PROBLEMS
If it appears that your DVD-Video player is faulty, first consult this checklist. It may be that something simple has been overlooked.
Under no circumstances should you try to repair the player yourself, as this will invalidate the warranty. Only qualified service personnel can remove the cover or service this player.
*When the unit is switched on the first time, S-Video will be the default video output. Press the V-SELECT button to select the correct output modes. Your current output mode will show on the VFD.
NO POWER
•Check if the on/off button on the front of the player is set to on.
•Check if the power cord plug is properly connected.
•Check if there is power at the AC outlet by plugging in another appliance.
NO PICTURE
•Check if the TV is switched on.
•Select the correct AV input on the TV.
•Check the video connection.
•Check if channel selector is set to AV on the TV. (See your TV manual for instructions).
•When Progressive Scan is on, composite video output is disabled. Press the V-SELECT button to select the correct video output mode. Otherwise no picture or distorted picture will be found.
DISTORTED PICTURE
•Check the disc for fingerprints and clean with soft cloth, wiping from center to edge.
•Sometimes a small amount of picture distortion may appear. This is not a malfunction.
•The disc format does not match the TV-set used (PAL/NTSC).
•Ensure that ONLY one video output is connected.
NO COLOR IN PICTURE
•The disc format is not the same as that of the TV-set used (PAL/NTSC).
•Ensure DVD player is not connected through VCR.
PICTURE SWING
•Relocate the unit further away from possible interference or emission sources (e.g. Radio, Power Amplifier, radiator etc.).
NO RETURN TO START-UP SCREEN WHEN DISC IS REMOVED

THE PLAYER DOES NOT RESPOND TO THE REMOTE CONTROL
again.
•Irrespective of the actual recording capacity of the CD-R, do not use its full capacity.
•CD-Rs should be preferably used instead of CD-RWs (rewritable CDs) as, in certain cases, CD-RW playback may be faulty.
•Use reliable, good-quality CD writing software.
•Close all other applications on the computer to ensure reliable CD-R disc recording.
MP3 Files
CD-R and CD-RW discs containing audio files in MP3 format. As for CD-R
MP3 discs, please follow all the recommendations for CD-R above, along with the comments below:
•Your MP3 files should be ISO 9660 or JOLIET format. ISO 9660 format and Joliet MP3 files are compatible with Microsoft’s DOS and Windows, as well as with Apple Mac. These two formats are the most widely used.
•MP3 filenames should not exceed 12 characters, and should end with the “.MP3” extension. General name format: “Title.MP3”. When composing your title ensure that you use 8 characters or less, have no spaces in the name, and avoid the use of special characters including ( . , / , \ , = ,+).
•Use a decompression transfer rate of at least 128kB/sec (kilobytes/second) when recording MP3 files. Sound quality with MP3 files basically depends on the rate of compression / decompression you choose. Obtaining audio CD quality sound requires an analog/digital sampling rate, that is converted to MP3 format, of at least 128kB/sec and up to 160kB/sec. Choosing higher rates, such as 192 kB/sec or more, will rarely produce better sound quality. Conversely, files with sampling rates below 128kB/sec will not play properly.
•Do not try recording copyright-protected MP3 files. “Secured” files are encrypted and code-protected to prevent illegal copying. You must not copy such files.
Important:
The above recommendations cannot be taken as a guarantee that the DVD player will play MP3 recordings, or as an assurance of sound quality. You should note that certain technologies and methods for MP3 file recording on CD-Rs prevent optimal playback of these files on your DVD player (i.e. degraded sound quality and even, in some cases, inability of the player to read the file).
WMA Files
CD-R with WMA files. Usable format similar to MP3 files; also see “MP3 Files” for reference.
JPEG Files
CD-R and CD-RW with JPEG files. Certain JPEG files, including progressive JPEG files, cannot be read by this player.
MPEG 4 Files
CD-R and CD-RW disc containing video files in MPEG 4 format, with stereo audio output only.
As for CD-R MPEG 4 discs, please follow all the recommendations for CD-R above, along with the comments below:
• Your MPEG 4 files should be ISO format without QPEL. |
