FAQ

·After I load a DVD disc, it ejects automatically after a few seconds! Most likely, the disc is the wrong region for your player. The region number should be printed on the disc; the player is region 1. 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.

·Why won’t the disc I loaded play? First check that you loaded the disc the right way up (label side up), and that it’s clean and not damaged. If a disc loaded correctly won’t play, it’s probably an incompatible format or disc type, such as DVD-ROM.

·There’s no picture! Make sure that if your TV isn’t compatible with progressive scan video, that the PROGRESSIVE indicator isn’t lit. If it is, connect using composite output and change to interlaced mode.

·I have a widescreen TV so why are there black bars at the top and bottom of the screen when I play some discs? Some movie formats are such that even when played on a widescreen TV, black bars are necessary 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? 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 letterbox format. This is not a malfunction.

·My DVD-Audio disc starts playing, but then suddenly stops! The disc may have been illegally copied.

·My CD with MP3 tracks won’t play! Also make sure that the tracks are encoded in MPEG1 audio layer 3 format.

·Some MP3 tracks don’t show up. Where are they? Filenames that don’t end with the extension “.mp3” won’t be recognized by this player. Also, if there are more than 250 folders or tracks on the disc, only the first 250 are recognized.

·There’s no audio from the optical/coaxial outputs! If the IEEE1394 interface is active, the digital audio outputs are switched off.

·My AV receiver is definitely compatible with 96/88.2kHz Linear PCM audio, but it doesn’t seem to work with this player. What’s wrong? For digital copy-protection purposes, some 96/88.2kHz DVD discs only output digital audio downsampled to 48/44.1kHz through the optical and coaxial outputs. This is not a malfunction. To fully take advantage of the high sampling rate audio, either connect the analog audio outputs to your amplifier/receiver or use the MSB Network with an outboard DAC.

·Why can’t I hear SACD audio through the optical/coaxial digital outputs or the MSB Network? SACD audio is only available through the analog outputs and the IEEE1394 connector. This is not a malfunction. Some DVD-Audio discs too only output audio through the analog outputs, the MSB Network and the IEEE1394 connector.

·Is it better to listen to DVD-Audio discs through the analog outputs? Some DVD-Audio discs do not output anything through the digital outputs, and multichannel discs are downmixed to stereo for the optical and coaxial digital outputs. In addition, high sampling rate DVD-Audio discs (96kHz or higher) automatically downsample audio output from the optical/coaxial digital outputs. Using the multichannel analog audio outputs, MSB Network or the IEEE1394 connector for DVD-Audio have none of these limitations.
