DVD Problems

Player won’t work

Reset the TV/DVD by unplugging the AC power cord and plugging it back in.

Disc won’t play

Insert a disc with the label side facing up.

Check the type of disc you put into the disc tray. This TV/DVD only plays DVD video discs, Video CDs, audio CDs and MP3s.

If the disc is a DTS music CD, it requires a DTS decoder. If you have a DTS receiver hooked up to your TV/DVD and you are still not getting sound, make sure the sound is set correctly (see Chapter 5).

Both the TV/DVD and the disc are coded by region. If the regional codes don’t match, the disc can’t be played. This TV/DVD is Region No. 1.

Play starts, but then stops immediately

The disc is dirty. Clean it.

Condensation has formed. Allow player to dry out.

No sound or distorted sound

Make sure your TV/DVD is connected properly. Make sure all cables are securely inserted into the appropriate jacks.

You may need to readjust the Digital Output settings from the Sound menu (see Chapter 5).

Sound is muted during still, frame advance, or slow-motion play.

If you connected an audio or audio/video receiver to your TV/DVD, 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 icon appears on screen

The feature or action cannot be completed at this time because:

1.The disc’s software restricts it.

2.The disc’s software doesn’t support that feature (e.g., angles).

3.The feature is not available at the moment.

4.You’ve requested a title or chapter number that is out of range.

The picture is distorted

The disc might be damaged. Try another disc.

Picture is distorted during forward and reverse scan

It is normal for some distortion to appear while scanning.

A screen saver appears on the screen

Your TV/DVD is equipped with a screen saver that appears on the screen after the DVD mode has been idle for several minutes. Press STOP or GO BACK on the remote to make the screen saver disappear from the screen and return to the DVD’s main menu.

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 initial settings will not be seen/heard. The disc’s priority language is selected instead. Set the subtitle and/or audio language manually through the Info Display or the DVD’s main menu.
