Further information

There is no picture

Select the correct In socket on your TV set.

The TV mode is not in the correct position. It must be set to SCART (RGB) if the player is connected to the TV through the Scart-Peritel connector, or to Yuv if the player is connected to the TV by the 3 Y, Pr, Pb (COMPONENT) connectors.

Important - If you don’t have a Progressive Scan TV or you don’t have the DVD player connected to the correct Input Jacks, and you activate Progressive Scan in the DVD player you won’t see a picture!

Don’t panic—try the following: first, press the PREV/video button on the front of the DVD player (it will go to the next video output option, which is an interlace output so a picture should appear on the TV screen). If that doesn’t work, press and hold PREV/video button on the front of the DVD player for 3 seconds. Now, press the PREV/video button again (it will go to the next video output option, which is an interlace output so a picture should appear on the TV screen). As a last resort, you can reset the DVD player to the factory default settings.

There is no sound, or it can hardly be heard

Ensure that the plugs of the various cables are securely fitted into the sockets.

If you connect an appliance (such as an amplifier) that includes a DTS or Dolby Digital decoder, check that the input parameters of the appliance are correctly defined.

According to the type of connection, select the appropriate setting in the sound menu of your player and tick the DTS or Dolby Digital options.

The remote control unit does not work

Did you press the key corresponding to the appliance to be controlled (DVD,VCR,TV)? Is the appliance to be controlled manufactured by a brand other than one in the Thomson group (Thomson, Brandt, Ferguson, Saba,Telefunken)?

Point the remote control unit toward the front of the player.The maximum distance from which it can be used is 8 metres. Ensure that there is no obstacle (object, animal) between the remote control unit and the player.

Remove batteries and hold down one or more keys for several minutes to drain the microprocessor inside the remote to reset it. Reinstall batteries and try remote again.

The batteries are fully discharged and must be replaced.When you insert the replacement batteries, ensure you align their positive and negative polarities correctly (page 2).

The invalid icon appears on the screen

• Some functions are not accessible because they depend on the disc playing.

The language of subtitles or dialogues is not the one you selected at the time of the initial setup

When the language of subtitles or dialogues is not available on the disc, a default language is selected automatically.You can select the subtitles or dialogue language through the information banner (INFO key) or the language selection menu on the player.

The menu language is not the one you wanted

In STOP mode select the Languages menu on the DVD player, then the Player Menu function. Select a language from among those available, OK.
