Chapter 6: Additional Information

No sound or distorted sound

•Make sure your player is connected properly. Make sure all cables are securely inserted into the appropriate jacks.

•You may need to readjust the Digital Output setting (from the Options menu). Go to page 45. If you select DTS, and your Digital Media Recorder isn’t connected to a DTS-capable receiver, you won’t hear any sound.

•Turn your TV to its Video Input Channel (go to page 16).

•Sound is muted when you’re using search features (fast forward, reverse, frame advance, etc.).

•If you connected an audio receiver to your Digital Media Recorder, make sure you chose the correct input setting on the receiver.

Can’t advance through a movie

•You can’t advance through the opening credits and warning information that appear at the beginning of movies because the disc is programmed to prohibit that action.

The picture is distorted and/or fuzzy

•The disc might be damaged. Try another disc.

•It is normal for some distortion to appear during forward or reverse scan.

•Turn the PROG SCAN switch on the back of the Digital Media Recorder to the “off” position. This switch should only be turned on if you’ve connected the Digital Media Recorder to a television that uses progressive scanning to display the image. Some, but not all High Definition Televisions (HDTVs) and multimedia monitors use progressive scan.

Subtitle and/or audio language is not the one selected from the initial setting

•If the subtitle and/or audio language does not exist on the disc, the disc’s priority language will be selected instead. Set the subtitle and/or audio language manually through the Info Display or the Digital Media Recorder’s menu system.

Play doesn’t begin

•The rating of the title on the disc exceeds the rating limit set in the Ratings Limits menu. Unlock the player and/or change the rating limit in those menus. Go to page 47 for more information.

No forward or reverse scan

•Some discs have sections that prohibit rapid scanning, or title and chapter skip.

•If you’re trying to skip through the warning information and credits at the beginning of a movie, you won’t be able to. This part of the movie is often programmed to prohibit skipping through it.

Desired angle cannot be changed

• Most discs don’t have the multi-camera angle system, and some discs only have mutliple angles during certain parts of the movie.

Picture is too tall and thin

• Change the Screen Format in the menu system. Go to page 43 for more information.

Picture is too short and wide

• Change the Screen Format in the menu system. Go to page 43 for more information.

RECORDING/COPYING PROBLEMS

Cannot copy discs to videotape

• You can’t record DVD discs onto videocassettes because the discs are encoded with anti-copy protection.
