composite or S video connection and go to the video setup menu and change the output to Interlaced.

Screen is stretched or aspect does not change.

·The TV Screen setting in the Initial Settings menu is incorrect. Set it correctly for your TV/monitor.

·If your TV/monitor is connected using an S-video cable, try changing the S-Video Out setting.

Picture disturbance during playback or the picture is dark.

·This player is compatible with Macro-Vision System copy guard. Some discs include a copy prevention signal, and when this type of disc is played back, stripes, etc., may appear on some sections of the picture, depending on the TV. This is not a malfunction.

·Due to the player’s copy protection circuits, connection of this device through a VCR or an AV selector may prevent recording or cause picture problems. This is not a malfunction.

No audio, or audio is distorted.

·No audio is output during slow motion playback or when scanning discs other than audio CDs.

·Some DVD discs do not output digital audio: Switch your amplifier to the player’s analog outputs.

·Check that the disc is free from dust and dirt, and that it is not damaged.

·Check that all interconnects are firmly inserted.

·Check that you are connected to the outputs not the inputs.

·Check that the plugs and terminals are free of dirt, oxide, etc. and clean if necessary. Also check the cable for damage.

·Make sure the player’s output is not connected to the amplifier’s phono (turntable) inputs.

·Check your amplifier/receiver’s settings (volume, input function, speaker settings, etc.).

The analog audio is OK, but there appears to be no optical/coaxial digital audio signal.

·Make sure that the Digital Out setting is set to On.

·Check that a red light is shining out of the optical digital output. If so, it is most likely working and the problem is elsewhere.

·Check that the Dolby Digital, DTS and MPEG out settings are suitable for your amplifier/receiver—check the instruction manual that came with your amplifier/receiver.

·SACDS and some DVD-Audio discs do not output digital audio. Listen through the player’s analog audio outputs.

Noticeable difference in DVD and CD volume.

·This is due to differences in the audio format and is not a malfunction.

Noticeable difference in Player and pass-through volume.

·This is because the pass-through source does not match the player volume. Adjust the pass-through source volume. This is not a malfunction.

Cannot play multichannel audio.

·Make sure that Audio Output Mode is set to 5.1 Channel.

·Check that the Dolby Digital, DTS and MPEG Out settings are suitable for your amplifier/receiver—check the instruction manual that came with your amplifier/receiver.

·DVD-Audio and SACDs do not output multichannel digital audio. Listen through the player’s analog outputs.

·Check that the settings in the Speaker Installation screen are correct.

·Check the audio options available from the disc menu.

Cannot listen to high-sampling rate audio through the optical/coaxial digital output.

·Make sure that Linear PCM Out is set to Down Sample Off .

·Use the MSB Network output.

·As a copy-protection measure, some DVDs do not output 96kHz audio. In this case, even if set to Down Sample Off, the player automatically outputs the audio at 48 kHz. This is not a malfunction. Use the MSB Network for full resolution.

Cannot output 192kHz or 176.4kHz digital audio from optical/coaxial output.

·The player does not output digital audio from the optical/coaxial jacks at these sampling rates. The digital output is automatically downsampled. Use MSB Network output.

Audio is distorted and full of static on a particular DVD-Audio track or disc but DVDs and CDs play fine.

·Check if the disc is recorded in 44.1 kHz sampling rate (press display button on remote) and if the digital output is enabled (Is a red light coming out of the optical digital output?) If so, go to initial setup menu and turn off the digital output.

Cannot output 96kHz or 88.2kHz digital audio from optical/coaxial output.

·Check that Linear PCM Out is set to Down Sample Off.

·Some discs are digital copy protected and do not output high sampling rate digital audio. In this case the output is automatically downsampled. Use the MSB network output.

No DTS audio output from optical/coaxial output.

·If this unit is connected to a non-DTS compatible amplifier or decoder using a digital audio cable, set DTS Out to DTS>PCM. If you do not do this, noise will be output when you play a DTS disc.

·If this unit is connected to a DTS-compatible amplifier or decoder using a digital audio cable, check the amplifier settings,
