No sound

•Connect the audio cables firmly. Make sure the cables are connected to the AUDIO IN jacks on the TV or audio equipment. Details are on pages 12-14.

•Check the audio settings of the DVD/VCR. Details are on pages 62 and 68-69.

•Turn on the power of the audio equipment and make sure it is set to the correct channel, usually Auxiliary IN. Refer to the owner’s manual of the audio equipment for details.

•Check the audio settings of the Disc. For example, you may have selected “soundtrack” playback on a DVD. Only the music of the movie will play, not the characters’ dialog; music might not be recorded throughout the entire DVD.

Distorted picture

•Connect the DVD/VCR directly to the TV. Details are on pages 8-14.

•There are some cases where the picture may be distorted slightly; this is not a malfunction of the DVD/VCR.

The camera angle cannot be changed.

•The DVD might not contain segments recorded from different camera angles. See if multiple angles are available. Details are on page 64.

The audio or subtitle language cannot be changed.

•The DVD does not contain audio or subtitles in the desired language. Not all DVDs contain audio or subtitles in multiple languages. See if other languages are available. Details are on pages 62-63.

"No feature" symbol appears on the screen, prohibiting an operation.

•That operation is currently prohibited by the DVD/VCR or is not available on the Disc. Details are on page five.

The DVD/VCR switches to VCR mode automatically.

•The DVD/VCR will switch to VCR mode automatically if disc playback is paused or stopped for more than 30 minutes (and no buttons are pressed on the remote control or the DVD/VCR).

A screen saver appears on the TV screen.

•The DVD whale will appear on the TV screen if Disc playback is stopped for more than one minute (and no buttons are pressed on the remote control or the DVD/VCR). The DVD whale moves around on the screen to prevent damage to your TV’s picture tube. A prolonged still image, including TV station identi- fication logos or video games, may damage the picture tube.
