Troubleshooting
If a fault occurs, first check the points listed below before taking the set for repair.
If you are unable to remedy a problem by following these hints, consult your dealer or service center.
No picture
•Check if the player is connected securely.
•Make sure you operate the TV correctly.
•Make sure you set the color system correctly.
Bad sound quality
WARNING:
Do not open the set as there is a risk of electric shock. Under no circumstances should you try to repair the set yourself, as this will invalidate the warranty.
No sound/power
•Check if the player is connected securely.
•Check volume on the player
•Disconnect headphone when not using headphone.
•Make sure you operate the TV or amplifier correctly.
•Make sure you have selected DVD player position on the amplifier.
•The power circuit in your player is designed with a power shutdown mode. This is activated only during battery power operation of the player when the battery becomes completely drained. When this happens:
1Adjust the POWER switch on the play- er to the OFF position.
2Connect your player to AC power with the supplied power adaptor.
3Let the player stand idle for 30 seconds before switching on again to resume disc operation on AC power supply.
Loud noise when operating the player
•This is normal and due to mechanical parts. Playback is not affected.
The player feels very warm
•When the player is in use for a long period of time, the surface will be heated. This is normal.
•Make sure the audio output mode is set correctly.
•Make sure you did not connect any cables from the DVD player to a Stereo’s “PHONO IN” jack.
•Make sure you did not connect the play- er’s COAXIAL digital audio out jack to an analog jack on the Stereo. (Analog audio jacks are usually labeled as such and are usually red and white. Coaxial jacks are usually black.)
Disc cannot play
•Check you have loaded a disc in the player if empty.
•Check you have loaded a disc properly with the label side up.
•Disc dirty/ damaged. Clean the disc.
•Moisture has condensed in the player. Remove the disc and leave the player to adjust to the surrounding temperature.
Remote control does not work
•Remove obstacles between the remote control and the player, and point directly instead of at a wide angle at the infrared sensor on the player.
•Battery maybe exhausted. Replace the battery with a new one.
•To avoid interference with other electrical equipment, try using the remote control with a minimum distance of 7 inch- es from the sensor on the player.
