Additional Information

If the Setup screen is opened during playback of a DVD being viewed in the letter box format, the screen may switch to the wide screen format.

This is not a malfunction. The screen will return to normal when the Setup screen is closed.

Picture disturbance during playback or 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.

The TV system may be set inappropriately. See Setting the TV System on page 16.

Discs respond differently to particular player functions. This may result in the screen becoming black for a brief instant or shaking slightly when the function is executed.

These problems are largely due to differences between discs and disc content and are not malfunctions of this player.

• When using progressive-scan.

If your TV is connected using the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT jacks, set the Component Video menu to Interlace (page 48).

When recorded on a VCR or passed through an AV selector, there is disturbance in the playback picture.

Due to the player’s copy protection circuits, connec- tion of this device through a VCR or an AV selector may prevent recording or cause picture problems.

This is not a malfunction.

Some settings in the Setup Menu do not appear.

The Setup Menu Mode is set to Basic; set it to Expert (page 39).

The remote control doesn't seem to work.

• The CONTROL IN jack on the rear panel is connected.

Check that REMOTE CONTROL SW is set to the external position (page 10).

The remote control is too far from the player, or the angle with the remote sensor is too wide.

Use the remote within its operating range (page 7).

• The batteries are exhausted.

Put in new batteries (page 7).

Check that REMOTE CODE setting is set to the correct position (page 14, 16).

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

Linear PCM Out is set to Down Sample On. Set to Down Sample Off.

As a copy-protection measure, some DVDs do not output 96kHz audio.

In this case, even if Down Sample Off is selected, the player automatically outputs the audio at 48 kHz. This is not a malfunction.

No audio, or audio is distorted.

• Some DVD discs do not output digital audio.

Switch your amplifier to the player's analog outputs.

Dirt, dust, etc. on the disc. Clean the disc (page 58).

Interconnects are not fully inserted into the terminals (or are not connected).

Check that all interconnects are firmly inserted.

Dirty or oxidized plugs/terminals.

Clean the plugs/terminals.

• Incorrect audio cable connection.

Check the audio connections (pages 10-12).

Player's output is connected to the amplifier's phono (turntable) inputs.

Connect to any set of inputs except phono.

The disc is paused.

Press 3 or 8 to exit the pause mode.

• Incorrect amplifier settings.

Check that the volume is turned up, that the speakers are on, the input function set correctly, etc.

• The Audio Out setting is incorrect.

If there is no dialog from the front L/R speakers, set Audio Out to 2 Channel. If there is no output from the rear, center and subwoofer speakers, set Audio Out to 5.1 Channel (page 43).

The player is set to 5.1ch playback, but sound is only 2ch.

Check that 2ch playback is not selected in the disc’s menu.

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

• Incorrect Audio 1 menu settings.

Make sure that the Digital Out setting is set to On (page 42).

Check that the Dolby Digital and DTS settings are suitable for your amplifier—check the amp's instruction manual.
