4 Press 3 (play) to start playback.

If you’re playing a DVD or Video CD, a menu may appear. See pages 27, 28 for how to navigate these.

If you’re playing an MP3 disc, it may take a few seconds before playback starts, depend- ing on the complexity of the file structure on the disc.

1If the player isn’t already on, press STANDBY/ON to switch it on.

If you’re playing a DVD or Video CD, also turn on your TV and make sure that it is set to the correct video input.

2Press 0 OPEN/CLOSE to open the disc tray.

•After I load a DVD disc, it ejects automati- cally after a few seconds!

Most likely, the disc is the wrong region for your player. The region number should be printed on the disc; check it against the region number of the player (which you can find on the rear panel). See also page 11.

If the region number is OK, it may be that the disc is damaged or dirty. Clean the disc and look for signs of damage. See also page 49.
