8).

eIf the unit is condensed, leave the unit for one or two hours with the power turned on (see page 43).

PROHIBIT icon “A” appears on the screen.

eThe operation is not permitted by the disc or the unit.

eIf another operation is still in process, wait a moment and try again.

Settings are canceled.

eWhen the power is suddenly cut due to power failure or by unplugging the power cord, settings will be cancelled. Be sure to turn the unit off by pressing the POWER switch before unplugging the power cord.

Cannot access some setup menu items.

eAlthough it is possible to enter the setup screen while playback is continuing (or in resume mode), not all menu functions will be available. Expand the number of available functions by pressing the STOP button twice (see page 30).

Scanning stops.

eScanning does not work within menus.

Sound skips.

ePlace the unit on a stable place to avoid vibration and shock. eIf the disc is dirty, clean the surface of the disc.

There is no sound or only a very low-level sound is heard. eCheck that the amplifier and speakers are connected

securely.

eFor digital multi-channel output, you must use a multi- channel surround amplifier, and set the Audio Digital Out settings to “Stream” (see page 37).

eSACD and DVD audio discs may have more than one group or playback area, not all of which contain multi-channel audio data. Choose another group or playback area (see page 20).

Overall volume is low, or balance between speakers is strange

eA speaker’s level (or that of a pair of speakers) has been set up too low or too high in the speaker setup (see page 37). Correct the levels.

eWhen the unit is downmixing multi-channel audio, the volume differs from the non-downmixed level. Use the amplifier to adjust the volume.

eWhen configuring speaker sizes, making “small” and “off” settings on speakers other than the subwoofer can affect the subwoofer volume. Adjust the level on the subwoofer itself (see page 36).
