FAQ

•My DVD player switches on but there is nothing displayed on my TV.

Make sure that the TV is set to the correct video input (not a TV channel). For example, if you connected this player to the VIDEO 1 inputs on your TV, switch your TV to VIDEO 1.

Note

•This player features a screen saver and an auto power off function. If the player is stopped and no button is pressed for around five minutes, the screen saver starts.
