• The disc rating is higher than the limit that you have set (page 63).

Your DivX files won’t play

• Check that the file is actually DivX

When you encounter problems make sure that:

-the file that you are trying to play actually contains DivX video.The files often use the term “DivX” in their filename even though they have in fact been coded in another format.

Problems playing DivX version 5.1 and the version 2.5 player

With certain recent version, coding problems may arise with DivX files which are related directly to the capacities of your computer.The coding may require the entire capacity of the microprocessor and alter the quality of the image or desynchronise the image and the sound.
