Getting Started—Continued

Hint:

•After I load a DVD disc, it ejects automatically after a few seconds!

o 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 “DVD-Video regions” on page 48.

o 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 Taking care of your player and discs on page 9.

•Why won’t the disc I loaded play?

o First check that you loaded the disc the right way up (label side up), and that it’s clean and undam- aged. See Taking care of your player and discs on page 9 for information on cleaning discs.

o If a disc loaded correctly won’t play, it’s probably an incompatible format or disc type, such as DVD-Audio or DVD-ROM. See “Supported Discs” on page 7 for more on disc compatibility.

•I have a widescreen TV so why are there black bars at the top and bottom of the screen when I play some discs?

o Some movie formats are such that even when played on a widescreen TV, black bars are neces- sary at the top and bottom of the screen. This is not a malfunction.

•I have a standard (4:3) TV and set the player to show widescreen DVDs in pan & scan format, so why do I still get black bars top and bottom with some discs? o Some discs override the display preferences of the player, so even if you have “4:3 (Pan&Scan)”

selected, those discs will still be shown in letter box format. This is not a malfunction.
